The renal system has two arterials in — and two vascular beds in —

Total renal resistance is the sum of
afferent and efferent arteriolar resistances
Step 1 and Step 2
Step 1: filtration
Step 2: Reabsorbtion
Plasma filtration at the glomerulus; essential for
essential for filtration of toxic metabolites
Reabsorption of essential solutes into in the —
peritubular capillaries

125mL/min to 180L/day
how many times per day is the entire ECF filtered
> 10x
Peritubular reabsorption
As the tubules resorb solutes, including Na+, glucose and amino
acids, they accumulate in the peritubular interstitial space. From this interstitial space the solutes have to re-enter the peritubular capillaries for return to the
circulation.
steps in Na reabsorption from urine to the blood
3
Step 1 in Na+ reabsorption from the urine to blood
Na+ crosses the lipid bilayer at the brush border by cotransport or antiport
Step 2 in Na+ reabsorption from the urine to blood
Na+ exits the cell at the basolateral border via the Na+,K+ ATPase
Step 3 in Na+ reabsorption from the urine to blood
Once Na (and water) is in the interstitial space it can be absorbed from interstitium into blood with fluid following the balance of Starling forces or can back-leak (4)
Glomerular filtration depends on balance of
hydrostatic and oncotic pressures
The hydrostatic (capillary pressure) is dependent on — and the — around the capillaries.
