Q

Why does the medullary interstitium need to be hyperosmotic?

A

Since water is reabsorbed through the passive process of osmosis, it requires a gradient.
-> hyperosmotic conditions allows for water reabsorption to occur from the Loop of Henle and Collecting duct.

A

32

This is via Cl- HCO3- antiporter

33

34
Q

A

Renal regulation- urine production

35
Q

Explain how renal regulation works when you have a negative water balance?

A
  1. Low water intake
  2. Dec. ECF volume, Inc. [Na+], Inc. osmolality
  3. Hyperosmotic urine production
  4. Osmolarity normalises
36
Q

Describe the process of countercurrent multiplication

A

This is the process by which the interstitial medulla becomes hyperosmolar and creates a conc. gradient.

As salt and water moves from the thick ascending loop into the interstitial medulla it inc. the osmolality causing water to move from the thin decending loop into the interstitial medulla to equilibrate

After this repeats several times a conc. gradient is achieved

37
Q

What does UT-A1 fascilitate?

A

Urea moving from tubular fluid into collecting duct cells

38
Q

What does UT-B1 fascilitate?

A

Urea moving into vasa recta (blood)

39
Q

What is the mechanism of ADH?

A

ADH binds to V2 receptor which is coupled to a G protein
This activates adenylate cyclase which produces cAMP then protein kinase A
This leads to insertion of AQP2 on the apical membrane
This promotes reabsorption of water from the collecting duct into the blood via AQP3 and 4

40
Q

Describe how diuresis occurs along the entire nephron

A

At the PCT: 67% water reabsorption, 67% NaCl reabsorption
TDL of LOH: Isosmotic fluid enters. Impermeable to NaCl. Water passively reabsorbed .
ThinAL of LOH: Impermeable to water. NaCl passively reabsorbed.
ThickAL of LOH: NaCl actively reabsorbed. Hypoosmotic fluid
DCT: NaCl actively reabsorbed. Impermeable to water (AQP 2 absent)
CT: Hypoosmotic fluid. NaCl actively reabsorbed. Water reabsorbed

Hypoosmolar and watery urine

41
Q

How much bicarbonate is in the ECF and how do we maintain this amount?

A

ECF [HCO3-] = 350mEq or 24mEq/L

If we use this without replenishing it we would run out in 4-7 days and go into metabolic acidosis

42
Q

What equation represents metabolic acid neutralisation?

A

H2SO4 + 2NaHCO3 -> Na2SO4 + 2CO2 + H20

HCl + NaHCO3 -> NaCl + CO2 + H2O

43
Q

How much bicarbonate is reabsorbed around the nephron?

A

PCT: 80%
ThickAL of LOH: 10%
DCT: 6%
CT: 4%

44
Q

What equations are is used to calculate pH and [H+] from [HCO3-] and PCO2?

A

pH = pK’ + log (HCO3-/aPCO2)

[H+] = (24 x PCO2)/[HCO3-]

45
Q

How is HCO3- reabsorbed in the PCT?

A

H+ moved from cell into tubular fluid via Na+- H+ antiporter and via H+ ATPase pump

In tubular fluid: H+ + HCO3- -> H2O3- -> H20 + CO2 (via carbonic anhydrase)

CO2 enters cell by diffusion

In cell: H+ + HCO3- H20 + CO2 (via carbonic anhydrase)

On basolateral membrane: Na+- HCO3- symporter pumps bicarbonate into blood.
Na+/K+ ATPase also present

46
Q

How is new bicarbonate made in the PCT?

A

On apical side: Na+- H+ antiporter secrets urea into tubular fluid
NH3- Passively moves out
Na+ - H+ antiporter secretes H+ into tubular fluid

In tubular fluid: H+ + NH3 -> NH4+ (urea)

In cell: Glutamine -> 2NH4+ (secreted)
Glutamine -> A2- -> 2HCO3- (reabsorbed)

47
Q

How is new bicarbonate made in the DCT and CT?

A

On apical side: H+ ATPase pump secretes H+
H+ K+ ATPase secretes H+

In tubular fluid: H+ + HPO42- -> H2PO4- (phosphate buffer neutralises protons)

In cell: H+ + HCO3- H20 + CO2 (via carbonic anhydrase)

Basolateral side: Cl- - HCO3- antiporter (bicarbonate reabsorption) and Cl- channel

48
Q

What is the compensatory mechanism for respiratory acidosis?

A

Intracellular buffering to inc. bicarbonate reabsorption and production

49
Q

What is the compensatory mechanism for respiratory alkalosis?

A

Intracellular buffering to dec. bicarbonate reabsorption and production
