Renal 4 Flashcards
High capacity & variable; very selective
Many electrolytes and nutrients almost completely reabsorbed
Most waste products poorly reabsorbed.
Tubular reabsorption
Variable
Important for certain electrolytes (K+, H+), drugs, toxins.
Tubular Secretion
How much of urea is reabsorbed?
50%
How much of creatinine is reabsorbed?
0%
Once fluid is reabsorbed across the tubule epithelium into the interstitial fluid, it enters _____ via Bulk Flow
peritubular capillaries
Once fluid is reabsorbed across the tubule epithelium into the interstitial fluid, it enters peritubular capillaries via _____
Bulk Flow
The peritubular capillary and renal interstitial fluid favors filtration or reabsorption?
Reabsorption
Normal rate of Peritubular Capillary Reabsorption is ____ ml/min
124 ml/min
What is the normal GFR in ml/min?
125 ml/min
Which Starling’s force is the largest in the peritubular capillary and renal interstitial fluid physical forces?
Capillary colloid osmotic pressure
How much of filtered sodium is reabsorbed?
> 99%
Sodium Reabsorption can occur via both ____ and ______
Transcellular and Paracellular
Transcellular pathways-Passive across ____ membrane and active across _____ membranes
apical; basolateral
_____ membrane Na+ transport may be secondary active and tied to reabsorption of other substance
Apical membrane
Maximum rate some substances can be transported across the epithelium (absorption or secretion)
Due to saturation of transport proteins
Transport Maximum
______- is the plasma concentration that saturates the carrier (tubular load)
Renal Threshold
Once the ______ is reached for all nephrons, further increases in tubular load are not reabsorbed and are excreted.
transport maximum
As [Glucose]plasma increases, the [Glucose]filtrate ______, Glucose tubular load _______.
increases; increases
Reabsorption of Water is strictly active or passive?
Passive
As ___ reabsorbed, creates gradient for H2O reabsorption via osmosis
Na+
Which segment of the nephron is highly permeable to H2O?
Proximal tubule
As H2O moves via osmosis:-Carries other solvents along called _____
Solvent drag
