Renal Lec 3 Flashcards
three basic renal processes in order
- glomerular filtration
- tubular secretion
- tubular reabsorption
amount excreted (equation)
amount filtered + amount secreted - amount reabsorbed
processes that favour entry into lumen of tubule
- filtration
- secretion
processes that favour exit from lumen of tubule
- reabsorption
- excretion of urine
glomerular filtration
filtration from blood vessels in bowman’s space
tubular secretion
secretion from blood vessels into tubule
tubular reabsorption
reabsorption into blood vessels from tubule
filtration layers in glomerular capillary
- fenestrated endothelial layer
- basement membrane
- podocytes with filtration slits
large proteins (like albumin) are held back because (3 reasons)
- pore sizes are small
- pores + BM are - charged, repels - charged proteins
- podocytes have semi porous membranes
semi porous membranes of podocytes have (types of transmembrane proteins)
- nephrins
- podocins
what passes through glomerulus? (9 things)
- water
- electrolytes
- glucose
- a.a
- fatty acids
- vitamins
- urea
- uric acid
- creatinine
what remains in glomerulus? (6)
- blood cells
- plasma proteins
- large anions
- protein bound minerals
- protein bound hormones
- most molecules greater than 8 nm in diameter
ultrafiltrate
most of the substance in plasma in filtrate
proteinuria
increased protein in urine
net glomerular filtration pressure amount
+16
forces favouring filtration
glomerular capillary blood pressure
forces opposing filtration
fluid pressure in bowman’s space
osmotic force due to protein in plasma
osmotic forces due to protein is bowman’s space is low because
concentration of protein in bowman’s space in so low
net glomerular filtration pressure equation
glomerular capillary blood pressure - fluid pressure in bowman’s space - osmotic force due to protein in plasma
GF pressure initiates urine formation by
forcing filtrate from plasma into bowman’s space
