Renal - Pt 2 Filtration Flashcards
Filtration Fraction: [] of [] [] [] filters into Bowman’s Space.
1/5 of Renal Plasma Flow filters into Bowman’s Space.
- Renal Plasma Flow: 20-25% of Cardiac Output [] going to the kidney
Fluid
What is the normal Renal Plasma Flow quantity?
625 mL/min
What is the normal GFR (Glomelular filtration Rate) quantity?
125 mL/min
What are the 3 main components to the filtration membrane…
- [] cells- contain intercellular clefts similar to those of systemic capillaries. May also have small []
- [] of the endothelial cells and podocytes
- [] extensions of the podocytes
- Endothelial cells- contain intercellular clefts similar to those of systemic capillaries. May also have small fenestrations
- Basement membranes of the endothelial cells and podocytes
- Interdigitating extensions of the podocytes
T/F
Even though the filtrations membrane of the Glomerulus has fenestrations, it is functionaly similar to those of Sinusoidal capillaries.
False
The filtration membranes have fenestrations, but with the fused basement membrane/podocytes…this membrane acts similar to systemic capillary membranes.
Podocytes encircle [] and act as the [] layer of Bowman’s Capsule
Podocytes encircle capillaries and act as the visceral layer of Bowman’s Capsule
What are the 3 pressures at the Glomerulus?
Glomerular Blood Hydrostatic Pressure - 45 mmHg
Capsular Hydrostatic Pressure - 10 mmHg
Blood Colloid Osmotic Pressure - 27 mmHg
- What glomerulus pressures promote filtration?
- What glomerulus pressures promote reabsorption?
- Glomerular blood hydrostatic Pressure
- Capsular Hydrostatic Pressue and Blood Colloid Osmotic Pressure
Net filtration in the glomeruli should always be a [] number and should always be “[].”
Net filtration in the glomeruli should always be a (+) number and should always be “net filtrating.”
Glomerular Filtration rate - amount of [] formed in all the renal corpuscles of both kdineys each minute
- []-[] mL/min
- More than []% reabsorbed.
Glomerular Filtration rate - amount of filtrate formed in all the renal corpuscles of both kdineys each minute
- 120-125 mL/min
- More than 99% reabsorbed.
In what 3 ways is glomerular filtration controlled?
- Renal Autoregulation
- Myogenic Mechanism
- Tubuloglomerular Feedback
- Neural Regulation
- Hormones
T/F
An abnormally low glomerular filtration rate could lead to dehydration?
FALSE
An abnormally low glomerular filtrations rate would probably lead to edema.
An abnormally high glomerular filtration rate would probably lead to dehydration
[] refers to the concept that the kidneys are able to maintain these values under changing conditions of [] [] pressures.
Autoregulation refers to the concept that the kidneys are able to maintain these values under changing conditions of entering arterial pressures.
T/F
The myogenic mechanism is a form of autoregulation?
TRUE
