PHYS 3 renal transport mechanisms Flashcards
Transepithelial transport
must go across what 5 barriers?
why filter a lot of blood then reabsorb 99% of it?
why not filter and excrete the 1% that needs to be eliminated?
Draw the overview of reabsorption of the nephron
essentials of the proximal tubule
reabsorbs what?
keh element in proximal tubule reabsorption is?
changes in concentration in proximal tubule
special feature?
glucose and AA?
Na?
H2O?
what increases?
Na-K-ATPase in PCT
what is the mechanism of action?
ways to transport?
ATPases location?
route specifications
in order to reach the blood reabsorbed substances must either?
Transcellular vs paracellular route
what does most of the energy used for reabsorption go towards?
what route will Na usually go down?
Transporting Na?
can be broken down to 3 steps?
what is used to get Na into the tubule cells?
this is important for what other absorption?
what two questions does this bring up?
How is bicarbonate reabsorbed?
start with?
transporters?
H?
Carbonic anhydrase is key
Chloride reabsoption
what drives this?
water movement and paracellular movement
when would there be movement vs when would there not?
