Lecture 33 Unit 5 Flashcards
what is the formula for rate of excretion
rate of glomerular filtration+rate of secretion - rate of reabsorption
what produces glomerular filtrate
blood pressure
how much filtrate is reabsorbed per day to form how much urine per day
180 liters/day of filtrate to form 1-2 liters/day of urine
what is filtering capacity enhanced by
- thinness of membrane
- large surface area of glomerular capillaries
- high glomerular capillary blood pressure
what does the filtration barrier consist of
- fenestration of glomerular endothelial cell
- basal lamina of glomerulus
- slit membrane between pedicels
what do fenestrations of glomerular epithelial cells do
prevents filtration of blood cells but allows all components of blood plasma to pass through
what does the basal lamina of glomerulus do
prevents filtration of larger proteins
what does the slit membrane between pedicels do
prevents filtration of medium sized proteins
what are macula densa cells and where are they located
top of ascending limb and they interact with cells lining the afferent arteriole
what is the thickened part of the ascending limb
macula densa
what is the net filtration pressure in the nephron
10 mmHg
what is the glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure
55 mmHg
what is the capsular hydrostatic pressure
15 mmHg
what is the blood colloid osmotic pressure
30 mmHg
what is the amount of filtrate formed in all renal corpuscles of both kidneys per minute
125 mL/min
