GFR =
120 ml / min
7.5 L / hr
180 L / day
Secretion is a __ pathway into the tubule
second (filtration is the first)
The secretory system that moves organic anions also moves ___
penicillin
as plasma levels go up, the amount secretes ____
increases to Tm
The ___ theory states that the movement of water is coupled to sodium transport
standing graident
The spaces between the lateral membranes are ___, __, and ___
long, narrow, and tortuous
As sodium is pumped into the intercellular spaces, the ____ ____ pulls waer crom the tubuler lumen thru the ___ ___ or through epitheleal cells
osmotic gradient
tight junctions
To be a true measure of GFR, compound must have what characteristics?
freely filterable, not reabsorbed, not secreted, not synthesized or metabolized by the tubules
Creatinine does not meet which criteria?
it is secreted by the tubules in small amounts. makes estimate slightly higher.
What meets all criteria to measure GFR?
inulin
volume of plasma from which the substance is completely cleared by the kidney per unit time
clearance: volume of plasma per time
To determine net secretion, compare what to what
clearance of substance to clearance of inulin (Cx / Cin)
Net secretion occurs when clearance is __ than that of inulin.
greater
Net reabsorption occurs when clearance is __ that of inulin.
less than
fraction of plasma entering the kidney in the renal artery that is filtered at the glomerulus
filtration fraction = GFR / RPF
What is the minimum amount of water required to remove the 600 mOsm of waste per day?
0.5 L / day
The mechanism responsible for production of concentrated urine utilizes the existence of a concentrated fluid located within the __ and is produced because of the characteristics of the ___
medullary interstitium
loop of henle
In the countercurrent multiplication system, the __ limb of the loop of Henle reabsorbs sodium by ___.
ascending, active transport
The permeability of water in the ascending loop of henle is ___
low - dilute tubular fluid is formed
Salt that is transported out of the ascending limb ___ the osmolarity of the medullary interstitium.
raises
the permeability of water is __ in the descending limb of the loop of henle
high
the maximum gradient that the cells of the loop of henle can sustain is ___
200 mOsm/l
term to describe flow in opposite directions
counter current
Two essential components in urine formation
active transport of sodium in the ascending limb, differnces in permeability between the ascending and descending limbs
the factor that ultimately determines the osmolarity of the urine is the
permeability of the collecting duct
water is osmotically withdrawn from the ___ into the medullary interstitium
collecting duct
hairpin-loop structure minizes losses of solute and water from interstitium but does not prevent ___ from interstitial fluid into the capillaries
bulk-flow
however much urea is produced is the amount ___
excreted
___ increases water reabsorption by the collecting duct
ADH
Synthesized in atrial cells and released in response to high BP
ANP
Antagonizes effects of Renin/AII and aldosterone
ANP
more potent than ANP, secreted by distal tubule and collecting duct, inhibits NaCl and water reabsorption
urodilantin
catecholamine that inhibits NaCl and water reabsorption in the proximal tubule
dopamine
4 routes of acid-base balance
including major and minor
1. Metabolic generation of H+ (major)
2. gastrointenstinal absorption of ingested acids or bases (minor)
A second source of H+ is from metabolism is the production of ___ or __
nonvolatile or fixed acids such as phosphoric, sulfuric, lactic, etc.
Vegetarian diets there may be a net metabolic production of ___
alkali
intestinal contents are acidic/alkaline
alkaline
losing bicarb is the exact equivalent as increasing ___ concentration
H+
Major extracellular system of regulating hydrogen ion balance is
CO2-HCO3 system
major intracelluar system to regulate hydrogen ion balance
phosphates and proteins
respiratory system is faster/slower than bicarb system
slower
Kidneys control HCO3- by variable __ of HCO3 and by adding new __ to the plasma flowing through the kidneys
reabsorption, HCO3. Both mechanisms are dependent on the tubular secretion of H+
H+ is secreted into the tubular lumen by ___ with Na+
countertransport
T/F The lumenal membrane of tubular cells is very permeable to HCO3
False, not very permeable
T/F Most of the H+ secreted into the lumen are not excreted in the urine
True, they are incorporated in water and reabsorbed.
T/F A large portion of the H+ can be carries as free ions
False
The HCO3 produced when each H+ is formed represents a __ bicarbonate ion and not one that was filtered
new
The more important buffer system
ammonia
Ammonia combines with __ to form ammonium, which are excreted from the urine
excess H+
The net effect of the ammonia buffer system is to __ the new HCO3 in extracellular fluid
