renal Flashcards
functions:
make urine, filters waste out of the body, fluid balance, Ph balance, secondary endocrine: erythropoitein, renin, vit d, reabsorbtion/secretion/excretion
nephron
functional units of the kidneys
filtration begins at the …..
bowmans capsule
descending loop of henle is permeable to ….
h20
the ascending limb of henle is permeable to _____
solutes
ADH
stimulation: osmoreceptors, low Bf/decreased bp/ANG2/atrial stretch receptors/barrorecptors(-stretch)–>+ADH
actions: +expression of aquaporions on the apical side of tubular cells of the DCT
vasa recta
BV that picks up materials reabsorbed at the capillaries, surrounding the medullary loop
DCT
short nephron segment between macula densa/collecting ducts
(absorbs ions and h20)
Loop of henle
site of 20% solute reabsorption, makes the concentration gradient to pull H2O out( descending), and reabsorb solutes (ascending)
what is the toop of the loops concentration?
300mosm/L
concentration of the bottom of the loop?
1200 mosm/L
What is the concentration after the DCT?
-100 mosm/L
PCT?
segment of of renal tubule that absorb/secretes h2o& solutes ( in the renal cortex)
reabsorption mechanisms
transcellular:Na+ gradients/supporting transport proteins
secondary active transport: atp used to transport molecule against gradient and another molecule piggy backs.
paracellular: passive, H2o follows osmotically charged particles
Distal convoluted tubules & collecting ducts:
winds around the bowmans capsule
- dilute, -100mosm/L
