What hormones affect transport in the collecting tubules and ducts
"ADH, Aldosterone, and ANP"
How do the collecting ducts specifically control Na reabsorbtion
Na is absorbed passible from the lumen but Na specific channels are increased through hormones. Na is moved into the interstitum by the Na-K ATPase
How does GFR affect Na reabsorbtin
increased GFR increases Na reabsorbtion to a point. Too high GFR leads to lower Na reabsorbtion
What does ANP do
"dilates renal vasc and increases GFR, and increases excretion of Na and as a result more water also"

"Steep Conc Gradient into lumen. Mostly secretion.
How does aldosterone affect K movement
Increases Na-K ATPases increasing the K conc inside the cells and then increasing passive secretion
How is K affected by dehydration
Water is drawn into the interstitium and K is concentrated in the cells leading to increased secretion
Acidosis and K
Acidosis leads to hyperkalemia. H moves into tubular cells and K is moved into interstium
Alkalemia and K
"H moves out of Cell, K moves in and is secreted
Bicarb cycle
"NaHCO3 filtered in glom
Where does most bicarb get reabsorbed
PCT
What happens to bicarb in the DCT
HCO3 combines with K in the lumen and KHCO3 gets stuck and excreted
How is bicarb affected by alkalemia
H is transported to insterstitium leaving lots of bicarb in the cell triggering the Cl-HCO3 increasing bicarb secretion
How is titratable acid exreted
Na2HPO4 dissociates to NaHPO4. H is secreted into the tubules and NaH2PO4 is formed and is excreted.

at what pH are the H pumps working at maximum
4.4
How does the body get rid of additional acid once the urine is at its lowest pH
