Q

large proteins (like albumin) are held back because (3 reasons)

A
  • pore sizes are small
  • pores + BM are - charged, repels - charged proteins
  • podocytes have semi porous membranes

Q

volume excreted out of body

A

<1%

23
Q

volume that is reabsorbed

A

19%

24
Q

volume that continues onto the efferent arteriole

A

80%

25
Q

glomerular filtration rate (GFR) - (def.)

A

volume of fluid filtered from the glomerulus into the bowman’s space per unit time

26
Q

GFR amount (mL/min, L/day), in 70 kg man

A
  • 125 mL/min

- 180 L/day

27
Q

high GFR allows plasma to be

A

filtered around 60 times a day

28
Q

4 factors affecting GFR

A
  • net glomerular filtration pressure
  • permeability of corpuscular membrane
  • surface area available for filtration
  • neural and endocrine control
29
Q

factors affecting GFR that are (somewhat) fixed

A
  • permeability of corpuscular membrane

- surface area available for filtration

30
Q

mesangial cell (def.)

A

-specialized cells in glomerulus that are not part of the filtration layers or juxtaglomerular apparatus

31
Q

contraction of mesangial cell (do what?)

A

reduce surface area of glomerular capillaries, decreasing GFR

32
Q

juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) two types of cells

A
  • macula densa

- juxtaglomerular cells

33
Q

macula densa (def.)

A

cells on the wall of the distal tubule

34
Q

macula densa can sense

A

increased fluid flow through distal tubule through Na+/ Cl- concentration

35
Q

macula densa secretes

A

vasoactive compounds (ex. adenosine)

36
Q

macula densa paracrine effect changes

A

afferent arteriolar resistance by signalling to JG cells

37
Q

juxtaglomerular cells (other name)

A

granular cells

38
Q

juxtaglomerular cells are on (location)

A

the wall of the afferent arteriole

39
Q

juxtaglomerular cells control

A

renin release based on sodium concentration

40
Q

GFR- large changes in arterial pressure or renal blood flow

A

GFR remains fairly constant

41
Q

autoregulation of GFR occurs by

A

changing renal blood vessel resistance to compensate for changes in blood pressure

42
Q

myogenic (def.)

A

how arteries and arterioles react to an increase or decrease of blood pressure to keep the blood flow constant within the blood vessel

43
Q

changes in renal blood vessel resistance mechanism

A

tubuloglomerular feedback effect –> myogenic response of afferent arteriole

44
Q

tubuloglomerular feedback effect- role of JGA

A
  • increased tubular flow causes constriction of afferent arteriole to reduce GFR
  • regulated` by paracrine actine on JGA
  • paracrine control of afferent arteriole resistance
45
Q

blood pressure range for autoregulation of glomerular filtration

A

wide (80-180 mmHg)

46
Q

increased resistance in afferent arteriole

A

decreased GFR

47
Q

increased resistance in efferent arteriole

A

increased GFR

48
Q

decreased resistance in efferent arteriole

A

decreased GFR

49
Q

decreased resistance in afferent arteriole

A

increased GFR

50
Q

adenosine causes

A

vasoconstriction of afferent arteriole

51
Q

filtered load

A

total amount of non-protein or non-protein bound substance filtered into bowman’s space

52
Q

filtered load (equation)

A

filtered load = GFR x [substance in plasma]

53
Q

substance excreted in urine < filtered load

A

reabsorption has occurred

54
Q

substance excreted in urine > filtered load

A

secretion has occurred
