Q

At the Thick Ascending limb, once K+ is in the cell, what are its 2 options?

A
  1. Leave the cell through a channel at the basolateral border and be reabsorbed
  2. Back leak through a ROMK channel at the apical border and re-enter the tubule lumen

11
Q

NKCC2 pumps K+ inside the cell from the tubule lumen. ROMK can take K+ from inside the cell and put it back into the tubule lumen. What builds in the tubule lumen if ROMK does this?

A

K+ = POSITIVE CHARGES

12
Q

As ROMK pumps more K+ back into the tubule lumen, the (+) charges increase. What does this cause?

A

Mg and Ca to be repelled out of the tubule lumen!!

- They diffuse paracellularly and are reabsorbed!

Q

How are Mg2+ and Ca2+ reabsorbed at the Thick Ascending Limb?

A

Via Paracellular (btwn cells) diffusion caused by repelling the build up of K+ charges inside the tubule lumen due to ROMK on the apical border!

23
Q

What do the Beta - Intercalated cells at the Distal Tubule SECRETE?

24
Q

Through what transporter on the apical surface do Principal Cells REABSORB Na+?

25
Q

What hormone acts on ENaC transporters of Prinicipal cells?

A

Aldosterone!!

Causes more Na+ reabsorption

26
Q

Where are principal cells, alpha and beta intercalated cells?

A

Distal Tubule

27
Q

What are the effects Aldosterone has on Principal cells in the Distal Tubule?

A

INCREASES ENaC transporters for Na+ reabsorption into the cell on the apical border
INCREASES Na+/K+ ATPase for Na+ reabsorption on the basolateral border
== INCREASED Na+ reabsorption and K+ secretion!

28
Q

This cell in the Distal Tubule reabsorbs Na+ and water, and it secretes K+

A

Principal cells

A

Alpha - intercalated cells

30
Q

This cell in the Distal Tubule reabsorbs H+ and Cl- and secretes HCO3- and K+

A

Beta - intercalated cells

31
Q

What transporter allows for alpha and beta - intercalated cells to exchange K+ and H+?

A

H - K ATPase

32

Where is TRPV5?

A

Distal Convoluted Tubule apical border

35
Q

At the Distal Convoluted Tubule, what transporter on the apical side takes Na and Cl into the cell?
