Topic 1 Part A Flashcards
Excretion= [formula]
Filtration–Reabsorption + Secretion
Filtration occurs in the
glomerulus
Reabsorption and secretion occur in the
Proximal tubule
loop of Henle;
distal tubule
collecting tubule
Filtration rate= [formula]
GFR x Plasma concentration
- -Glucose concentration = 1 g/L
- -GFR = 180 L/day
- -Filtration rate = (1 g/L) x ( 180 L/day) = 180 g/day
Kidneys has independent control over
exertion rate by changing appropriate reabsorption rate
Tubular Reabsorption-Mechanisms (4)
- From tubular lumen into tubular cells
- From tubular lumen into tubular interstitial space
- From interior of cell into tubular interstitial space
- From interstitial space into peritubular capillary
From tubular lumen into tubular cells is a
transcellular path
From tubular lumen into tubular interstitial space is a
paracellular path
From interstitial space into peritubular capillary is driven by
capillary filtration forces [bulk flow]–net movement into the capillaries
Tubular Reabsorption–Mechanisms (A): involves both
active and passive mechanisms
Tubular Reabsorption–Mechanisms (A): primary active transport (4)
Na-K ATPase
Hydrogen ATPase
H-K ATPase
Ca ATPase
Tubular Reabsorption–Mechanisms (A): Secondary active transport/co-transport (2)
Sodium-glucose
Sodium-amino acids
Tubular Reabsorption–Mechanisms (B): Secondary active/co-transport (1)
Sodium-hydrogen
Tubular Reabsorption–Mechanisms (B): Pinocytosis (requires energy) =
Proteins–once in cell broken down to component amino acids and amino acids reabsorbed
Tubular Reabsorption–Mechanisms (B): Passive (2)
Osmotic movement of water
Bulk flow into peritubular capillaries

Sodium Reabsorption (A): Sodium pumped out of tubular cells into the interstitial spaces and then…
Potassium pumped into tubular cells
- -Na-K ATPase on basolateral sides of tubular epithelial cells
- -Creates membrane potential-70 mV
Sodium Reabsorption (A): Sodium follows concentration gradient from tubular lumen into the
tubular cells (diffusion down concentration & electrical gradients) --Brush board of proximal tubule luminal membrane creates huge surface area for diffusion (20x increase)
Sodium Reabsorption (B): Sodium reabsorption also enhanced by
carrier proteins through luminal membrane
–Co-transport & counter-transport proteins
Sodium Reabsorption (B): Sodium quickly moves (along with water) from interstitial fluid into
peritubular capillary
Glucose Reabsorption (A): Co-transport mechanism tied to sodium gradient from \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ to \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ --So efficient that usually removes all filtered \_\_\_\_\_\_
Co-transport mechanism tied to sodium gradient from tubular lumen to interior of tubular cells
–So efficient that usually removes all filtered
glucose
