Renal 8 Regulation of osmolality Flashcards
changes in extracellular fluid osmolality cause changes in intracellular fluid osmolality and cell volume
renal 8 regulation of osmolality
Extracellular fluid volume is regulated by controlling water excretion and intake. Kindyes respond to hyperosmolar state as if it were a water deficit and to hypoosmolar conditions as if it were water excess
renal 8 regulation of osmolality
correction requires a positive water balance leading to increased thirst and decreased renal water excretion
renal 8 regulation of osmolality
correction requires a negative water balance leading to decreased thirst and increased renal excretion

intake = output

1.) Loop of henle and vasarecta 2.) variable permeability of the collecting ducts to water 3.) Osmosreceptors 4.) ADH
renal 8 regulation of osmolality
Loop of henle (active exchange) NaK-ATPase drives the Na-K-2CL pum p. Creastes and osmotic gradient of 200 mOsm at each horizontal level. Creates a steep longitudinal greadient (300 mOsm in the cortex to 1200 mosm in the deep medulla)

Vasa recta (passive exchange) Extensions of the peritubular capillaries. Supply oxugen and nurtients to the medullary region with sluggish flow. Inflow: NaCl enters/H2O leaves Outflow: NaCl leaves/H2O enters Net effect = removal of reabsorbed NaCl and water. Fluid leaving the vasa reacta have a higher osmolarity compared to the fluid that entered (leaves more conentrated= taking away more salt back into systemic circulation)

renal 8 regulation of osmolality
ADH. ADH stimulates adenylate cyclase and causes water channels (aquaporins AQP-2) to fuse in the luminal membrane
renal 8 regulation of osmolality
hypothalamus (supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei) sense the osmolality of the plasma (remember these regions do not have a BBB because they have to be able to sense the osmolarity of the plasma and change ADH release from the posterior pituitary)
renal 8 regulation of osmolality
1.) Increase the permeability of collecting duct to water 2.) Increase activity of the Na-K-2Cl pump in the thick ascending loop of henle to maintain the intermedullary gradient to ensure that we can continue to reabsorb water 3.) Increase urea reabsorption
renal 8 regulation of osmolality
Impermeable to solutes and Permeable to water (water leaves the tubule) Tubular fluid becomes increasingly more hypertonic
renal 8 regulation of osmolality
Impermeable to water and Permeable to NaCl (diffuses out) and Urea (diffuses in)
