Q

Filtration process

A

blood flow through glomerulus
water, ions, and waste gets collected by bowman’s capsule then directed through the tubles

17
Q

BP in glomerulus?

A

55 mmhg

18
Q

Afferent Arteriole supplies glomerulus with?

A

blood

19
Q

Efferent Arteriole collects bood from?

A

Glomerulus

20
Q

Fenestrations

A

opening/holes in glomerulus

21
Q

Podocytes

A

covers the holes in glomerulus to control leaks

22
Q

Bowman’s capsule

A

surrounds glomerulus and collects waste

23
Q

where does the waste in bowman’s capsule go?

A

Proximal convoluted tubule

24
Q

first and major site of reabsorption

A

Proximal convoluted tubule

25
Q

what percentage of sodium and water are absorbed by PCT?

A

65%

26
Q

Loop of Henle

A

receives filtrate from PCT and has 2 parts

27
Q

Descending loop of henle

A

reabsorbs 25% of initial filtered water
carries filtrate towards medulla of the kidney

28
Q

Ascending loop of henle

A

reabsorbs 25% of sodium and chloride
impermeable to water

29
Q

have short loop of henle

A

cortical nephrons (85%)

30
Q

Have long loops of henle and absorbs more water

A

juxtamedullary nephrons (15%)

31
Q

reabsorption at DCT and Collecting duct are controlled by?

A

Aldosterone and ADH hormone

32
Q

normal glomerular filtration rate(GFR)

A

120-125ml/min

33
Q

How is GFR estimated?

A

by measuring blood creatine since it can be filtered but not reabsorbed

34
Q

% of water normally reabsorbed?

A

99%

35
Q

obligatory reabsorption happens?

A

in the PCT and descending loop of henle

36
Q

examples of secretion

A

Urea to filtration
H+ and HCO3+ to control blood pH
lipid soluble drugs

37
Q

Aldosterone promotes reabsorption of?

A

Na+ (Sodium)

38
Q

water follow sodium due to?

A

Osmosis

39
Q

lack of aldosterone causes

A

water loss

40
Q

Aquaporins

A

special protein channel for water reabsorption inserted in collecting duct caused by ADH

41
Q

High ADH promotes

A

water retention
increase BV and BP
less urine but more concentrated

42
Q

Low ADH promotes

A

water loss
lowers BV and BP
cause more and diluted urine
