Renal - Exam 2 Flashcards
functions of kidney - 5
- excretion of wastes/foreign substances
- regulation of electrolyte balance
- regulation of acid-base balance
- regulation of fluid osmolality/volume
- production and secretion of hormones
3 hormones kidneys produce and secrete
Vit D3, erythropoetin, renin
nutcracker syndrome is where the..
LEFT renal vein becomes compressed between the SMA and AORTA
results of nutcracker syndrome - 3
- kidney enlargement
- venous HTN
- rupture of thin walled veins of collecting system (HEMATURIA)
urinary tract obstructions are caused by
many mechanisms
list 5 causes of urinary tract obstructions
- polycystic kidney
- kidney stones
- blood clot
- carcinoma
- endometriosis
___ is the outer portion of the kidney, houses the glomerulus (filtration) and is where the renal artery becomes the renal vein
cortex
____ is the pyramid shaped inner portion of the kidney which houses most of the nephron (maintenance of salt and water balance in blood)
medulla
____ is the functional filtering unit of the kidney
nephron
we have ___ million nephrons in each kidney, number naturally declines with age
1.2 million
each nephron filters…
a small amount of blood
5 parts of the nephron
- glomerulus (cortex - filtration)
- proximal tubule (cortex)
- loop of Henle (medulla - concentrates urine)
- distal tubule (cortex)
- collecting ducts (medulla)
the nephron works by:
- the glomerulus lets ____ and ____ pass but not ____ or ___
- filtered fluid passes through the tubule which sends minerals to blood and removes waste. the product is ____
the nephron works by:
- the glomerulus lets fluid and _waste pass but not cells or protein
- filtered fluid passes through the tubule which sends minerals to blood and removes waste. the product is urine
JGA is formed by ____ and ___
DCT and glomerular afferent arteriole
JGA regulates ___ and ____
BP and GFR
3 cell types in the JGA
- juxtaglomerular cells
- extraglomerular cells
- macula densa
juxtaglomerular cells are in the ___ and produce ____
afferent arteriole wall, produce renin
extraglomerular cells AKA
lacis cells
macula densa cells are in the ____
DCT
macula densa cells sense respond to ____ and…
INC NaCL, they vasodilate afferent arterioles and INC renal blood flow to maintain GFR
fx of glomerulus is
plasma filtration
____ brings blood into Bowmans capsule and goes out through the _____
AFFERENT brings blood in, EFFERENT out
the glomerulus contains a ____ ____
filtration barrier
___ and ____ cannot cross the barrier
cells and proteins
what 7 things are filtered in the glomerulus
- h20
- glucose
- electrolytes
- creatinine
- small peptides
- amino acids
- small chemicals
3 barriers to filtration in glomerulus
- endothelial cells
- GBM
- podocytes
endothelial cells have _____, small holes that allow plasma through but not protein/cells
fenestration
the GBM has a _____ that keeps ___ out
strong negative charge that keeps albumin out
the GBM is formed by
a matrix of proteins
___ is a disease that breaks down the GBM (loses neg charge and albumin is lost of urine, NOT normal)
DM
_____ like scleroderma causes changes in fenestration of endothelial cells
autoimmune diseases
podocytes are a cell unique to the
kidney
podocytes create a ____ formed by interdigitate interaction of adjacent podocytes
filtration slit
in minimal change disease ___ disappear
podocytes
mesangial cells are ____ in the filtration barrier of the glomerulus
support cells
net filtration pressure is ___ and favors…
12 mmHg and favors pushing plasma into filtration in bowman’s capsule
the ____ in the cortex is the major site of reabsorption
PCT
___ % Na, ___ % H2O, __ % bicarb, __ % of other electrolytes are reabsorbed in the PCT
60% Na, 70% H2O, 80% bicarb, 90% other electrolytes
type of cells in PCT
tubular epithelial cells
tubular epithelial cells have ___ and ___
brush border and mitochondria
the brush border
INC SA to touch as much filtrate as possible
the mitochonidria
provide energy for active transport of filtrate via transporter proteins
____ is death of the tubular epithelial cells which are susceptible to a lack of O2
ATN (acute tubular necrosis)
with dec blood vol, there is dec circulation to kidneys this cell dies first so you have problems with reabsorption
tubular epithelial cells
ATP independent processes - 3
symporters, channels, exchangers (depend on conc. gradient)
ATP dependent processes need
transporter proteins
the capacity of transporter proteins can be ___ and the function can be ____
capacity can be saturated, fx regulated
____, ____, ____ are absorbed in the PCT by transporter proteins (ATP dependent)
ions, glucose, AA
H2O is absorbed by ____ and ____
tight junction and water channel (aquaporin)
