Metabolism/Urinary Flashcards
Main goal of Adenosine Triphosphate?
Make ATP
CHO metabolism: main forms
Glucose
Fructose
Galactose
CHO is transported into…
Cytoplasm
What is the most important and common carrier?
GLUT
Rate of CHO utilization is controlled by…
Insulin secretion
Glycolysis
Split glucose to 2 molecules of pyruvic acid 10 chemical reactions Net: 2 ATP, 2 NADH Input: glucose Output: pyruvate
Glycolysis compared to Electron Transport
Many more ATP w/ ETC
CHO: Pyruvic Acid/Krebs Cycle
Conversion to Acetyl Co-A (2)
No ATP
H+ formation (4)
Mitochondrial matrix
CHO: Citric Acid Cycle
Acetyl Co-A (2) to CO2 & H+
2 ATP formed (1/Acetyl Co-A), spine twice
CHO: Oxidative Phosphorylation
90% of total ATP formed via oxidation of H+ from glucose degradation
Mitochondria
Chemiosmotic mechanism
- ETC
- ATP synthase
- Transfer ATP to cytoplasm
32 ATP
ETC
most ATP
Lipid Metabolism
TG, Phospholipids, Cholesterol
TG to FA & glycerol
Glycerol to glycolysis
FAs enter mitochondria to Acetyl Co-A (Beta Oxidation)
Acetyl Co-A to Citric Acid Cycle
Protein Metabolism
Deamination - removal of amino groups from AAs, releases ammonia NH3
Conversion into urea (liver), excreted by kidneys
Kept acids undergo oxidation (Transamination)
Enters CAC
Produces slightly less ATP than glucose
Gluconeogenesis, Ketogenesis
ATP production levels
Protein
Developmental Physiology: Prenatal
Urine excretion - 2nd tri
Amniotic
Developmental Physiology: Infancy
Other kidney functions
Functional unit of kidneys?
Nephron
Male vs female: urethra
males have prostrate gland that can back up bladder, impact the kidneys if severe
Macula Densa
sensitive to NaCal
Vasodilation in afferent arterioles
renin release method of fluid balance
blood pressure regulation
Filtration* most time on
1) Filtration*
2) Resorption*
3) Secretion
4) Execretion
Bowman’s capsule
where glomerular filtration takes place
Last opportunity for filtration
Peritubular capillaries
Urinary excretion
Excretion = Filtration - Reabsorption + Secretion
Renal Handling
Filtration only: Creatinine
Filtration, partial reabsorption: NaCl
Filtration, complete reabsorption: AA/glucose, water
Filtration/secretion: acids/bases
