Concentration and dilution of urine- Hamra- 2/5/2013

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
The 'Single effect'   ATL is not permeable to water but is permeable to NaCl which allows CCexchange system where the medulla becomes concentrated, but at the same time sets up an osmotic gradient for water to follow if the aquaporins of the collecting duct be opened by ADH  
🗑
In the thin ascending limb, the single effect is accomplished by   Passive movement of NaCl out  
🗑
In the thick ascending limb, the single effect is accomplished by   Both active and passive mechanisms  
🗑
When flow occurs and fluid leaves the ascending and new fluid enters the descending from the proximal tubule, this is known as   Axial shift  
🗑
Osmotic gradient from outer to inner medulla is increasingly   Hyperosmotic  
🗑
With the maximal concentration of urine in humans, the concentration at the tip of the loop reaches   1200 mOsm  
🗑
ADH acts from where to where?   Initial collecting tubule to inner medullary collecting duct  
🗑
The osmolality of the cortical interstitium compared to the plasma   Equal  
🗑
As you descend into the medulla, the osmolality becomes increasingly   Hyperosmotic  
🗑
Loop diuretics inhibit the   Na/K/2Cl transporter in the thick ascending limb  
🗑
Loop diuretics prevent the urine from becoming ___ in the thick ascending limb   Diluted  
🗑
Loop diuretics prevent the interstitium from becoming _____ in the thick ascending limb   Concentrated  
🗑
Loop diuretics (increase/decrease) water reabsorption in the descending limb   Decrease  
🗑
Define urine output   The sum of the rate at which kidney excretes isosmotic moiety plus the rate at which it excretes free water  
🗑
If the urine is more dilute than the plasma, the free water clearance is   Positive  
🗑
If the urine is more concentrated than plasma, the free water clearance is   Negative  
🗑
If the urine is isosmotic to plasma, the free water clearance is   Zero  
🗑
In addition to water reabsorption, ADH also stimulates   Urea transporters in the inner medulla  
🗑
The vasa recta utilize both passive and active transport. T/F?   False, Solute and water can enter and leave the vasa recta but there is no capacity for active transport  
🗑
Which establishes the medullary osmotic gradient, CC multiplier or CC exchange?   CC multiplier  
🗑
What is the point of the CC exchanger?   The kidney better preserves the osmotic gradient in the medulla  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
