Physiology Review II Flashcards
proximal tubule
fluid that enters - isotonic
-concentration of substance equals plasma concentration for freely filtered substances
sodium in proximal tubule
2/3 filtered is reabsorbed
- driven by basolateral Na/K ATPase
- glomerulotubular feedback
catecholamine and ANG II
stimulate basolateral ATPase to increased Na reabsorption
-proximal tubule
water and electrolytes in proximal tubule
2/3 filtered H2O, K, and Cl (leaky) follow the sodium gradient
end of proximal tubule
osmolality of Na and K have not changed significantly
-but one third of filtered remains
SGLT-2
sodium-glucose linked transporter type 2
- in the kidney
- glucose and Na cotransport
metabolites in the proximal tubule
proteins, peptides, AAs, ketone bodies reabsorbed via secondary active transport
-linked to sodium transport
bicarbonate in the proximal tubule
80% reabsorbed
- combines with H+ in lumen to CO2 and H2O
- luminal carbonic anhydrase
- H+ pumped into lumen, exchanged for sodium
- also H + ATPase
- CO2 - crosses luminal membrane - combines with water
- reforms H and bicabonate
- H pumped back into lumen and bicarb exits basolateral membrane
important factor for proximal tubule H+ secretion
concentration of H+ in cell
- acidosis - increased H secretion and bicarb reabsorption
- alkalosis - decreased H secretion and bicarb reabsorption
ANG II
stimulates Na/H antiporter
-volume depleted state - increased bicarb reabsorption
uric acid in the proximal tubule
breakdown of nucleotides - xanthine oxidase
-90% is reabsorbed in proximal tubule
low pH - urate > uric acid - precipitate out - stone (gout)
secretion in proximal tubule
organic anions/cations
-PAH, inulin, PCN, atropine, morphine
concentration of inulin along tubule
index of water reabsorption
inulin concentration
freely filtered - concentration in BS = plasma
- water reabsorbed, inulin is not - [inulin] increases along tubule
- 2/3 reabsorbed in PT - inulin concentration triples
[highest] in collecting duct
loop of henle
fluid entering is isotonic - but volume is 1/3 filtered
- countercurrent mutliplier
- creates concentrated medulla
- predominantly NaCl and urea
- caused by juxtamedullary nephrons (surrounded by vasa recta)
descending limb loop of henle
permeable to water (15% reabsorption here)
-impermeable to solute
ascending limb loop of henle
impermeable to water
-solutes transport out
Na/K/2Cl transporter
thick ascending limb of loop of henle
- electroneutral
- reabsorb 25% filtered Na, Cl, and K
there is a K channel - allows diffusion back into lumen
calcium sensing receptor
basolateral membrane - ascending thick limb
- GPCR
- net effect - inhibit Na/K/2Cl transporter
- reduces positive luminal potential (less K back out)
- in turn decreases calcium reabsorption
**high plasma calcium can reduce ascending thick limb calcium reabsorption
distal tubule
early distal tubule - reabsorbs Na, Cl, Ca
