Q

List 5 general steps that occur in the proximal tubule that begin with sodium extrusion and end with bulk water reabsorption?

A
  1. Active extrusion of Na+ from epithelial cell to interstitium via Na+/K+ ATPase
  2. Passive entrance of Na+ from tubular lumen across apical membrane (mostly via Na+/H+ secondary active transporter) into cell to replace sodium removed in step 1
  3. Parallel movement of anions that must accompany the sodium to preserve electroneutrality (chloride and bicarbonate)
  4. Osmotic flow of water and solute from interstitium into peritubular capillary
  5. Bulk flow of water and solute from interstitium into peritubular capillary

11
Q

What is the fate of formate once it leaves the cell?

A

It combines with H+ (from the Na+/H+ secondary transporter) to form HF (formic acid) which then enters the cell!

Q

What is the fate of bicarbonate?

A

Leaves the cell and is put back into the blood stream by way of a Na+/HCO3- symporter (3 HCO3- : 1 Na+ ratio).

16
Q

What percent of bicarbonate that you filter is reclaimed in the proximal tubule?

A

80 %

17
Q

By what 3 mechanisms does water get reabsorbed?

A
  1. Diffusion
  2. Aquaporins
  3. Paracellularly
18
Q

What is meant by the term “iso-osmotic” in the proximal tubule?

A

Summed total of solutes reabsorbed is proportional to water reabsorbed

19
Q

What forces govern the facilitation of net uptake of the reabsorbed solutes?

A

Starling Forces

20
Q

Was the net in the glomerulus filtration or absorption?

A

Filtration!

21
Q

Is the net outcome filtration of absorption in the peritubular capillary?

A

Reabsorption!

22
Q

What happens to polar substances in the proximal tubule?

A

They are trapped in the lumen and you pee them out!

23
Q

What is “Liver Transformation?”

A

The liver can make drugs polar via CYP450 enzymes to keep them in the proximal tubule lumen so they are excreted in the urine!

24
Q

Why are non-polar substances (ex. steroids, cholesterol, oxygen) not excreted?

A

They can diffuse across the lipid bilayer!

25
Q

What is one thing that all weak organic acids and bases that we need to save have in common?

A

They are Monocarboxylic acids

26
Q

What nondisciminatory channels allow us to reabsorb WOA and WOBs?

A

Organic Anion channels and organic Cation Channels

27
Q

If the term “filtrate” is used, what is the location?

A

Lumen of the tubule

28
Q

How much do the kidneys filter?

A

125 mL/min

29
Q

What is secondary transport?

A

One solute moves down its electrochemical gradient and that drives the movement of the other.

30
Q

How does sodium get into the cell to begin with?

A

Na+/H+ transporter (Na+ in, H+ out).

31
Q

What is the concentration of sodium in the peritubular capillary?

A

140 mM

32
Q

What is glucosuria?

A

Abnormal finding = Glucose in urine

Tm has been reached.

33
Q

Where are most of the formate anti-porters?

A

Late sections of the proximal tubule

34
Q

Sum up the reabsorption of the proximal tubule (Na, CL, water, glucose, bicarbonate).

A

66 % of Na+, Cl-, H20 reabsorbed
100 % of glucose reabsorbed
80 % of bicarbonate reabsorbed

35
Q

What is the location for secretion/reabsorption for weak organic aids and bases?

A

Proximal Tubule
