Renal Flashcards
Absorption
In gi tract, water into blood
Reabsorption
In nephron of kidney, fluid enters back into blood
Secretion
Going from blood to filtrate
Filtration
Only happens in glomerulus in PCT.
Thirst triggered by
Inc ECF osmolality, decreased blood volume
Hormones that control fluid excreted in urine
ANP, BNP, ADH, aldosterone
5 things that increase ADH secretion
Increased osmolality, decreased blood volume, pain, nausea, physiological stressors
What stimulates aldosterone release
Ang II and increased K in plasma
Where aldosterone works
Na K ATPase pump on basolateral side of DCT. Increases Na channels to increase Na in blood q
NP action and what they oppose
Increase Na in urine to diurese. Oppose aldosterone but not as strong
Calcium range
9-11 mg/do or 4.5-5.5 meq/L
Mg range
1.5-2.5 meq/l
PO4 charge and range adults, children, neonate
- 1
2. 5-4.5 mg/dl adults
4. 5-6.5 kids
4. 3-9.3 neonate
K range
3.5-5 meq/l, higher neonate
Molecules that can pass lipid bilayer easily
Hydrophobic: o2, co2, n2
Uncharged small: h20, urea, glycerol
How decreased SNS affects bladder
Relax internal sphincter, open it, urinate
How increased pns affects bladder
Contract detrusor muscle, open internal sphincter in urethra
How decreased somatic motor neuron activity affects bladder
Relax external urethral sphincter, open external, urinate
3 things that promote micturition
Decreased sns, increased pns, decreased somatic motor neuron
What are peritubular capillaries
Blood sys that’s parallel to tubules to reabsorb and secrete water and electrolytes
If something isn’t filtered in PCT where does it go
Efferent arteriole to renal vein
Role of cilia in nephron
Mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors
Which nephrons are deep, superficial, and have long or short loops
Superficial and short loops: cortical
Deep and long: juxtamedullary
Vasa recta
Capillaries on juxtamedullary nephrons
Glomerulus role
Capillary net that filters plasma and makes UF
Glomerulus in cortical nephrons: what efferent arterioles give rise to
Peritubular capillaries
Glomerulus in juxtamedullary nephrons: efferent arterioles give rise to what and role
Vasa recta, concentrate urine
PCT surface and role
Brush border villi, main site of reabsorption of solutes and water
PCT: which nephron allows more solute reabsorption
Juxtamedullary
Descending henle loop: what it isn’t and is permeable to, what it does
Permeable to water, impermeable to solute. Concentrates fluid.
How thin descending loop different in juxtamedullary vs cortical nephrons
Long, have pyramids that concentrate fluid
Thick ascending loop: impermeable to what, transporter And what it does
Water. Na K 2CL, reabsorb solutes, dilutes fluid, and concentration gradient set up
DCT: role, what acts on it
Electrolyte modifications, aldosterone
