Q

role of nervous system (2 parts) in micturition

A
  1. parasympathetic nervous system: contracts detrusor muscle, relaxes internal urtheral sphincter

Q

micturition: involuntary reflex

A
  1. urine fills the bladder and stretches its wall
  2. stretch receptors send a signal via sensory afferent fibers from the sacral portion of the spinal cord
  3. parasympathetic efferent fibers stimulate detrusor muscle to contract and the internal urethral sphincter to relax causing micturition

Q

micturition: voluntary control from CNS

A
  1. interneurons in the spinal cord commincate the “full bladder” signal to the micturition center of the pons
  2. if micturition is appropriate, the cerebral cortex facilitates this process and allows external sphincter to relax: urine is voided.

  4. bicarbonate ions
  5. H2O
37
Q

obligatory reabsorption:

A

reabsorption of water in proximal tubule
65% of water filtered

38

A

ATP

39
Q

reabsorption moves water and solutes from…

A

filtrate to blood

40
Q

if there was no reabsorption in the proximal tubule which valuable substance would be lost

a. hydrogen ions
b. nitrogenous waste
c. glucose
d. drugs

A

c. glucose

41
Q

what percent of glucose is reabsorbed?

A

100%

42
Q

reabsorption in which substances pass between adjacent tubular cells is called:

A

paracellular route

43
Q

where does most of the reabsorption of water, nutrients, electrolytes, and bicarbonate ion occur?

A

proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)

44
Q

PCT cells are the most active reabsorbers because

A

lined with simple cuboidal epithelium that has extensive microvilli on its apical border and many mitochondria
reabsorbs all glucose and amino acids, 65% of water and electrolytes mostly by nephron loop.
(rest of renal tube also reabsorbs but less so)

45
Q

the process of reabsorption returns substances to which structure(s)?

A

peritubular capillaries and vasa recta

46
Q

water reabsorption is always:

A

a passive process.
follows solutes by osmosis, and can. use transcellular or paracellular route.

47
Q

aquaporins:

A

transmembrane proteins, act as water channels that allow water passage across the epithelial cell plasma membrane.

48
Q

why would bicarbonate (HCO3) be reabsorbed?

A

the body needs it to help control pH.
when bicarbonate ion is reabsorbed, hydrogen ion (H+) is secreted into the filtrate.

49
Q

these nephrons are responsible for establishing the medullary osmotic gradient.

A

juxtamedullary nephrons
because long nephron loops extend into medulla and are surrounded by vasa recta

50
Q

countercurrent exchanger:

A

vasa recta

51
Q

counter current exchange and multiplier between vasa recta and nephron loop achieves 2 main tasks:

A
  1. water reabsorption (between 15-25% of the remaining water)
  2. create and maintain medullary concentration gradient
52
Q

the. thick ascending limb of the nephron loop is permeable to

A

ions such as Na and Cl.
(contains active transport pumps for these ions and is NOT permeable to water)

53
Q

what is the consequence of the selective reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the ascending loop of Henle?

A

an osmotic gradient is established in the kidney medulla

54
Q

osmolarity at deepest part of the medulla?

A

1200 mOsm

55
Q

osmolarity at the borderof the cortical-medullary border?

A

300 mOsm

56
Q

the thin ascending limb of the nephron loop is permeable to

A

water
NOT salt or other solutes

57
Q

as filtrate moves down the descending limb of the nephron loop:

A

its concentration increases.

(filtrate loses water but not solutes)

58
Q

why does water leave the kidney tubule as the filtrate travels down the thin descending loop of Henle?

A

because of the osmotic gradient in the interstitium of the medulla

59
Q

in which part of the nephron will the filtrate have the highest solute concentration (i.e. highest osmolarity?)

A

at the hairpin turn of the nephron loop

60
Q

what drives the activity of the Na-Cl pumps in the ascending limb of the loop?

A

the high concentration of the filtrate

61
Q

if the filtrate concentration is lower than normal at the turn of the nephron loop:

A

active transport in the thick ascending limb will be less efficient.

62
Q

countercurrent multiplier:

A

creates the medullary osmotic gradient
refers to the actions of the nephron loop.

NaCl reabsorption in ascending lim promotes water absorption in the descending limb, in turn makes it easier for NaCl to be reabsorbed in ascending limb by pumps.

POSITIVE FEEDBACK LOOP

63
Q

what is the purpose of the countercurrent exchange performed by the vasa recta?

A

it maintains the medullary osmotic gradient

countercurrent: flows in the opposite direction.
blood flows in opposite directions within neighboring, parallel capillaries.
exchange: salts being exchanged for water

64
Q

the distal tubule is a site for

A

reabsorption and secretion

65
Q

what is diuresis?

A

the loss of water in urine

66
Q

what control water reabsorption in the distal tubule?

A

hormones

67
Q

what 2 hormones increase reabsorption of water in the distal tubule and collecting ducts?

A

anti-diurectic hormone (ADH) and aldosterone

68
Q

ADH increases water reabsorption by:

A

stimulating the insertion of aquaporins into the plasma membranes of the medullary collecting duct epithelial cells.

69
Q

which of the following hormones causes sodium reabsorption in the distal tubule?

A

aldosterone

( and K secretion)

70
Q

which would be a potassium sparing durg?
water lose and decrease potassium in kidneys.

A

a drug that blocks the effect of aldosterone

71
Q

which hormone conserves water by causing aquaporins to be inserted in the epitheleal cells of the collecting ducts?

A

ADH

72
Q

what is the medullary concentration (osmotic) gradient?

A

the deeper you go in the medulla, the higher the concentration of salts or ions

73
Q

an increase in urine volume is usually accompanied by _____ in urine concentration

A

a decrease

more water but same amount of solute so concentration will decrease

74
Q

if there was no medullary concentration ;(osmotic) gradient the kidneys would produce

A

large amount of dilute urine

75
Q

what if ADH is not present?

A

a large amount of dilute urine is formed

76
Q

furosemide “loop dieretics” inhibit pump for the active reabsorption of Na and Cl. what happens to urine?

A

large amount of urine produced

77
Q

list the structures in order : urine passing through as it is excreted:

A

collecting duct, minor calyx, major calyx, renal pelvis, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra

78
Q

which of the following promotes the formation fo dilute urine:

A

decreased osmolarity of extracellular fluids

79
Q

where is the vasa recta blood osmolarity the highest?

A

deep in the medulla

(at the hairpin turn)

80
Q

ultrfiltrate (filtrate) formed in glomerulus:

A

produced in the renal corpuscle of the nephron
similar to blood plasma (no proteins)
has the same osmolarity as blood plasma

81
Q

how is the PCT different than the DCT

A

Water reabsorption always happens in the proximal convoluted tubule (it is obligatory) but it is regulated in the distal convoluted tubule.
