Renal Function (Lect 2) Flashcards
Define tubular reabsorbtion
take materials out of urine and back into the blood stream (ex NA/H2O)
Define tubular secretion
atsbu
active transport secreted from blood into urine
What are the 4 parts of the urinary system and what do they do?
kidneys: urine is formed from filtrate
uteres: carries urine to bladder
bladder: stores urine
urethra: excretion
What are the primary functions of the kidney?
removal of waste products (nitrogenous)
Acid base balance
retention of essential nutrients
hormone production
water electrolyte balance
prod. of Vit D
What is the functional unit of the kidney? what does it do?
nephron, filters blood and creates urine reabs/excret
T/F there is 1-1.5 mil nephrons in each kidney
true
What are the two types of nephrons?
Cortical nephron (renal cortex)
(85%)
Juxtamedullary nephrons
long loops of henely
(inc urine concent)
Describe the Afferent pathway movement of urine
blood enters, golmerulous (first filter) - bowmans capsule, proximal tubule, henleys loop
Describe the Efferent pathway of exit
peritubular is the exit
Function of the kidney is controlled by?
b
gf
r/s
renal blood flow
golmerular filtrate
tubular reabsorption
tubular secretion
Briefly describe renal blood flow
renal artery supplies blood to kidney
25% of blood leaving left ventricle of heart enters the kidney
600mil/min renal plasma flow
What is similar in both the afferent and efferent pathway? what can they both do?
both change size/hydrostatic pressure
Describe the golmerulus
how many lobes
inside of
what kind of filter?
sizes?
permeablility?
8 capillary lobes
inside bowmans capsule
non-slective filter of plasma
less than 70,000 da
VERY PERMEABLE TO WATER
Describe the bowmans capsule
beninning of the renal tubular
bowmans space - capsule/golmerulous
Describe the tubules
re-absorption in proximal convuluted tubule
final adjustment in distal tubule
describe the loop of henley
what isnt in the ascending loop?
the major exchange of H2O/salt
no water reabsorp in acsending loop becuase it is impermeable
What are some factors that influence filtration?
cell wall structure
hydrostatic/oncotic pressure
RAAS
What are the three layers of the golmerulous
cw
b
v
(p/f)
capillary wall membrane
(fenstrated/permeability)
basement membrane
visceral epithelium
(podocytes,filter slit)
