Renal Review PPT-josh Flashcards
there are 2 kidneys with how many regions?
2
What are the 2 regions?
Cortex
Medulla
what is the functional unit of the kidney?
Nephron
What are 3 improtant functions of the nephron?
Hold filtrate
Excrete end products of metabolism
Absorb Important sunstances
The kidney gets what % of CO?
20-25%
how many mLs of blood does the kidney receive?
1100-1200 mL
what part of the kidney receives the most blood?
Cortex
The renal artery divides at the __1__, into several lobar arteries, they run b/t the __2__ of the medulla and turn into the __3__ then into __4__ and to the __5__.
- hilus
- pyramids
- interlobular arteries
- afferent arterioles
- glomerulus
Unfiiltered blood exits the kidney via what, to the venous system?
efferent arteriole
filtered blood goes where?
back to the body
waste is excreted from the kidneys as what?
urine
renal blood flow if determined by the ________ ______ ______ across the vascular bed
arteriovenous pressure difference
what is the formula to calculate renal blood flow?
Renal blood flow = (MAP - VP) x VR
- MAP- mean arterial pressure
- VP- venous pressure
- VR- vascular resistance
Renal blood flow is regulated by what 2 ways?
intrinsic autoregulation
Neural regulation
Autoregulation of the kidneys is with a MAP of what?
75-160mmHg
w/ neural regulation afferent and efferent arterioles are inervated by the SNS, stimulation of which is associated w/ what? and thus should be avoided
vasoconstriction
4 main functions of the kidney?
- maintenance of ECF composition
- Maintenance of ECF volume
- Endocrine functions
- Regulation of Arterial BP
Fx of the Kidneys:
what is maintained in the maintenance of ECF composition?
- Ionic composition (electrolytes)
- Osmolality (Na+ comcentration
- Conservation of non-ionic components (glucose, amino acids, proteins, water, vitamins)
- Excretion of products of metabolism (urea, creatine, lactic acid, uric acid)
Fx of the Kidneys:
how does the kidney perform maintenance of ECF volume
regulation of Na+ and h2o excretion
Fx of the Kidneys:
what endocrine fx does the kidneys perform?
- erythropoietin
- RAAS
- Vit D
What are the main structures of teh nephron? do it in order as if you were fluid going through it!
- arteriole from renal artery
- Bowman’s capsule
- Glomerulus
- Proximal tubule
- Loop of henle
- Distal tubule
- Collecting ducts
What structures are in teh Cortex and what structures are in the Medulla?
- Cortex
- Renal corpuscle (bowmans capsule)
- proximal tubule
- Distal tubule
- Medulla
- Loop of henle
- Collecting duct
What are the 3 steps of Urine formation and excretion
Glomerular filtration
Tubular reabsorption
Tubular secretion
Glomerular Filtration:
GFR get what % of RBF?
20% (125mL/min)
Glomerular Filtration:
the GFR is regulated by what?
Juxtaglomerular complex
Glomerular Filtration:
What 3 things can increase GFR?
- Increased RBF
- Dilation of Afferent arteriole
- Increased resistance inefferent arteriole
Glomerular Filtration:
what 2 things can decrease GFR?
- afferent arteriole constriction
- Efferent arteriole dilation
What reabsorbs the bulk of the glomerlar filtrate?
Proximal tubule
what iare the main function of the Loop of henle?
- establishes and maintains an osmotic gradient in the medulla of the kidney
- regulation of water balance
- Concentration/dilution of urine
The descending loop is highly permeable to ________ but impermeable to ______
Water
Solutes
The ascending loop is nearly impermeable to _____, but highly permeable to ___ and ____
water
Na+ and Cl-
The ECF is controlled by what hormone?
Aldosterone
