Renal System Flashcards
1st step in urine formation
Glomerular filtration
Formula for urinary excretion rate
Filtration rate - reabsorption rate + secretion rate
Endothelium lining, basement membrane, epithelial cell layer surr outer surface of BM, glomerular pump. Which is not part of the glomerular capillary membrane?
glomerular pump
Glomerular capillary membrane has negative charge so negatively charged proteins can pass.true or false?
False. Protein cannot pass bec similar charge
Glomerular hydrostatic pressure pushes water __ while Bowman’s capsule hydrostatic pressure pushes water ___ (in, out)
Out, in
Glomerular colloid osmotic pressure: how does it affect water?
Prevents fluid exit bec colloid attracts fluid. Water does not leave glomerulus
Bowman’s capsule oncotic pressure: effect on water
Gets water out bec proteins attract water
Net filtration pressure must be ___ (+ or -) for water to go out
Positive
Maintenance of relatively stable GFR over wide range of blood pressures, within kidney
Autoregulation
The following contribute to autoregulation of glomerular filtration except (myogenic reflex,conditioning of glomerular capillary membrane, tubuloglomerular feedback, angiotensin-II mediated vasoconstriction)
conditioning of glomerular capillary membrane
Myogenic reflex and tubuloglomerular feedback affect __ arteriole while angiotensin-II mediated vasoconstriction affects __ arteriole (afferent, efferent)
Afferent, efferent
Myogenic reflex
⬆️BP: __ afferent arteriole
⬇️BP: __ afferent arteriole
(Dilate, constrict)
Constrict, dilate
Purpose of myogenic reflex toward afferent arteriole
Protect arteriole fr sudden Systolic BP spikes
Tubuloglomerular feedback toward aff.arteriole mediated by ___
Macula densa
Macula densa: part of ___ of loop of Henle
Thick ascending limb
What kind of receptor is macula densa?
Osmoreceptor (to solute conc, tubular fluid flow)
⬆️tubular flow rates, ___ solute delivery to macula densa, __filtration pressure
⬆Then⬇️
During increased NaCl reabsorption, what does macula densa produce!
ATP
Adenosine
Adenosine is a potent vasoconstrictor.true or false?
True
Converts angiotensiongen to angiotensin
Renin
Converts angiotensin-I to angiotensin-II
Angiotensin-converting enzyme
Why is renin released?
Low RBF
Effect of angiotensin II on efferent arteriole
Vasoconstriction
Effect of vasoconstriction of efferent arteriole on glomerular hydrostatic levels
Increase
This forms occlusive barrier separating lumen of tubule from interstitial spaces surrrounding the tubule
Tight junction
___ membrane: facing tubular lumen
___ membrane: facing interstitium
Apical
Basolateral
Epithelial solute transport described as Movement of fluid or solute sequentially across apical and basolateral membrane via transporter,channel,pump
Cellular transport
Epithelial solute transport described as mvmt thru narrow passageway bet adj cells
Paracellular transport
2 types of tight junctions
Leaky epithelia. And tight epithelia
False of leaky epithelia
A.found in collecting duct
B.wellsuited for bulk fluid reabsorption
C.allows robust paracellular transport
A.found in collecting duct
Leaky epithelia found at PCT
False of tight epithelia
A.found in collecting duct
B.with more tight junctions
C.allows robust paracellular transport
Tight epithelia: more refined control and regulation of transport… So therefore:
C.allows robust paracellular transport
[membrane transport] which is properly matched?
I.active transport:channel
II.passive transport:transporter
III.facilitated diffusion:pump
IV.secondary active transport:co-transporter
IV. Bec
I.active transport:pump
II.passive transport:channel
III.facilitated diffusion:transporter
They couple the mvmt of an ion down electrochem gradient to uphill of another ion/molecule against conc or electrochem gradient
Co-transporters
(Nephron)
Where does most of the reabsorption happen?
pct
What steers bulk fluid reabsorption?
Low hydrostatic P and high oncotic P at peritubular capillaries
what is aquaporin-1
Active water channel at both apical and basolateral membranes, involved at water reabsorption
Leaky epithelia are involved in both water and solute reabsorption,true or false!
True
Solute reabsorption partnered with __ concentration thru activity of __
Na
