Q

Pathway of filtration in a nephron

A

Afferent BV
(Thru podocytes)
Glomerulus
PCT
Loop of henle
DCT
Collecting ducts

Minor calyx
Major calyx
Renal pelvis

101
Q

Lining of kidney

A

Renal tubules- Simple cuboidal epithelium
Bowman’s capsule- simple squamous

102

Nephron is the filtering unit of the kidney

103
Q

Vessels adjacent to renal tubules

A

Vasa recta

104

Macula densa in DCT detects NaCl concentration.
High = afferent arterioles to constrict,
Low = aa to dilate and juxtaglomerular cells to release renin –> aldosterone (reuptake Na, inc BP)

108
Q

organelle used by wbc to move across endothelium

organelle used by wbc to move across endothelium

A

pseudopods

110
Q

phenomenon through which blood borne antigens are attracted and fixed to areas of inflammation?

A

anachoresis

111
Q

explain humoral immunity

A

mediated primarily by b cells

antigen is engulfed by APC (B cells) — presents the digested antigen (MHC2) — T-helper/CD4 recognizes MHC2 and binds — CD4 releases cytokines to alarms other WBCs and activates B-lymphocytes — B cells transforms to memory B cell and plasma cell which will produce antibodies

Ag-Ab complex will activate complement system
— c3b binds ti Fc receptor of antibody (opsonization) — destruction of antigen by phagocytosis or enzymes *some can resist — Membrane attack complex (C5b, c6, c7, c8, c9)

112
Q

explain cell-mediated immunity

A

mediated by t cells
prevent spread at a cellular level

infected/cancer cell presents antigen (MHC1) — CD4 binds — Cd8 activation — cd8 binds to cell with mhc1 — cell is destroyed

113
Q

mediator of the different hypersensitivity types

A

type 1 Allergic = IgE
type 2 Cytotoxic hyper = IgM/IgG
type 3 Immune complex hypersensitivity = antigen and antibody complex accumulation
type 4 Delayed = immune cells (T-cells)

114
Q

differentiate the 3 cell types according to regenerative property

A

labile - multiplies throughout life, short life
stable cell - multiplies when damaged
permanent cell - cannot multiply

A

diabetic glomerulosclerosis / Kimmel Stiel-Wilson syndrome

117
Q
