Lecture 32: Glomerular Filtration Flashcards
Objectives – List the components of the filtration barrier within the renal corpuscle – Describe the factors that determine net filtration pressure – Understand the mechanisms for the regulation of glomerular filtration rate
3 processes of nephrons and collecting ducts
glomerular filtration
tubular reabsorption
tubular secretion
glomerular filtration
part of blood plasma filtered into kidney golmerulus is a knot
blood flows through BP pushes plasma through fluid leaving pushed through filtering system
FILTRATION ONLY HAPPENS IN GLOMERULARIS
tubular re-absorption
water and useful substances reabsorbed into blood mostly water
tubular secretion
wastes are removed from blood and secreted into urine
excretion=
excretion= glomular filtration+secretion-re=absorption
rate of excretion
rate of filtartion + rate secretion - rate reabs
what enhances filterating capacity
thiness of membrane large SA of glomerular capps glomerular capp blood pressure high due to small size of efferent arteriole (exit smaller than input=more BP)
what does blood pressure produce?
glomerular filtrate
filtrate fraction
20% of plasma
so it may take 2 or 3 times to filter out a toxin
how much reabs per day?
48 gallons/day filtrates reabs to 1-2 qt urine
Net Filtration Pressure
NFP= total pressure that promotes filtration
NFP=GBHP - (CHP +BCO)
=10 mm Hg 55- (15+30)=10
if pressure higher, system wouldn’t work right
Glomerular Filtartion Rate (GFR)
amount of filtrate formed in all renal corpuscles of both kidneys/min
about 125 mL/min in adults (180 L/ day)
Homeostasis req for GFR
constant!
too high= loss of useful subastnaces due to speed of passage through nephron
too low= waste products may not be removed enough from body
GFR=
NFP= GHBP=CHP-BCOP mean arterial pressure-? afferent AP-> CHBP-> NFP-> GFR
what affects GFR?
changes in net filtration filtration stops of GBHP drops to 45 mm Hg (from 55) (45-45=0, nothing filtered out, just exits)
GHBP determined by…
