renal section Flashcards
what type of bio transformations is the kidney capable of
phase 1 and 2
lungs excrete _______ acids and kidneys excrete ________ acids
lungs: volatile
kidneys: non volatile
when is EPO released via the kidney
when theres inadequate O2 delivery to kidney (anemia, reduced intravascular volume, hypoxia)
what stimulates erythrocyte production
EPO stimulates stem cells in bone marrow
what effect does PGE1 and PGE2 have on renal arterioles
vasodilation
what effect does thromboxane A2 have on renal arterioles
constriction
role of calcitrol with kidneys
- stimulates absorption of calcium from food
- instructs kidneys to reduce calcium and phosphate excretion
- increase deposition of calcium into bone
increased PTH _____’s calcitrol
increases
kidneys can synthesize _______ from amino acids
glucose
the kidneys receive _____ of CO (________mL/min_
20-25% (1000-1250mL/min)
How much of blood is filtered at glomerulus
20%
how much blood is reabsorbed in peritubular capillaries
99%
renal blood flow equation =
(MAP - renal venous pressure) / renal vascular resistance
how does blood flow through the kidney?
renal arteries -> renal segmental artery -> interlobular artery -> articulate artery -> interlobular artery -> afferent arterioles -> glomerular capillary bed -> efferent arterioles -> peritubular capillaries (reabsorption and secretion) -> venues -> interlobular vein ->arcuate vein -> interloper vein -> renal segmental vein
renal autoregulation includes
myogenic mechanism
JG apparatus
tubuloglomerular feedback
RAAS
prostaglandins
ANS
SNS
lower chloride concentration in ultrafiltrate does what
triggers renin release to activate RAAS
role of A2 and increase in GFR
constricts efferent arterioles
go over RAAS pathway
angiotensin–>(renin) angiotensin 1–> (ACE) angiotensin 2
5 roles of angiotensin 2
vasoconstriction (peripheral vessels and efferent arteriole)
increased aldosterone release from adrenal gland
SNS activation
increased ADH release from posterior ptuitary
increased thirst
where is aldosterone produced
zona glomerulosa of adrenal gland
what does aldosterone stimulate in kidney
Na/K/ATPase in principal cells of distal tubules and collecting ducts. H2O reabsorption and K/H excretion occurs
what two electrolyte changes increase aldosterone release
increased K or decreased Na
what is addisons
adrenocortical insufficiency (destruction of all cortical zones)
what stimulates ADH release
increased osmolarity of ECF. increased sodium shrinks osmoreceptors in hypothalamus. initiates transport of ADH from hypothalamus to posterior pituitary.
increased BV via unloading of baroreceptors in carotid sinuses, transverse aortic arch, great veins, right atrium
how doe ADH restore BP
stimulates V1 (vasoconstriction, increase in IP3, DAG, Ca2+), increases SVR
stimulates V2 in collecting duct (increased cAMP), aquaporin 1 channels inserted into walls of collecting ducts, H2O reabsorption, decreased plasma osmolarity, increased urine osmolarity.
net result= expansion in plasma volume
where are prostaglandins produced
afferent arterioles
arachidonic acid is liberated from cell membrane in response to
ischemia, HoTN, NE, AT2
how does NSAIDs decrease RBF
inhibiting production of vasodilation prostaglandins
endotoxins release ________, which leads to renal vasoconstriction
leukotriene production
what does the myocardium release in response to distention
ANP and BNP
what is the role of natriuretic peptides
inhibit renin release (negative feedback for RAAS) vasodilation and decreased BP.
promotes Na/H2O excretion into collecting ducts
where are dopamine 1 receptors found
kidneys and splanchnic circulation
second messenger and function of DA1 receptors
cAMP (increased),
vasodilator, increase RBF, increases GFR, diuresis, Na excretion
where are dopamine 2 receptors found
present on presynaptic adrenergic nerve terminal
second messenger and function of DA2 receptors
cAMP (decreased),
function, decreases NE release
what is freely filtered at the glomerulus
water, electrolytes, glucose
what determines glomerular hydrostatic pressure
- arterial BP
- afferent arteriole resistance
- efferent arteriole resistance
reabsorption in kidneys
substance transferred from tubule to peritubular capillaries
secretion in the kidneys
substance transferred from peritubular capillaries to tubule
what is excretion in the kidneys
substance removed from body in urine
what is the proximal convoluted tubule responsible for
bulk reabsorption of solutes and water
-water follows Na here via osmosis
-K/Cl/HCO3- follow Na in direct proportion
-organic bases, acids, and hydrogen ions are secreted into proximal tubule via Na counter transport mechanism
what percent of ions are absorbed in proximal tubule
65%
what is the primary role of the descending loop of henle
countercurrent mechanisms and high permeability to H2O
-primary function is to form concentrated or dilute urine.
-separates handling of Na/H2O
- theres an osmotic gradient, highly permeable to H2O and moderately permeable to ions
vasa recta
peritubular capillaries that run parallel to the loop of hence. returns reabsorbed water to the blood allowing osmolarity in peritubular insterstitium to remain high
