Where is bile stored? Gallbladder
role of emulsification and micelles in fat digestion and absorption Emulsification: bile salts break fat into small droplets → ↑ surface area for lipase. • Micelles: clusters containing bile salts, fatty acids, monoglycerides, fat-soluble vitamins → deliver lipids to epithelial surface for absorption
What are the components of the small intestine Duodenum • Jejunum • Ileum

name, in order, the different areas of the vasculature Afferent arteriole → Glomerular capillaries → Efferent arteriole → Peritubular capillaries / Vasa recta → Venules → Vein
unusual things about the vasculature of the kidneys Two capillary beds in series (glomerular + peritubular) Glomerular capillaries are highly permeable Glomerular pressure very high (55 mmHg) Peritubular capillary pressure very low
Which arteriole is wider? Why is this important Afferent arteriole is wider • Creates high pressure in glomerulus to favor filtration

What is the juxtaglomerular apparatus? functions Regulates GFR and renin release • JG cells: sense BP, secrete renin • Macula densa: senses tubular flow and NaCl
Three layers of the glomerular membrane: Fenestrated capillary endothelium Basement membrane (negatively charged) Podocytes of Bowman’s capsule (filtration slits)
What does the membrane keep out? Large molecules • Negatively charged proteins
Two reasons glomerular capillaries are good for filtration: Very high pressure • Extremely permeable membrane
What are the 3 forces involved in glomerular filtration? Glomerular hydrostatic pressure (favors filtration) Plasma colloid osmotic pressure (opposes) Bowman’s capsule hydrostatic pressure (opposes)
How much plasma is filtered vs passes to efferent arteriole? ~20% filtered • ~80% continues to efferent arteriole/peritubular caps
definition of reabsorption Movement of substances from filtrate → blood.
hat sort of things are reabsorbed water, Na⁺, glucose, amino acids, electrolytes, bicarbonate, etc.
Mechanism of sodium reabsorption: Na⁺ pumped out of epithelial cell via Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase on basolateral membrane • Creates low intracellular Na⁺ • Na⁺ moves passively from lumen into epithelial cell • Water and Cl⁻ follow • Regulated by aldosterone (in DCT)
Mechanism of glucose reabsorption: • Secondary active transport with Na⁺ (cotransport) • Glucose moves from lumen → epithelial cell via Na⁺-glucose carrier • Once inside, glucose moves passively into blood • Has a tubular maximum (Tm)
What is filtered load? Amount of a substance filtered per minute.
Equation of filtered load Filtered load = Plasma concentration × GFR
What is renal threshold? Plasma concentration at which Tm is reached and substance begins appearing in urine.
Given filtered load & Tm, can you determine reabsorbed/excreted amounts? Yes. • If Filtered load < Tm → all reabsorbed, none excreted • If Filtered load > Tm → excess is excreted
What is the definition of secretion? Movement of substances from blood → filtrate.
What sort of things would be secreted H⁺, K⁺, NH₃, drugs, organic ions.
Role of loop of Henle? Countercurrent multiplier? Gradient? Creates vertical hyperosmotic gradient (300 → 1200 mOsm) • Countercurrent multiplier uses descending/ascending limbs to concentrate medulla
Descending vs ascending loop Descending: permeable to water, no Na⁺ pumping • Ascending: pumps out NaCl; impermeable to water
Osmolarity of filtrate entering/leaving loop Enters loop: isosmotic (~300 mOsm) • Leaves loop: hypo-osmotic (~100 mOsm)
Role of ADH? Source? Trigger? • Increases water channels in collecting duct • Produced in hypothalamus, stored in posterior pituitary • Released when body fluids are hypertonic (↑ osmolarity)
What does ADH do and how does it change fluid concentration? Makes collecting duct permeable to water • Water leaves tube → interstitial fluid → concentrated urine
Effect of GFR too fast or too slow on urine: Too fast: Not enough reabsorption → ↑ urine output Too slow: Too much reabsorption → low urine output (From GFR regulation section.)
Changing GFR affects reabsorption and BP how? Fast GFR = less reabsorption → ↓ blood volume → ↓ BP • Slow GFR = more reabsorption → ↑ blood volume → ↑ BP
Factors that change GFR: Plasma colloid osmotic pressure • Bowman’s capsule hydrostatic pressure • Glomerular membrane permeability • Renal blood flow
Effect of arteriole diameter changes on GFR: Afferent constriction ↓ GFR
Effect of arteriole diameter changes on GFR: Afferent dilation: ↑ GFR
Effect of arteriole diameter changes on GFR: Efferent constriction ↑ GFR
Effect of arteriole diameter changes on GFR: Efferent dilation ↓ GFR
Mechanisms triggered by low BP: Sympathetic nerves → ↑ CO, ↑ TPR • Afferent arteriole constriction → ↓ GFR → ↑ Na⁺ & water reabsorption • JG cells release renin → activates RAA system → ↑ BP
Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone pathway: Low BP/low NaCl/low flow/sympathetic stimulation → JG cells release renin • Renin converts angiotensinogen → Ang I • ACE converts Ang I → Ang II
Ang II causes: — Vasoconstriction — Thirst — ↑ ADH — ↑ Aldosterone (↑ Na⁺ reabsorption) All ↑ BP and ECF volume
What is atrial natriuretic factor (ANF)? Released when ECF volume high • Inhibits Na⁺ reabsorption • Inhibits renin and aldosterone • Promotes Na⁺ and water loss → ↓ BP
When osmolarity is high (ECF low), what happens? Increase intake: thirst + Ang II • Decrease urine output: ADH release • Decrease GFR to retain fluid
What are the 3 lines of defense against changes in H+ concentration? Buffers: bicarb (ECF), proteins (ICF), phosphate (urine) Respiratory system: adjusts CO₂ Renal system: adjusts H⁺ secretion and HCO₃⁻ reabsorption
How does the respiratory system regulate H+? Hyperventilation: ↓ CO₂ → ↓ H⁺ → ↑ pH (alkalosis) • Hypoventilation: ↑ CO₂ → ↑ H⁺ → ↓ pH (acidosis)
