Q

What is the function of the intercalated cells?

94
Q

What are the three steps that fluid takes as it goes through the nephron?

A
  1. Glomerular filtration
  2. Tubualr reabsorption
  3. Tubular secretion
95
Q

True or false?

Volume of fluid filtered by the renal corpuscle is much lesser than other capillaries

A

False; Volume of fluid filtered by the renal corpuscle is much greater than other capillaries

96
Q

What allows the glomerulus to filter so much fluid?

A
  1. Large surface area
  2. Thin and purous filtration membrane
  3. High glomerular blood pressure
97
Q

What controls the surface area in the glomerulus?

A

Mesangial cells

98
Q

When the mesangial cells are relaxed; what does this indicate about the surface area and filtration?

A

Maximal surface area and filtration occuring

99
Q

When the mesangial cells are contracted; what does that indicate about the surface area and filtration?

A

Minimal filtration and surface area occuring

100
Q

How wide is the filtration membrane in the renal glomerulus?

101
Q

True or false?

The glomerulus is 50 times less leaky than other capillaries.

A

False; 50 times more

102
Q

What happens during tubular reabsorption?

A

Water, ions and other substances get reabsorbed from the renal tubule lumen into the peritubular capillaries and ultimetly into the blood.

103
Q

What happens during tubular secretion?

A

Wastes, drugs and excess ions get secrted from peritubular capp. into the renal tubule. These substances ultimetly make their way into the urine.

104
Q

Where is tubular reabsorption and secretion occuring?

A

In the renal tubule and collecting duct

105
Q

True or false?

The pores of the glomerular cells alllow components of blood plasma to pass through.

A

True; just not blood cells themselves

106
Q

How do you calculate net filtration pressure (NFP)?

A

GBHP-CHP-BCOP=10

107
Q

What is glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure?

GBHP

A

Most responsible for the formation of filtrate and forces water and solutes through the filtration membrane

108
Q

What is the pressure in the glomerulus? Why is there so much pressure?

A

55mmHg-because the afferent arteriole is larger than the efferent arteriole

109
Q

What is capsular hydrostatic pressure?

CHP

A

The back pressure exerted by fluids already in the capsular space as the fluid is being pushed out of the glomerulus

110
Q

What is the capsular hydrostatic pressure?

111
Q

What is blood colliod osmotic pressure?

BCOP

A

The presenece of protiens in the blood that cannot pass through the membrane, and the final result is it tries to pull water into the blood stream

112
Q

What is the blood colloid osmotic pressure?

113
Q

If the GBHP is below 40 mmHg, what will occur?

A

NO FITLRATION

114
Q

If the afferent arteriole dialates, what will occur to NFP?

A

A greater NFP will occur

115
Q

If the efferent arteriole constricts, what will occur with the NFP?

A

A greater NFP will occur

116
Q

What is glomerular filtration rate?

A

The amount of filtrate formed by both kidneys each minute that measures how well the kidneys are working

117
Q

What is the average glomerular filtration rate in both males and females?

A

Males: 125 mL/min
Females: 105 mL/min

118
Q

How many L of fluid are filtered out by the kidneys in an average male per day?

A

DO MATH EQUATION
180L of fluid filtered out by kidneys per day in an avereage male

119
Q

Can we measure Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)

A
  1. Adjusting the blood flow into and out of the glomerulus
  2. Altering the glomerular capillary surface area avalible for filtration
125
Q

If the GFR is too high, what does that mean?

Needed substances are lost within the urine since they have been filtered out into the bowmans capsule (i.e. protiens make thier way into urine)

126

133
Q

What are the 2 mechanisms of autoregualation?

A
  1. Myogenic mechanism
  2. Tubuloglomerular feedback
134
Q

What is the myogenic mechanism?

Myogenic=muscle

A

If blood ressure rises, stretch receptors trigger the smooth muscle cells to constrict in the afferent arterioles and blood pressure drops.

The opposite occurs when blood pressure is too low

135
Q

What is tubuloglomerular feedback?

A

The macula densa provides feedback to the glomerulus by detecting increases in Na+Cl and inhibits the relase of nitric oxide from cells in the juxtaglomerular apparatus and thus causes constriction of the afferent arterioles.

136
Q

If there is increased Na+Cl within the glomerulus, why is this a bad thing?

A

Because that means there is less time for reabsorption

137
Q

Nitric oxide causes vasodilation.

138
Q

True or false?

Tubuloglomerular feedback is much slower than the myogenic mechanism.

140
Q

ANS nerves

141
Q

What does sympathetic nerve stimulation cause in the afferent and efferent arterioles?

A

Causes vasoconstriction

142
Q

When blood pressure drops due to hemorrhage or severe dehydration, what does neural regulation do?

A

Neural regulation causes both the afferent and efferent arterioles to constrict, decreasing renal blood flow, GFR, + urine output, thus permting greater blood flow to the heart and brain

143
Q

What 2 hormones are in charge of hormonal regulation?

A
  1. Angiotensin ll
  2. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
144
