Q

The vasa recta exists where?

A

inner medulla

35
Q

What is the significance of the ascending vasa recta splitting into multiple vessels

A

Suprarenal

37
Q

Renal Interstitial is comprised of

A

38
Q

The imperfect autoregulation of the kidney allows for ________

A

Long term BP management; allows for

39
Q

Which vessel in the kidney has the highest vascular resistance?

A

Efferent arteriole: has the largest drop in pressure downstream

40
Q

Specialized holes in the renal glomerular endothelium are called _________

A

fenestrations

41
Q

The layer of the renal glomerular capillary between the endothelium and epithelium is the ___________ and is made up of ____________

A

basement membrane, connective tissue

42
Q

What is the importance of the renal capillary epithelium?

A

provide support d/t high pressures

43
Q

What specialized cells provide support to the capillary epithelium?

A

Podocytes

44
Q

Podocyte foot processes form _______

A

slit pores

45
Q

The endothelium and basement membrane of glomerular capillaries are ____________ charged, which helps do what?

A

negatively charged, helps repel proteins from slipping through fenestrations

46
Q

Which substance would have the highest filterability?

a) small and - charge
b) small and + charge
c) small and neutral
d) Large and - charge
e) Large and + charge
f) Large and neutral

A

small and + charged

47
Q

The pudendal nerve branches from which spinal nerve(s)?

A

S2, 3 and 4
“S2, 3 and 4 keeps stuff off the floor”

48
Q

What is the function of the pudendal nerve?

A

maintain continence via constriction of external anal and external urinary sphincters. Erections in men.

49
Q

Prostate removal surgery has high likelihood of damaging which nerve?

A

pudendal nerve

50
Q

The macula densa is located where in the nephron?

A

Thick ascending limb

51
Q

The function of the macula densa

A

Monitor filtration rate

52
Q

Low flow detected by macula dense cells cause release of what?

A

renin

53
Q

Angiotensin II (ANG II) preferentially constricts ______, and causes _________ reabsorption in the __________

A

vasopressin (ADH)

68
Q

Vasopressin receptors in the kidney are _____

A

V2 receptors

69
Q

What type of receptor are V2 receptors?

A

GPCR, Gs

70
Q

Binding of vasopressin to V2 receptors causes

A

activation of adenylyl cyclase –> ^cAMP —> activate protein kinase A –> protein phosphorylation —> AQP-2 channels to move to apical membrane, allowing water reabsorption

71
Q

Which aquaporin channels are always on the basolateral membrane?

A

AQP-3 and 4

72
Q

________ is the disease caused by abnormality in how kidney responds to ADH

A

nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

73
Q

________ is the disease caused by insufficient release of ADH from pituitary gland

A

Central/neurogenic diabetes insipidus

74
Q

_______ is the example of one cause of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

A

Lithium

75
Q

lower limit of urine osmolarity

A

50 mOsm

76
Q

Which section of the nephron is also called the “diluting segment”

A

Thick ascending limb, because lots of reabsorption of ions, but impermeable to water causes dilution of the urine.

77
Q

How does alcohol affect ADH?

A

alcohol reduces ADH secreted by the pituitary gland, and decreases response of ADH by principal cells

78
Q

When osmoreceptors shrink it _________ action potential firing rate

A

increases
