Q

What is secondary active transport?

A

Where primary active transport creates a concentration difference which drives apical Na uptake and other stubatances are aborbed alongside

Q

What is the action of aldosterone?

A

To reabsorb sodium, acting via the distal tubule on basolateral Na K ATPase and collecting duct via apical ENaC
As sodium is retained, water follows, increasing blood volume

Q

How does aldosterone affect potassium levels?

A

Potassium is in equilibrium with sodium, so as sodium is retained, potassium will be lost and vice versa

Q

What is the action of atrial natriuretic peptide>

A

An increase in blood volume means increased stretch of arterial walls and ANP is released from atria. This decreases reabsorption of sodium from tubules and increases excretion to allow blood volume to normalise.

16
Q

What is molality?

A

Number of moles per kg of solvent

17
Q

What is oncotic pressure?

A

The proportion of the total osmotic pressure in plasma exerted by colloids

18
Q

Explain hypotonic

A

When the solute potential is higher inside the cell than outside so water moves into the cell down the osmotic gradient

19
Q

What is an osmole?

A

The number of ions into which a solute dissociates in solution

20
Q

What is tonicity?

A

effective osmolality, equal to the sum of the concentration of the solutes which have the capacity to exert an osmotic force across the membrane

21
Q

What is the effect of hypertonic cystalline fluid?

A

ISF expanded, ICV decreased, PV transient expansion

22
Q

What are juxtamedullary nephrons?

A

Nephrons positioned deeper in the medulla

23
Q

What areas of the nephron are permeable to urea?

A

Proximal tubule, inner medullary portion of collecting duct

24
Q

How is thirst sensed?

A

Osmoreceptors in hypothalamus

25
Q

What is the difference between AQP1 and AQP2?

A

AQP1 is in apical membrane of PT and descending loop of henle
AQP2 is in collecting duct, ADH responsive

26
Q

What is the glomerular filtration rate?

A

Volume of fluid filtered from the glomerular capillaries intot the Bowman’s capsule per unit time

27
Q

What determines hydrostatis pressure?

A

Cardiac output, afferent and efferent arterioles, concentration of plasma proteins

28
Q

What is usually used to mark clearance?

A

Creatinine

29
Q

How does the body secrete H+?

A

Na/H exchange in the proximal tubules, active H+ ATPase pump in the collecting tubules, bound to buffers (phosphate, ammonia)

30
Q

Where does bicarbonate reabsorption occur?

A

Mostly in proximal tubule

31
Q

How does increased PCO2 affect H+ secretion?

A

It will increase H+ secretion and HCO3 reabsorption

32
Q

What controls K+ movement into a cell?

A

Insulin, aldosterone, beta-adrenergic receptors, alkalaemia

33
Q

What moves K+ across the membrane?

A

Na+K+ATPase

34
Q

What term describes excretion of urine by fish?

A

Ammonotelic

35
Q

what are granular casts?

A

Degenerate cellular casts- implies longer stasis
Precipitates protein
Degenerate epithelial cells
