Q

Why filter 180L if only excreting 1%

A
  • rapid way to remove unwanted materials
  • rapid regulation of fluid and ions

7
Q

transepithelial transport

A

substances cross the apical and basolateral membranes of tubule cells to enter ECF (require protein transporters)

Q

how does Na cause secondary active transport (symport with Na+)

A

Na moving down its electrochemical gradient pulls glucose, amino acids, ions into the cell against their concentration gradient

14
Q

passive reabsorption (e.g. urea)

A

initially urea=urea
when Na and anions move, H20 drawn via osmotic gradient and urea now has concentration gradieint to move via paracellular transport

Q

what happens when excess glucose is filtered

A

more glucose then transporter so glucose excreted

20
Q

renal threshold

A

plasma concentration of a solute when it first appears in the urine

21
Q

amount excreted =

A

Amount filtered - amount absorbed + amount secreted

22
Q

what is glucose appearing in urine called

A

glucosuria or glycosuria

23
Q

what causes the peritubular capillary pressures to favor reabsorpition

A

colloid osmotic gradient from protein witihin peritubular capillaries draws fluid and dissolved solutes to be reabsorbed

24
Q

what does the hydrostatic pressure drop to after fluid is removed and resistance encountered

25
why does the oncotic pressure remain 30mmHg as blood travels to peritubular
plasma proteins are not filtered
26
what is the net pressure that drives fluid and solutes from interstitial space back into capillaries
20mmHg 30-10
27
what is secretion
transfer of molecules from ECF into lumen of nephron
28
what does secretion depend on like reabsorption
membrane transport proteins
29
what kind of process is secretion
active requiring movement of substances against concentration gradients
30
purpose of secretion
homeostatic regulation of K+ and H+ (in distal) organic compound removal (medications, in proximal)
31
what does secretion enhance
excretion of a substance
32
when will excretion of a substance be very high
if filtered, not reabsorbed, and then secreted
33
how are organic solutes secreted
multi step (tertiary) active transport (proximal tubule)
34
what is tertiary active transport
indirect active ATP process is 3 steps removed from movement of the molecule of interest
35
oat transporters
organic anion trasnporters
36
where do OAT transporters use energy from for tertiary indirect active transport
transporting dicarboxylates down their concentration gradient to move organic anions against their concentration gradient
37
what is a-ketoglutarate
by-product of citric acid cycle
38
what is direct active transport (tertiary process)
Na-K-ATPase keeps Na in cell low
39
what is secondary indirect active transport (tertiary process)
Na-dicarboxylate cotransporter concentrates a dicarboxylate in cell using energy from Na gradient
40
prior to 1930s what was leading cause of death
infection
41
why was all penicilin ingested be excreted within 3-4 hours
readily filtered and secreted using tertiary process
42
what would penicillin be given with
probenecid which was preferentially secreted by OAT transporter and prevented penicillin secretion
43
what does excretion tell us
only what body is eliminating, not renal function
44
what is GFR an indicator of
overall kidney function
45
what is renal handling/clearance info necessary for
new drugs
46
how do we look directly at filtration, reabsorption, and secretion at level of individual nephron
experimentally indirect methods using analysis of urine and blood
