Question
Answer
What part of the nephron allows for water resorption while blocking sodium.   The thin descending limb  
🗑
What part of the nephron allows for sodium resorption while blocking water.   The thick ascending limb  
🗑
Name the 3 major parts of the Juxtaglomerular apparatus.   1. Renin-producing granular cells 2. Macula densa 3. Extraglomerular mesangial cells  
🗑
Do the extraglomerular mesangial cells effect eh afferent or efferent arteriole?   As the cells contract they change the tone of the afferent arterioles.  
🗑
What are the 4 possibilities a fluid has traveling in the nephron?   1. Filtered 2. Reabsorbed 3. Secreted 4. Excreted  
🗑
What id glomerular filtration rate (GFR)?   Volume/Time Normal = 180 L/day or 125 mL/min  
🗑
What determines the rate of filtration?   Rate = Kf X NFP Kf = hydraulic permeability X surface area  
🗑
What is included in the net filtration pressure (NFP)?   NFP = Pgc - Pcb - πgc So GFR = Kf (Pgc - Pbc - πgc)  
🗑
How will increasing Kf effect GFR?   Increases GFR  
🗑
How will increasing Pgc effect GFR?   Increases GFR  
🗑
How will increasing Pbc effect GFR?   Decreases GFR  
🗑
How will increasing πbc effect GFR?   Decreases GFR  
🗑
Increase in afferent arteriolar resistance will effect Pgc, GFR, and RBF in what ways?   Decreases Pgc Decreases GFR Decreases RBF  
🗑
Increase in efferent arteriolar resistance will effect Pgc, GFR, and RBF in what ways?   Increase Pgc increases GFR Decrease RCF  
🗑
What about equal increase in afferent and effecent resistance   Can cause decrease in RBF while the Pgc stays about the same  
🗑
Explain filtration factor a little bit.   FF = GFR/RPF FF is greater at low plasma flow  
🗑
What will SNS stimulation and angiotension II do in regards to the kidney?   It will increase afferent and efferent resistances and decrease RBF.  
🗑
Where does angiotension II work most?   Efferent arterioles  
🗑
What effect will an ACE/ARB have on GFR?   CAE/ARB will cause vasodilation of the efferent arterioles thus decreasing GFR  
🗑
How are changes in GFR sensed?   As increases or decreases in NaCl sensed by the Macula Dense  
🗑
Paracrines from the Macula Dense work where?   In the afferent arteriole or vasoconstrict/dilate  
🗑
What is the over all effect of the SNS and RAAS system in regards to GFR?   decrease in RPF with only a little or no change in GFR  
🗑
How does ADH (vasopressin) work?   Vasoconstricts but normally RBF and GFR remain constant  
🗑
What about ANP?   Afferent dilation, causing increases in both GFR and RBF. Also inhibits the secretion of Renin  
🗑
What is the role of prostaglandins?   Generally protective against excessive vasoconstriction like that seen with SNS and ANG II  
🗑
