renal reabsorption Flashcards
how much ultra filtrate do we typically produce a day
180 Litters
contains a lot of water that must be modified or we would loose important substances
what is contained in the water that we must modify
important minerals, bicarbonate, glucose and electrolytes
reabsorption
returns substances in ultra filtrate back to circulation
secretory mechanisms
remove substances from the blood and add it to the urine
which capillary bed is responsible for secretion and reabsorption
pertiubular capillaries
protein net transport
stays within the vasculature
insulin net transport
within the vasculature and the nephron (without crossing from nephron back to vasculature )
sodium net transport
within the vasculature and the nephron (crossing from nephron back to vasculature , some sodium remains in nephron)
glucose net transport
within the vasculature and the nephron (crossing from nephron back to vasculature, no glucose is normally excreted in urine )
what is PAH
Parahippurate an organic anion
Parahippurate net transport
within the vasculature and the nephron (remaining PAH in the vasculature secreted to the the nephron to be excreted in urine )
organic bases net transport
within the vasculature and the nephron (crossing from nephron back to vasculature , some organic bases are excreted in urine )
what is the most important function of the kidneys
reabsorption of sodium
wherever sodium goes
water follows
amount of NA+ in the ECF determines
the ECF volume, which then determines plasma volume, blood volume and thus blood pressure
how much sodium do we excrete in urine
less than 1%
where are the two places in which we reabsorb the most sodium
the proximal convoluted tubule (67%) and the thick ascending limp of Henle (25%)
why is the lumen of the early proximal tubule negative
results from the net positive charge (na +) moving into the cell of the early proximal tubule from the lumen where if leaves behind its negative charge
why vessel forms the vasa recta
the efferent arterioles
what does the proximal convoluted tubule reabsorb?
Na+, Cl-, K+, glucose, amino acids, urea, bicarbonate and water
what is reabsorbed in the descending loop of Henle
water
what is reabsorbed in the ascending loop of Henle
sodium chloride and potassium
what does the distal convoluted tubule reabsorb?
sodium chloride calcium potassium magnesium and bicarbonate
what does the collecting duct reabsorb?
sodium chloride urea and water
Na + and water play a key role in
regulating blood pressure
