Renal Transport Mechanisims Flashcards
What are the two types of transport and define them
Trans-epithelial transport - through the membrane
Paraepithelial transport - through the TJ
What does the PCT absorb most
Glucose 100% AA 100% Urea 50% Na 70% K 70% Phosphate 70% Ca 70%
H2O 70%
What does the PST absorb most
Phsophate
What does the TDLoH absorb
WATER
What does the ThALoH absorb
SOLUTES ONLY!
Na
K
Ca
Mg
What does the DCT and CD absorb
Fine tunes the urine, can absorb or not absorb water or solutes
Where is most of the water REBS in the nephron
In the PCT
What pump powers the REBS of the Na in the PCT
The Na/K Pump
Define symporter
Facilitated transport of two or more solutes in the same direction
Define antiporter
Movement of two solutes in opposite directions
Pushes one down its gradient and one up its gradient with the use of ATP
What does the Na/K Pump create within the cell
A low intracellular Na concentration, thus allowing for Na to move down its gradient
A negative apical side charge which attracts the Na to it
transcellular route Transport across the basolateral membrane involves what and why
The lateral intracellular spaces which receive ions as well as the IF
How does water move in the PCT through the cells
Through the TJ
Na REBS is almost always an active transport where
The transcellular route
While the NHE3 moves Na with active transport, how does Na enter the cells with passive transport, and why
Enters via Na leak channels
Using the same reasons as the NHE3, low intracellular Na bc of Na/K Pump
With the Na being transported into the cell, what else will come with it
Water
How does the water and Na enter the peritubular capillary
Via ultrafiltration, a passive process driven by hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressure
