Renal Transport Mechanisms Flashcards
Describe the Proximal Tubule Absorption
1) All Glucose and Amino Acids
2) Most other filtered substances should be resorbed here
How is Na+ Reabsorbed into the blood after entering the Cell?
Na+/K+ Pump
How does Na+ cross tthe cells apical border in the Proximal Tubule?
1) Na/H+ Exchanger
2) SGLT symporter
How does Glucose get resorbed from the basolateral membrane
1) GLUT
How is water resorbed?
Bulk Flow
How does H20 enter cells?
AQP channels
Decreased ECV will cause h20 to be ____
resorbed
Increased ECV will cause h2o to ____
Not be reabsorbed
Can H20 be reasorbed in the TAL?
NO; TAL is impermable to H2O
Which ion gets reabsorbed the most in the TAL?
Mg2+
TAL is a important site for resorption of ____ ___ ___ ____
N, K, Ca, Mg
Describe the function of NKCC Channel in the TAL
1) Sympoter of 2Cl-, K, Na into the cell
2) Na+ and Cl- can then get reabsorbed into the blood
3) K+ can either get reabsorbed or it can be secreted back into the tubule lumen via ROMK
4) If secreted it will cause increased + charge which leads to increased charge
5) Drives Na+, Ca2+, K+ and Mg2+ to be transported via paracellularly
ROMK is located on the ___ membrane
Basolateral
Which area of the nephron will reabsorb the least amount of solutes?
Distal Tubule
What cell types are present in the Distal Tubule?
Alpha - intercalated cells
Beta-intercalated cells
Principal Cels
Which hormones are involved with the distal tubule
1) Aldosterone
2) ADH
What is the most important site of regulation of the Nephron?
Distal Tubule
What do principal cells reabsorb and secrete?
1) Reabsorb: Na+ and H20
2) Secrete: K+
What do alpha intercalated cells reabsorb and secrete?
1) K+ and HCO3-
2) H+
What do B-intercalated cells reabsorb and secrete?
1) H+ and Cl-
2) K+ and HCO3-
Which part of the Distal Tubule is relatively impermeable to water?
Distal Convolulted Tubule
With in the DCT NaCL is transported into the cell via
NCC channel
