Renal I Flashcards
Kidney pain, SNS, and PNS innervation
Pain T10-L1. SNS T8-L1. PNS via vagus, S2-4
%CO kidney receives
25%
Po2 cortex v medulla
50 v 10-20
Blood flow through nephron
Renal A- arcuate- interlobar- cortical radial a- afferrent arteriole- glomerular capillaries- 25% to Bowman’s capsule/rest—> efferent arteriole- peritubular capillaries or vasa recta - venous system
Vessels supplying cortical nephrons
Short loops of henle, efferent arterioles drain into peritubular capillaries
Vessels supplying juxtamedullary nephrons
Long henle, efferent arterioles drain into vasa recta
How glomerulus affects gfr q
Efferent constricts- gfr increases. Afferrent constricts- decreases
What is freely filtered vs excluded from glomerular diltrate
Free filter: h20, na, glucose, urea, cations. Exc: negative, hgb, albumin
Areas of high metabolic activity in renal tubule, implication
Proximal convuluted tubule, DCT, thick ascending limb of henle. All at risk for ischemia
Areas of h20 reabsorp, most to least
Proximal tubules 65%, loops of henle 15%, distal tubules and collecting ducts 10%
Proximal convoluted tubule: substances resorbed
65% of na/k/cl/h20. Glucose, lactate, aa, ca.
PCT: continuation of what, what secreted/exchanged here
Bowmans capsule, H sec for HCO3
Loop of henle: contin of, forms what
PCT, hypertonic fluid
Juxtaglomerular apparatus: what it contains, function
Macula densa- mesangial cells contract when exp to ang II- dec area of glomerulus. Granular cells sec renin w b1 stim- dec gfr w baroreceptor activ
DCT: what is resorbed here, under influence of what
Na/cl/h20, adh/app (v2) and aldosterone
DCT: secretes what
H ions and k
Collecting duct: reabsorbs what thru what, secrets what
H20 (adh), na/h20 in each for K. Secretes H ions/reabsorbs hco3
Two most imp parts of kidney for acid base balance
Late distal tubule and collecting duct
Three responses via hormones to hypovolemia
SNS/Ang II (dec gfr/inc na reabsorption). Aldosterone- inc na reabsorption. ADH- in h20 reabs in collecting duct
