Renal Flashcards
what filters first when blood enters the glomerulus? where does it enter?
water
Na
glucose
boweman’s space
where are podocytes found?
wrap around basement membrane of the glomerulus
what should NOT be in filtrate?
RBC
large proteins
what is in the wall of the afferent arteriole that helps control BP?
juxtaglomerular cells
what do juxtaglomerular cells produce? what does this do?
renin (produced in response to low BP)
reabsorb Na
increase blood volume
vasoconstruction
what is reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule?
water Na, Cl, K glucose uric acid amino acids
what is reabsorbed in the descending LOH?
water
what is reabsorbed in the ascending LOH?
Na, Cl, K
what is reabsorbed in the distal convuluted tubule?
Na, Cl, K
Ca
Mg
HCO3
what is reabsorbed in the collecting duct?
Na, Cl
urea
H20
what is secreted in the proximal convoluted tubule?
creatinine
H+
what is secreted in the distal convoluted tubule?
H+
K (Na/K transporter)
for HCO3 reabsorption, where is it Na dependent/Cl dependent?
Na - proximal convoluted
Cl - distal
what does aldosterone do? where does it work?
more Na reabsorption (raise BP)
K loss
distal convuluted
collecting ducts
what does ADH do?
increases aquaporin concentration in the collecting ducts (more water retained in circulation)
