Renal - Part 2 Flashcards
- Normally what protein is found in the Urine?
None
- The first protein to appear in the Urine in a Kidney disease is?
Albumin
- Net filtration pressure that aids filtration at the Renal Corpuscle?
18 mm of Hg
- Is filtration an active or a passive movement?
Passive process that does not require any ATP
- What is the number of anastomosis in the Glomerulus?
Zero
- What percentage of the Filtrate will become Urine? 1000 ml of filtrate is formed, how much will eventually becomes urine?
10 ml. Correct answer is that only 1% of the filtrate becomes Urine.
- What happens to the 99% of the filtrate within the Nephron that does not become Urine?
It is reabsorbed by the Nephron into the Interstitial space and taken up by the capillaries that line alongside the Nephron (Peritubular network of capillaries)
- What hormone is primarily responsible for the reabsorption of Sodium?
Aldosterone
- Where is Aldosterone produced and secreted from?
Zona Glomerulosa of the Adrenal Cortex
- Who stimulates the Zona Glomerulosa?
Angiotensin 2
- How is Angiotensin 2 produced?
By the action of ACE (Angiotensin converting enzyme) on Angiotensin 1
- How is Angiotensin 1 produced?
By the action of Renin on Angiotensinogen
- Who produes Angiotensinogen?
Liver
- What hormone is responsible for the reabsorption of water from the Nephron?
ADH (antidiuretic hormone)
- Where is ADH produced?
Hypothalamus
- Where is ADh secreted from?
Posterior Pituitary gland
- What is excess of ADH termed?
SIADH
- In SIADH what will happen to the urinary output?
Less urinary output, more concentrated urine. Urine Specific gravity will be high
- What is lack of ADH termed?
Diabetes Insipidus
- In Diabetes Insipidus what will happen to the urinary output?
More urinary output, less concentrated urine. Urine Specific gravity will be low
- Can any substance be found in the Urine that is not filtered by the Nephron?
Yes by the process of Secretion
- What are the three zones observed in the cut section of the Kidney
a. Cortex (outer zone) b. Medulla (middle zone) c. Pelvis (inner most zone)
- What are the three major processes that are involved in the creation of Urine by the Nephron:
a. Filtration b. Reabsorption c. Secretion
- Counter current multiplier exchange mechanism happens at what location?
Loop of Henle.
- Where do I find the Vasa Recta?
Following the long loop of Henle of the Juxtamedullary nephrons
