Kidneys: Structure and Function

        Help!  

Question
Answer
What does each nephron in the kidney consist of?   Renal corpuscle, tubule  
🗑
What is the purpose of the renal corpuscle?   Filters  
🗑
What is the renal corpuscle consist of?   Glomerulus, and bowman's capsule  
🗑
What does the tubule segment into?   Proximal tubule, loop of henle, and distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct  
🗑
What is the function of the proximal tubule?   Processes organic, inorganic, and water  
🗑
What does the loop of henle do?   Concentrates urine  
🗑
What is the purpose of the collecting duct system? (2 things)   Fine tunes urine and is a site for hormones  
🗑
What do the collecting ducts do?   Urine flows from the tubules to get into renal pelvis-->ureter-->bladder  
🗑
What supplies the glomerulus?   Afferent arteriole  
🗑
What does the efferent arteriole do?   Leaves glomerulus to divide into peritubular caps  
🗑
What do the peritubular caps do?   Supply the tubule  
🗑
What are the three main renal processes?   Glomerular filtration, tubular secretion, and tubular reabsorption  
🗑
Equation for excretion:   (filtered + Secreted) - Reabsorbed  
🗑
URINE FORMATION   URINE FORMATION  
🗑
What initiates the process of urine formation?   Glomerular filtration  
🗑
What is the average amount of filtratrate and what is the filtrate?   180L/DAY; protein free plasma  
🗑
Where does the filtrate then go?   Bowman's capsule  
🗑
What is the concentration difference of the all the filtrate; meaning, what is retained more/less?   All equal  
🗑
What drives glomelular filtration?   Hydrostatic pressure in glomelular caps  
🗑
What opposes glomelular filtration?   Hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's cap and osmotic force b/c of proteins  
🗑
TUBULAR REABSORPTION   REAPSORPTION  
🗑
Where does the reabsorped stuff go?   Peritubular cappilaries  
🗑
How does reabsorption occur?   Active of diffusion  
🗑
What is the water sodium, glucose and urea filtered by day?   180; 630; 180; 54  
🗑
What si the Water, sodium, glucose, and urea excreted per day?   1.8; 3.2; 0; 30  
🗑
TRANSPORT MECHANISMS   TRANSPORT MECHANISMS  
🗑
ACTIVE   ACTIVE  
🗑
What is the transport maximum?   When the filtered load of the thing is above the maximum, excrete rest of stuff in urine  
🗑
give an example of somthing that manifests this phenomena?   Glucose  
🗑
DIFFUSION   DIFFUSION  
🗑
Where does teh diffusion gradient arise?   Water reqbsorption createstubule interstitium  
🗑
What diffuses?   Urea  
🗑
TUBULAR SECRETION   TUBULAR SECRETION  
🗑
What is it?   Moving stuff from Pertube caps to tubules.  
🗑
What are the two methods for a substance to gain entry into the tubule?   Glomerular filtration and tubular secretion  
🗑
What are teh most important tube secretions?   K+ and H+  
🗑
CLEARANCE   CLEARANCE  
🗑
What is it?   Volume of plasma from whicha sustance is cleared by kidney  
🗑
Clearance equation?   S = mass of s excreted / plasma concentration of s  
🗑
GFR   Glomelular filtration rate  
🗑
How is GFR measured?   mean insulin cleared  
🗑
How is it estimated?   mean of creatinine clearance  
🗑
MICTURITION   EJECTION OF URINE FROM TEH BLADDER  
🗑
How does urination work? First step   stretch of bladder activates receptors  
🗑
Step two:   contract detrusor msucle parasympathetically  
🗑
Step THREE:I   Inhibit motor neurons to external urethra  
🗑
What is inhibited during filling?   Detruser  
🗑
What is inhibited during urination?   external and internal urethra  
🗑
What mechanism is used, active or passive, to gain water vs. sodium and potasium?   Water: passive; sodium and potasium; active  
🗑
