Test 4 review sheet Flashcards
difference betwen a cortical nephron and juxtamedullary nephron
cortical has shorter loop of henley. Juxtamedullary has a longer one which allows for more production of concentrated urine.
What makes up the filtration membrane
- simple squamous epithelial cells of the capillaries of the glomerulus 2. basement membrane 3. podocytes
Which pressure forces fluid out of the glomerulus
hydrostatic pressure
which pressure forces fluid IN the glomerulus
blood colloidal osmotic pressure AND the hydrostatic pressure in the capsular space
what is a counter current?
fluid moving in parallel tubes in opposite direction with exchange between the tubes
where would you find a counter current?
Loop of henley and vasa recta
why is loop of henley called a counter current multiplier?
Because it uses active transport to reabsorb sodium and chloride
What would happen if you constrict the afferent artery into the glomerulus?
Less blood flow, less pressure and less GFR
What would happen if you dilate the afferent artery into the glomerulus?
More blood flow, increase blood pressure and more GFR
What would happen if you constrict the efferent artery into the glomerulus?
Higher blood pressure and higher GFR because the blood back up.
What would happen if you dilate the efferent artery into the glomerulus?
less blood pressure and less GFR because the blood can pass more easily.
There is a direct relationship between blood hydrostatic pressure and
GFR - Glomerular filtration rate
If you increase blood pressure you will increase
GFR
If you increase blood pressure you will increase _________ and make more ________
GFR, Filtrate
Which arteriole has a larger lumen?
afferent.
Why does efferent artery have a smaller lumen?
to keep blood pressure in the glomerulus high so more GFR can occur
Why does blood pressure in the glomerulus need to be high
so more GFR and more filtrate can happen
What binds to water channels that line the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting duct and will increase the number of open water channels
ADH - antidiarretic hormone
increased water channels will do what?
increase water reabsorption back into the blood
what will increase open water channels, decrease the osmolarity, increase blood volume and allow you to make small amounts of concentrated urine?
ADH
ADH and Aldosterone will both cause the body to make
small volumes of concentrated urine because you reabsorbed the salt so you make less sodium.
ADH is secreted from the
posterior pituitary gland
They hypothalamus causes the posterior pituitary gland to increase the release of
ADH
ADH will be released when there is ______ ________ in the extracellular fluid
high osmolarity
ADH is a _______ that works fast
protein
Secretion of ADH is controlled by what two types of receptors?
osmoreceptors and baroreceptors
aldosterone is secreted from the
adrenal cortex
aldosterone is secreted when
there is low extracellular sodium and high extracellular potassium.
Aldosterone travels to the kidneys it is a
steroid hormone or lipid
what does adlosterone do
increases the number sodium or chloride transport proteins.
normally there is high _____ inside the cell and high________ outside the cell
potassium, sodium
What causes more water reabsorption back into the blood when osmolarity is sensed by the hypothalumus?
ADH
Why will ADH cause you to make small volumes of urine?
because ADH promotes reabsorption of water back into the blood.
Aldosterone is secreted from the adrenal cortex in response to
low extracellular sodium and high extracellular potassium
Aldosterone travels to the kidneys to increase the number of
sodium and chloride transport proteins
aldosterone will help increase the absorption of what?
sodium and chloride which will bring more water. water follows sodium. Blood volume will increase
To remove the excess potassium in the extracellular fluid, aldosterone will
secrete it right into the urine bypasses filtration.
aldosterone and ADH will both cause the body to produce
small volumes of concentrated urine because you have reabsorbed the salt and water so you make less sodium.
When would there typically be low extracellular sodium
trauma or injury to the cells
low blood flow and low blood pressure will trigger the glumerular cells to secrete _____
renin.
What will change angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1?
Renin
Are angiotensinogen and angiotensin 1 active or inactive?
inactive
How does angiotensin 1 make angiotensin 2
travels to the lungs where it is cut into angio2 by ACE.
