Renal Tubular Transport Mechanism II Flashcards
Where does the largest amount of Na+ get reabsorbed?
Proximal convoluted tubule (70%)
Why does Na+ osmolality stay the same along the proximal tubule?
Water follows it wherever it goes
What pumps Na+ at the basolateral membrane?
Na+/Cl- ATPase pump
How does Na+ enter the apical membrane?
Downhill gradient
What is important to note about water movement in the PCT?
Water is reabsorbed via osmosis through aquaporins, this causes an increase in solute concentrations left behind allowing them to be reabsorbed down their gradients
What various ions pass via paracellular route?
Cl-
Ca2+
K+
Urea
What pumps glucose in the apical membrane?
SGLT2
What pumps glucose in the basolateral membrane?
GLUT2
What pumps HCO3- in the basolateral membrane?
Na+/HCO3- cotransporter
What way can Na+ move across the apical membrane TAL?
Solute symporters
Na-H exchanger
Na+ paracellular movement
Transepithelial electrochemical driving force in proximal tubule S1 and S3:
S1: -3mV
S3: +3mV
(stronger movement back in S3)
What does CFEX pump do?
Pumps chlorine in and bases out across apical membrane to tubule lumen where they are protonated and brought back into the cell
What does KCC pump do?
K+ Cl- cotransporter
What type of transport takes place in the thin loops of Henle?
Paracellular Na+
Where are the NKCC2 channels found?
Thick ascending limb
