Q

how does K+ get out of the TAL cell?

A

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

Q

What is the result of the K+ being secreted back into the tubular lumen of the TAL through the ROMK?

A

there will be a + charge build up in the TAL especially as we ascend

16
Q

what does the buildup of the positive charge in the TAL cause?

A

Ca2+ and Mg2+ will squeeze out through paracellular diffusion

17
Q

what is the most important site for regulation of the nephron?

A

the distal tubule

18
Q

what are the cell types involved in the distal tubule?

A

principal cells, alpha-intercalated cells, and beta-intercalated cells

19
Q

What do the principal cells reabsorb?

A

Na+ and H2O

20
Q

what do the principal cells secrete?

A

K+

21
Q

what do the alpha intercalated cells reabsorb?

A

K+ and HCO3-

22
Q

what do the alpha intercalated cells secrete?

A

H+

23
Q

what do the beta intercalated cells reabsorb?

A

H+ and Cl-

24
Q

what do the beta intercalated cells secrete?

A

K+ and HCO3-

25
Q

What is the concentration of the tubular fluid in the DCT?

A

since the DCT is impermeable to H2O and NaCl is continuing to be reabsorbed, the tubular fluid in the DCT becomes diluted

26
Q

how does NaCl cross the apical membrane in the DCT?

A

via the Na-Cl-cotransporter (NCC)

27
Q

What is the NCC sensitive to?

A

thiazide

28
Q

How does Ca2+ cross the apical border in the DCT?

A

via the TRPV5 channel

29
Q

How does Ca2+ cross the basolateral membrane in the DCT?

A

via the Na-Ca exchanger (NCE)

30
Q

where are the principal cells located?

A

in the late distal tubule and collecting ducts

31
Q

What is located on the apical membrane of the principal cell of the late distal tubule/collecting duct/ how is Na+ reabsorbed in the principal cells?

A

via the ENaC

32
Q

What is located on the apical membrane of the principal cell of the late distal tubule/collecting duct that helps with K+ secretion?

A

an ROMK channel

33
Q

What effect does aldosterone have on the principal cells?

A

aldosterone is going to increase the expression of the ENaC and Na-K-ATPase, which increases Na+ reabsorption and increases K+ secretion

34
Q

How is K+ secreted in the principal cells and beta-intercalated cells?

A

passive diffusion out of the cell into the tubular lumen or through ROMK channels or BK channels

35
Q

how do alpha-intercalated cells reabsorb K+?

A

through a H-K-ATPase on the apical membrane to get into the cell and then it passively diffuses across the basolateral membrane
