Q

Transcellular vs paracellular diffusion and pathway

A

Transcellular- through the cell membrane
Through luminal membrane-> cytosol-> basolateral membrane of tubule cell-> interstitial fluid -> endothelium of peritubular capillaries

Paracellular- between cells

  • between tubule cells
  • tight junctions, but can be leaky and ions can get through (Ca, Mg, K)
  • into PCT

Q

Four ways to transport

A

1) ATPase
- only in basolateral membrane
- Na/K (Na out, K in)

2) Cotransporter
- ions move in same direction

3) Countertransporter
- ions move in opposite direction

4) Channel
- water channel, sodium channel, potassium channel

Q

Transport Na (3 steps)

A

1) Na+ diffuses across luminal membrane (apical) via Na/K ATPase pump
2) Na+ diffuse across basolateral membrane
3) Na H20 reabsorved from interstitial fluid into peritubular capillaries by ultrafiltration (passive)

Q

Issues with Na+/H+ exchange (2)

5 step process of H+ ad HCO3

A
  • H+ outside=acidic
  • presence of carbonic anhydrase

1) Lumen: H+ + HCO3=> H2CO3
2) H2CO3 converted into CO2 + H2O via carbonic anhydrase
3) CO2 diffused into tubule cell cytosol (transcellular) + H2O => H2CO3 via carbonic anhydrase (splits into H and HCO3)
4) HCO3 into interstitial fluid then into blood
5) H+ recycles and helps process over again in lumen

Q

Chloride Reabsorption

- mechanism

A
  • PCT: H2O> Cl- reabsorbed more
    • more Cl- in in tubule
  • Drives Chloride movement passively=> paracellular pathway (down conc gradient)
  • chloride reclamation

Q
Paracellular Route (H2O)
- examples
A
  • depends on presence/absence of tight junction
  • thin descending limb : not a lot of tight junction => paracellular water movement occur freely
  • Thick ascending limb and Collecting duct : lots of tight junction => no paracellular water movement

Q

Descending Loop of Henle reabsorption

- what can get filtered

A
H2O permeable (25%)
NaCl IMPERMEABLE 

increase solute= increase tubular fluid concentration => osmolarity increase( hyperosmolar)

-passive

17
Q

Thin and thick ascending loop reabsorption

A

WATER IMPERMEABLE

- 75% of particles that enter are reabsorbed

18
Q

Na K 2Cl cotransporter

A

ALL INTO loop of henle
1 NA
1 K
2 Cl

19
Q

Countercurrent Multiplier (7 steps)

A

1) Fluid enter tubule
- Active transport Na, Cl, K into medullar interstitial fluid increases osmolarity

2) water moves out of descending limb by osmosis
3) iso-osmotic state in descending limb ; osmotic difference in descending and ascending limb

4) more fluid enter tubule, push fluid through bulk fow
- active transport of Na, Cl, K into medullary interstitial fluid increases osmolarity

5) water moves out of descending limb by osmosis
6) iso-osmotic state in descending; osmotic difference btw ascending and descending limbs
7) continuous process=> osmotic gradient

20
Q

  • normally reabsorbs
  • water
  • at DCT what is % of originally components
A

Water IMPERMEABLE

5-8% of filtered sodium chloride

at DCT
about 10% of NaCl and 25% of water originally remains

21
Q

Collecting Ducts

  • hormones
  • if no ADH, what happens
A
  • Aldosterone for NA
  • ADH for water
  • PTH for Ca2+
  • no ADH= water IMPERMEABLE
  • no Na leave body in urine
22
Q

Aldosterone goal

-location

A
  • on thick segment of LOH, DCT, CD (cortical)
  • retain NaCl and water
  • urine volume reduced
  • elevated K concentration

-increase Na+ reabsorption and K+ secretion

23
Q

  • Proximal Tubule
  • Loop of Henle
  • Distal Tubule
  • Late distal tubule and CD

24
Q
Inhibiting Transporters (3)
mechanism of action
effect
A

1) Thiazide Diuretics
Mode of Action: Inhibits the reabsorption of Na+ & Cl in the cortical diluting segment of DCT.
-increase Ca2+ reabsorption in the distal tubule. - Natriuresis and decrease blood volume and pressure.

2) Loop Diuretics (Furosemide)
Mechanism of Action: Inhibits Na-K-2Cl co-transporter in thick ascending limb of loop of Henle.
-decrease reabsorption of Na+ , K+ & Cl-
- Diuresis— increased urine output

3) K + Sparing Spironolactone
Mechanism of Action: Aldosterone-dependent potassium sparing
diuretics.
Inhibits Na+ /K+ exchange in distal tubule and collecting duct.
-Promotes K+ retention and Na+ and water loss. -Hypotensive effect

25
Q

Water Deficit on Urine Concentration

A

ADH secretion->increase h2o permeability in tubule-> increase osmolarity in medullary

  • gradient higher osmolarity in lower medulla
    (100 at distal and collecting tubule)
  • small volume of concentrated urine
  • reabsorbed h20 pick up by peritubular capillaried and conserved for body
26
Q

Water Excess on urine concentration

A

no ADH secretion=> water IMPERMEABLE-> fluid entering distal tubule hypotonic

Net result= large volume of diluted urine, get rid of excess h20
- no h2o reabsorbed in distal portion of nephron
