A&P2 Test 5 #7 Urinary-Physiology of Nephron

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Glomerular filtration involves a:   relationshop bet endothelial pore size & size of available solutes  
🗑
Endothelial pores restrict size of:   materials that can pass thru the membrane into the capsule  
🗑
Endothelial-capsular membrane seperating the blood:   from space in the GC is very thin (0.1um)  
🗑
Basement membrane permits passage of:   smaller molecules & restricts flow of larger ones  
🗑
filtration slits are located bet the:   pedicels of the podocytes and are only 6-9nm wide  
🗑
The efferent arteriole is much:   smaller than afferent, so resistance to outflow is created  
🗑
Consequently, the BP is higher in the:   GC than in other capillaries (60mmHg vs 30mmHg elsewhere)  
🗑
Hydrostatic pressure (BP) in the glomerulus:   tends to move fluid out of the glomeruli  
🗑
Capsular hydrostatic pressure opposes:   filterate movement & some filtrate is pushed back into the capillary.  
🗑
This occurs cause when filterate is forced:   out of glomerular capillaries into space bet walls of GC it meets w/2 forms of resistance  
🗑
Two forms of resistance:   1.walls of capsule &2. fluid that has already filled the renal tubule.  
🗑
As a result of the resistance:   some filtrate is pushed back into the capillary  
🗑
Regulation of glomerular filteration involves:   renal autoregulation & extrinsic controls  
🗑
Ptosis is the dropping of kidney due to:   loss of fatty tissue support. It is a bid prob if.when ureter gets kinked  
🗑
Hydronephrosis   kinked ureter causes urine to back up into kidney; it can lead to necrosis  
🗑
Pylonephritis   infection of renal pelvis & calyces.Can lead to infection of entire kidney  
🗑
Anuria   adnormally low urinary output per day (less than 50ml/day)  
🗑
Reanl Calculi   kidney stones; Most under 5mm in diam. Can have LITHOTRIPST vs surgery to remove  
🗑
Urethritis   inflammation of urethra  
🗑
Cystitis   bladder inflammation  
🗑
Incontinence   inability to control micturition  
🗑
Diabetes insipidus   injury or tumor in hypothalamus or posterior pituitary results in the under prod of ADH & over prod of urine  
🗑
large molecules do not normally pass   thru endothelial-capsular membrane  
🗑
FILTERATION SLITS aka   filteration pits or slit pores  
🗑
FILTERATE is   the product of filteration  
🗑
UROCHROME is a:   pigment by-product of the metabolism of bile  
🗑
