Lecture 34 Unit 5 Flashcards
what is the relationship between tubular fluid and blood at the end of the PCT
isotonic
what is the relationship between tubular fluid and blood at the end of the loop of henle
hypotonic to blood
what is the relationship between tubular fluid and blood at the renal corpuscle
isotonic to blood
what does most reabsorption
PCT
what does the rest of the nephron besides the PCT do
- solutes reabsorbed by active and passive processes
- water follows solutes by osmosis
- small proteins move across into the blood by pinocytosis
what does tubular secretion do
transfers materials fr9m blood into tubular fluid
what happens in tubular secretion
- controls blood pH through secretion of H+
- helps eliminate certain substances
what happens in paracellular reabsorption
-50% of reabsorbed material moves between cells by diffusion in some parts of tubule
what happens in transcellular reabsorption
material moves through both the apical and basal membranes of the tubule cell by active transport
how is Na+ reabsorbed
Na+/K+ ATPase pumps sodium from tubule cell cytosol through the basolateral membrane
what is obligatory water reabsorption
when water is obliged to follow the solutes being reabsorbed
what is facultative water reabsorption
occurs in collecting duct under the control of ADH
what helps reabsorb materials from filtrate in PCT
Na+ symporters
how are intracellular sodium levels kept low
Na+/K+ pumps on the basolateral side
what is glycosuria
some glucose remains in the urine
what happens if blood glucose levels exceed 200 mg/ml
renal symporters cannot reabsorb glucose fast enough
