Q

When does uptake of phosphate happen in cells and why?

Q

What happens to phosphate when calcium is released from bone?

A

phosphate is also released

24
Q

how much phosphate present in plasma is filtered?

A

around 90% - not much protein binding of phosphate

25
Q

Phosphate is actively reabsorbed by?

A

proximal tubule ( Co transport with Na+ which​ is regulated by PTH)

26
Q

phosphate overflow process:

A
  1. Phosphate filtered by the ​glomerulus
  2. reabsorbed by proximal tubule via co-transport
  3. some escapes from reabsorption (overflow) and is excreted
27
Q

What does the rate of phosphate secretion depend on?

A
  1. depends on GFR
  2. It is proportional​ to plasma phosphate
  3. phosphate transporter salurate
28
Q

Where will you see phosphate present in urine:

A

in normal circumstances

29
Q

Excess PTH = __ phosphate

A

less phosphate

30
Q

lack of PTH = __ phosphate

A

more phosphate

31
Q

Is a major INTERCELLULAR cation?

A

magnesium

32
Q

Where is the majority of magnesium present?

A

bone matrix

33
Q

regulation of Mg:

A

not understood

34
Q

Is a major site of Mg absorption​?

A

thick ascending​ loop o

35
Q

___ can increase Mg excretion?

A

Aldosterone

36
Q

hormones involved in calcium balance?

A
  • PTH
  • Active Vitamin D3
  • Calcitonin –> produced by c-cells in thyroid gland
37
Q

hormones involved in phosphate balance?

A
  • FGF-23
  • Hormones regulating calcium also affect phosphate
38
Q

PTH secretion is regulated by?

A

ionized calcium

39
Q

inhibit PTH (negative feedback)

A
  • vitamin D3
  • FGF-23
  • severe hypomagnesium
40
Q

Effects of PTH:

A
  • stimulates Ca2+ and phosphate from bone
  • promotes renal reabsorption of Ca2+ from the distal tubule
  • Promotes renal excretion of phosphate
  • stimulates synthesis of active Vitamin D3- 1,25
  • promotes Mg absorption from loop
41
Q

Whemn PTH is reduced ___ returns calcium to bone?

A

1,25 D3

42
Q

PTH: Bone

A

stimulates release pf Ca and phosphate from bone to ECF

43
Q

PTH: Kidney

A
  • promotes phosphate excretion via urine
  • makes more 1, 25 Vitamin D3
  • reabsorb calcium
44
Q

PTH: ECF

A
  • v1, 25 D3 increases absorption of Ca and phosphate from gut
