Lecture: Urinary, Kidney, Electrolyte/Acid Base Balance Flashcards
Where is the urinary system derived from?
Mesoderm
Where are the kidneys located in infants and then adulthood?
Pelvis and then moves to the abdomen (retro peritoneum)
Function unit of kidney
Nephron
Senses sodium passing in distal convoluted tube
Macula densa
Cells that make the enzyme renin
Juxtaglomerular cells
Avg force of pushing water and soluters out of the blood and across the filtration membrane. HP gc (OUTWARD PRESSURE)
55-60 mmHg
Glomerulus is made with what kind of endothelium for filtration membrane permeability?
Fenestrated endothelium (only fits 3 nm or smaller molecules)
a hormone secreted by the kidneys that increases the rate of production of red blood cells in response to falling levels of oxygen in the tissues. Controls blood pressure with renin
Erythropoietin
Account for 85% of kidneys nephrons
Cortical nephrons
play an important role in kidney’s ability to produce concentrated urine
Juxtamedullary nephrons
Glomerulus produces the ___________
filtrate
Peritubular capillaries or vasa recta _________ most of the ___________
reclaims; filtrate
Region where most distal portion of ascending limb of the nephron loops lies against the afferent arteriole feeding the glomerulus.
Juxtaglomerular apparatus
Where are macula dense cells found?
Distal convoluted tubule
Where are JG cells found?
Arteriole wall
No urination/kidney stops functioning
Anuria
Urinating less than 50 ml/ day
Oliguria
Normal urination per day
1-2 L or 1,000-2,000 ml per day
What is the kidneys MAP
93 mmHg. Less than 80 will not be able to filter properly
The 3 steps in the kidney
- Filtration
- Reabsorption
- Secretion
Take place in the renal corpuscle and produces a cell- and protein-free filtrate,
Step 1. Filtration
(dumping into the waste container)
The process of selectively moving substances from filtrate back into the blood. Takes place in renal tubules and collecting ducts.
- Reabsorption: glucose, amino acids, water, salt..
(reclaiming what the body needs to keep)
Process of selectively moving substances from the blood into the filtrate
- Secretion:
(selectively adding back to the waste container)
How much plasma is filtered through glomeruli per minute?
120-125 ml
About _____ ml of blood passes through gomeruli per min, about ______ ml is plasma
1200 ml; 650 ml
A passive process in which hydrostatic pressure forces fluids and solutes through a membrane
Glomerular filtration
The pressure exerted by proteins in the blood
Colloid osmotic pressure in glomerular capillaries OP gc
What is the avg colloid osmotic pressure in glomerular cappilaries? OP gc
(protein trying to bring back filtrate into the glomerulus) INWARD PRESSURE
30 mmHg
What is the hydrostatic pressure in the capsular space? HP cs
(pressure exerted by fitrate in the glomerular capsule) INWARD PRESSURE
15 mmHg
How is net filtration pressure found?
(HP gc) - (OP cs + HP cs) = NFP
ex: 55 mmHg - (30 mmhg + 15 mmHg) = 10 mmHg`
Intrinsic Regulation of Glomerular Filtration
Renal autoregulation:
Myogenic Mechanism
Tubuloglomerular Feedback Mechanism
In vascular smooth muscle, when afferent arteriole is stretched (pressure rises) it will contract to regulate GFR and when it doesn’t stretch (pressure drops) the muscle relaxes
Intrinsic: Myogenic Regulation
