SGLT2 reabsorbs _____ of glucose in early proximal tubule
90%
26
SGLT1 reabsorbs ___% of glucose in late proximal tubule
10%
27
SGLT2 reabsords 90% of glucose in
early proximal tubule
28
SGLT1 reabsorbs 10% of glucose in
late proximal tubule
29
Substances that are actively secreted into the renal tubules
Creatinine | Para-Aminohippuric acid
30
The limit to the rate at which the solute can be transported (transport maximum) is due to
saturation of a specific transport system
31
Transport max for glucose
375 mg/min
32
Filtered load for glucose
125 mg/min
33
GFR x plasma glucose=
125 ml/min x 1 mg/ml
34
Reasons that some passively reabsorbed substances do not have a transport maximum
- Rate of diffusion is determined by electrochemical gradient of the substance - Permeability of the membrane for the substance - Time that the fluid containing the substance remains within the tubule
35
Rate of transport depends on
-The electrochemical gradient - Time the substance is in the tubule - depends on tubular flow rate
36
Solvent drag
- passive water reabsorption by osmosis is coupled mainly to sodium reabsorption - Osmotic movement of water can also carry some solutes=solvent drag
37
What is the GFR (in liters/day) in average adult human
125 liters/day
38
Almost 90 percent of glucose reabsorption occurs in the early proximal tubule. by means of
secondary active transport via a sodium/ glucose cotransporter
39
The proximal tubule is highly ______ with large numbers of
Metabolic, mitochondria
40
Characteristics of the proximal tuble
- highly metabolic with large numbers of mitochondria - extensive brush borders on luminal surfaces - extensive intercellular and basal channels on interstitial surfaces
41
The proximal tubule reabsorbs
- 65 % of filtered sodium, chloride, bicarbonate and potassium - Reabsorbs all filtered glucose and amino acids
42
The proximal convoluted tubule adds what into the lumen tubular fluid
H+, organic acids, bases
43
As we go through the proximal convoluted tubule the ratio of tubular fluid/plasma concentration of sodium does what
it stays the same (about 1.0)
44
As we go through the proximal tubule the tubular fluid/plasma concentration of creatinine and urea does what
increases
45
The proximal tubule secretes what into the tubular lumen
organic acids bases hydrogen ions
46
in the first half of the proximal tubule sodium reabsorption is via
co-transport along with glucose, amino acids, and other solutes
47
In the second half of the proximal tubule sodium reabsorption is mainly due to
reabsorption with chloride ions
48
Sodium transport in the proximal tubule
- most sodium entry is via antiport with H+ - Na+ is pumped out of cell via Na+K+ ATPase pump - Electrical gradient - Cytoplasm= -70mV - Tubular lumen= -3 mV - Concentration gradient - Luminal Na+ concentration=14-mOsm - Cytoplasmic Na+ concentration= 30 mOsm
49
What is the proximal tubule luminal Na+ concentration
140mOsm
50
What is the proximal tubule cytoplasmic Na+ concentration
30 mOsm
51
hyrogen and bicarbonarte ions in the proximal tubule
- H+ increases in lumen due to antiport transport with Na+ - H+ combines with luminal bicarbonate - Forms carbonic acid - Carbonic anhydrase in lumen splits carbonic acid into carbon dioxide and water
52
For a substance to be reabsorbed, it must first be transported
- Across the tubular epithelial membranes into the renal interstitial fluid - Through the peritubular capillary membrane back into the blood
53
Carbon dioxide and water in the proximal tubule
- Carbon dioxide and water combine to form carbonic acid - Carbon acid dissociates to form bicarbonate ion and H+ - Bicarbonate ion diffuses out of cell into interstitial space - H+ removed form Cell via - antiproton with Na+ - H+ ATPase
54
The thin descending segment of the loop of Henle
- Highly permeable to water and moderately permeable to most solutes, including urea and sodium - Reabsorbs about 20% of filtered water
55
The thin ascending segment of the loop of Henle
impermeable to water
56
Thick ascending segment in loop of henle
- Na+ K+ ATPase pump in basolateral membranes - Drives reabsorption of K+ into cell against concentration gradient - Sodium, Potassium, Chloride co-transporter - Moves 1-Sodium, 2-Chloride, 1 potassium into cell - Slight back lead of K+ into lumen - Creates positive charge of +8mv - Forces Mg++ and Ca++ to diffuse through tubular lumen through paracellular space into interstitial fluid - impermeable to water - Site of action of powerful "loop" diuretics - Furosemide - Ethacrynic acid - Bumetanide
57
Powerful diuretics that work on thick ascending segment of the loop of Henle
- Furosemide - Ethacrynic acid - Bumetanide
58
Source of Aldosterone
Adrenal cortex
59
Function of Aldosterone
- increases sodium reabsorption and stimulates potassium secretion - stimulates Na+K+ATPase pump on basolateral side of cortical collecting tubule membrane
60
Aldosterone site of action
- Major site of action is on the principle cells of cortical collecting ducts
61
Stimulus for secretion of Aldosterone
- Increased extracellular potassium | - Increased levels of Angiotensin II
62
Absence of Aldosterone causes
- Addison's disease | - Results in marked loss of sodium and accumulation of potassium
63
Hypersecretion of Aldosterone is caused from
Conn's syndrome
64
Function of Angiotensin II
- Increased sodium and water reabsorption | - Returns blood pressure and extracellular volume toward normal
65
Effects of Angiotensin II
- Stimulates Aldosterone secretion - Constricts efferent arterioles - Directly stimulates sodium reabsorption in proximal tubules, loops of Henle, distal tubules, and collecting tubules
66
source of ADH
posterior pituitary
67
Function of ADH
Increases water reabsorption
68
Effects of ADH
- Binds to V2 receptors in late distal tubules, collecting tubules, and collecting ducts - increases formation of cAMP - Stimulates movement of aquaporin-2 proteins to luminal side of cell membrane (form cluster)

70
Function of Atrial natriuretic peptide
