Renal Transport Mechanisms Flashcards
What is reabsorption powered by?
the Na-K-ATPase
what are the symporters associated with Na+?
glucose, amino acids, Pi, and HCO3-
what are the antiporters associated with Na+?
H+ and organic solutes
How does Na+ cross the basolateral border?
via the Na-K-ATPase
what transporter does the Na-glucose use on the apical membrane in the PCT?
the SGLT
what transporter/exchanger does the H+/Na+ use on the apical membrane in the PCT?
the NHE
what transporter does glucose use on the basolateral membrane?
GLUT
How is water reabsorbed transcellularly in the PCT?
via AQP channels
how is water reabsorbed paracellularly in the PCT?
passively
where does most reabsorption of Mg2+ take place?
in the TAL
What is present on the apical membrane of the TAL?
NKCC2 and ROMK channels
How does Na get out of the TAL cells?
through the Na-K-ATPase
how does Cl- get out of the TAL cells?
through a Cl- channel
how does K+ get out of the TAL cell?
either through a K+ channel on the basolateral membrane or through the ROMK channel that is on the apical membrane and back into the tubular lumen
What is the result of the K+ being secreted back into the tubular lumen of the TAL through the ROMK?
there will be a + charge build up in the TAL especially as we ascend
