Q

how is reabsorption achieved

A

Proximal convoluted tubule have microvilli - this is how most is reabsorbed.

  • Solutes are reabsorbed by both active and passive transport
  • Water follows by osmosis
  • Small proteins by pinocytosis

Q

passive transport

A
  • osmosis
    • obligatory water reabsorption
      • ​water is obliged to follow the solutes which are being reabsorbed
      • occurs in proximal convoluted tubule and descending limb of the loop of Henle
    • facultative water reabsorption
      • ​adapted to specific needs
      • occurs in the collecting duct

Q

facultative water reabosption controlled by

A
  • antidiuretic hormone
    • if more water is needed to be reabsorped by the body, ADH is released for insertion of aquaporins in the collecting duct

Q

how and where is sodium reabsorbed

A

Achieved by several mechanisms in the proximal convoluted tubule:

22
Q

What two regions can the descending and ascending loop of henle be divided in to

A
  • thick descending and thin descending
    • thin descending freely permeable to water
  • thick ascending and thin ascending
    • ascending permeable to sodium chloride
23
Q

water reabsorption in loop of henle

A
  • descending limb = 15%
  • ascending limb = little/no water reabsorbed
24
Q

reabsorption in early distal convoluted tubule

A
  • reabsorp of calcium under control of parathyroid hormone (PTH)
  • reabsorp of very little/no water
25
Q

late distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct reabsorp/secretions

A
  • water and solute reabsorp depend on bodys needs
    • eg ADH
26
Q

What cells compose the distal convoluted tubule DCT and collecting duct

A
  • principal cells
    • sodium reabsorption
      • sodium leakage channels or sodium potassium pump depending on side of cell
    • secretion of potassium via leakage channels
      • major source of potassium in urine
  • intercalated cells
    • Bicarbonate reabsorption which regulates body fluid pH
    • H secretion (H+ATPase pump) which can make urine more acidic than blood
27
Q

how is urine buffered

A
  • hydrogen phosphate and ammonia
  • this allows the body to excrete more hydrogen through the urine
28
Q

what 5 hormones regulate tubular reabsorption and secretion

A
  • angtiotensin 2
  • aldosterone
  • ADH (antidiuretic hormone)
  • atrial natriuetic peptide
  • parathyroid hormone
29
Q

angiotensin 2

A
  • increases reabsorption of sodium and water
    • -> increses blood volume and BP
  • Works on PCT (proximal convoluted tubule)
30
Q

aldosterone

A
  • increases secretion of potassium
  • increses reabsorp of sodium and chloride
    • this increases water reabsorp -> increasing blood volume and pressure
  • Acts on DCT and collecting duct
31
Q

atrial natriuretic peptide

A
  • incresaes excretion of sodium in urine
    • increases fluid loss and therefore urine output
    • lowers blood volume and BP
32
Q

parathyroid hormone

A
  • increases calcium reabsorp
33
Q

antidiuretic hormone (ADH)/ vasopressin

A
  • increases facultative reabsorption of water, decreasing osmolarity of body fluids
  • works on collecting duct
34
Q

how does ADH act and how is it regulated

A
  • ADH secretion leads to aquaporin-2 channels into the membrane allowing water molecules to move more rapidly
  • increased osmolarity of plasma = ADH secretion
    • principal cells more permeable to water increasing water reabsorption
35
Q

tubular reabsorption brings how much renal filtrate back into use

A

99%

36
Q

renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAS)

A
  • renin from kidney
    • converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1
  • ACE is released from lungs which converts angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2
    • angiotensin 2 stimulates release of aldosterone (also causes vasoconstriction)
  • = reabsorption of water and salt
