19
Q

what is the PCT made of?

A

Simple columnar

20
Q

How does the PCT move particles?

A

by gradient

21
Q

What does the reabsorbed particles in the PCT enter

A

peritubular capillaries ( particles are isosmotic)

22
Q

How are proteins leaking into filtrate taken back up?

A

pinocytosis at base of microvilli

23
Q

hydroxylase reaction creates:

A

Vitamin d2 and D3

24
Q

PCT reabsorps:

A

AA’s, GLu, Po4, small protein-hormones and water into peritubule capillaries

25
Q

PCT Secretes:

A

organic acids and basesi nto filtrate, along with biles salts, creatine, anitbodies.

26
Q

Prostaglandins act on:

A

distal tubule

27
Q

where is EPO released?

A

From fibroblastic interstitial cells in the cortex

28
Q

What do the PCT contain a lot of ?

A

numerous mitchondria and microvilli

29
Q

Where are Medullary rays found?

A

Cortex

30
Q

What do Medullary rays contain

A

proximal straight tubules and distal tubeles

31
Q

TAL is water_____

A

impermeable, fluid exiting medulla is hypotonic

32
Q

Ions pumped out of fluid of TAL, making the medulla

A

salty

33
Q

where are diuretics targeted?

A

TAL

34
Q

What do loop diuretics inhibit

A

Na, K, Cl co transporter

35
Q

In cortical nephron, efferent arteriole supples

A

peritublular capillaries

36
Q

Juxtamedullary nephron, the efferent arteriole supplies

A

vasa recta

37
Q

DCT are major target of

A

aldosterone

38
Q

DCT resorbs

A

Ca2+ and NaCl

39
Q

how Aldosterone recovers Na from CT and CD

A
  1. opens apical sodium channels
  2. Increase Na, K-ATPase in basolateral membranes
  3. Na, K-ATPase automatically pumps sodium out
40
Q

Where is ADH made

A

hypothalamus (stored in pars nervosa

41
Q

Low ADH =

A

dilute urine

42
Q

High ADH =

A

concentrated urine

43
Q

What is Renin

A

a protease that converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I in the blood

44
Q

How does Angiotensin II increase blood pressure?

A
  1. release aldosterone, increase blood volume

2. Constricts arterioles, immediately increase blood pressure

45
Q

what makes EPO

A

fibroblast
