A&P2 Test 5 #10 Urinary-Tubular secretion

        Help!  

Question
Answer
TUBULAR SECRETION involves:   adding materials that were removed from blood to the filtrate  
🗑
Tubular secretion-2 main effects:   1) rids body of certain materials & 2) controls Ph of blood  
🗑
Normal Blood Ph is   7.35 to 7.45  
🗑
Diet varies so, constant:   adjustments must be made  
🗑
Renal tubules (mostly DCT) secrete:   acid producing materials in the form of hydrogen & ammonium ions  
🗑
Hydrogen ions stimulate prod.:   of carbonic acid, using carbon dioxide diffused from peritubular caps  
🗑
Hydrogen ion-bond w/sodium &:   form a weak acid that is eliminated in the urine  
🗑
If blood is too acidic it can be:   elevated by secretion of ammonium ions  
🗑
Ammonia is a:   poisonous waste product  
🗑
Ammonia is from:   DEAMINATION of amino acids  
🗑
Ammonia is converted:   to urea by liver  
🗑
Urea & ammonia are part of the:   glomerular filtrate and are subsequently expelled from the body  
🗑
When ammonia forms in DC:   & collecting tubules it combines w/hydrogen to form the ammonium ion  
🗑
Cells secrete ammonia in filtrate:   and it replaces a positive ion; usually sodium,in a salt & it is eliminated  
🗑
Product of nephrons function is   urine  
🗑
Volumn of urine per day   1.5 liter  
🗑
Urine is 95%   water  
🗑
The yellow look of Urine is from:   presence of UROCHROME  
🗑
Color can be affected by:   diet, ie red color from beets, or by water volumn  
🗑
Odor of unine may   vary; ie:asparagus adds methyl mercaptan that give a unique odor.  
🗑
Diabetics have   fruity smelling urine  
🗑
Stale urine has the smell of ammonia due to:   ammonium carbonate formation, which is from the bacterial metabolism of urea solutes  
🗑
Normal Urine is slightly   acidic (pH 5.0-7.8)  
🗑
Urine rarely becomes more acidic:   than 4.5 or more alkaline than 8.0  
🗑
Variations in pH are related to:   diet  
🗑
High protein diets increase:   acidity  
🗑
Vegestable diets increase   alkalinity  
🗑
SPECIFIC GRAVITY is ratio of:   weight of a volumn of a substance, to the weight of an equal volumn of distilled water  
🗑
Specific Gravity of urine ranges:   from 1.008 to 1.030 dep. on the amt of dissolved solute in the urine  
🗑
Urine-only a trace of:   glucose, ketones, proteins, RBC's, WBC's, etc...  
🗑
CASTS are tiny masses of   material that have hardened & assumed the shape of tubular lumens  
🗑
Casts are flushed from tubules:   by filtrate build up in back of them  
🗑
UROCHROME   a pigment by product of the metabolism of bile  
🗑
