Q

why doesn’t osmolarity change very much?

A

diuresis-removal of water from the kidney

water moves between ICF and ECF to compensate. In the case of hydration, cells swell.

Q

What location is under hormone control for water reabsorption?

A
  1. Glomerulus=100mOsm/L
  2. PT
    1. reabsorbs large quantity of solutes and waer followed by osmosis leaving osmolarity unchanged
  3. tDLH
    1. highly permeable to water, only. interstitial oSm increases with increasing depth into medulla. Water responds by moving out of the tubule an dfiltrate equiliberates to outside oSm.
  4. TAL/early DT
    1. activly reabsorbs solute but is impermeable to water. Dropping oSm to 100osm/L
  5. late DT/CCT/CCD
    1. water permeability is hormonolly driviventhese section and in the most extreme diuresis highly limited yielding urine osmolarity down to 50mOsm/L

permeability differences assist with reabsorption of water

  1. tDLH
    1. permeable to only water
  2. tALH
    1. permeable ot solute bu not water
  3. TAL

A
  1. DLH/ALH
    1. 300mOsm/L
  2. tALH impermeable to water

single effect

  3. increases osmolarity to 400mOsm/L

multiplication of the “single effect” by counter current flow

  1. isosmotic fluid enters the top of the tDLH and equiliberates with the interstitium
    1. diminishes tha transepithelial gradient to 100mOsm/L
  2. hyperosmotic fluid flows into the bottom of the tALH
    1. no transepithelial gradient at this level

Q

what hormone plays a role in Urea reuptake? how?

A
  1. Na and Cl reabsorption drives medullary up to 600mOsm
  2. additional osmolarity increase comes from Urea
    1. urea is produced from amino acid catabolism by the liver
    2. Freely filtered
    3. passivly reabsorbed from CCT
  3. secretion of urea to reach higher concentrations in the tuble compared to the plasma
  4. ADH results in insertion of urea transporter in medullary collecting duct that facilitetes diffusion
  5. greater the concetration of urin=greater [urea] in filtrate in collecting tubules ->more urea that moves back in to the extracellular space and cycles back in the loop of henele
24
Q

  1. juxtamedullary nephrons loop of henle goes further into the medulla than the cortical ones.
  2. juxtamedullary nephron make a greater contribution to the intertitial gradient
  3. they both fuse to make a common collecting duct, allowing water to absorbed from both during anti-diuressi
27

28
Q

given the counter current arrangemtn of the vasa recta and the loop of henle, how does water get delivered to the restof the circulatory system?

A

starlings equation- increasing the amount of water interstitially leads to a greater pressure and the water goes into the capillary where it is taken up

osmolarity trapping is possible due to the architecture of the kidney:

  1. isolation from other structures
  2. low blood flow to the medulla
  3. counter current geometry
29
Q

Why doesnt the blood on the ascending side of the vasarecta wash out the graient generated by the interstitum?

A

osmolarity trapping is possible due to the architecture of the kidney:

  1. isolation from other structures
  2. low blood flow to the medulla
    1. flow in the vasa recta cannot be extreme and some of the solutes are recycled between descending and ascending limbs of the capillary loop
    2. in steady state condition, the gradient is stable and solute + water is continually drawn out of the medulla
  3. counter current geometry
