Q

Describe the function of NKCC Channel in the TAL

A

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

ENaC

29
Q

What hormone increases the amount of ENaC and Na/K ATPase in the CT

A

Aldosterone

30
Q

1) Describe how Principal Cells and B-intercalated cells secrete K+

A

2) Passive diffusion of K out of cell into tubular lumen via ROMK

31
Q

Describe how a-intercalated cells reabsorb K+

A

1) H-K ATPase moves K into the cells from the tubular lumen
2) K+ diffuses across the basolateral membrane through K channels

A

Osmoreceptors in the Hypothalamus and Liver

38
Q

Where does ADH increase water permeability?
