Question
Answer
show regulation of body fluid osmolality, volume; excretion of H20 & NaCl regulated w/ cardiovascular, endocrine, & CNS  
🗑
Regulation of electrolyte balance   show
🗑
show kidneys work in concert with lungs to regulate the pH in narrow limits of buffers within body fluids  
🗑
Excretion of metabolic products and foreign substances   show
🗑
Renin   show
🗑
Prostaglandins/kinins-braykinin   show
🗑
show stimulates RBC formation by bone marrow  
🗑
show nephron  
🗑
show production of filtrate, reabsorption of organic nutrients, reabsorption of water and ions, secretion of waste products into tubular fluid  
🗑
Types of nephrons   show
🗑
show 85% of all nephrons; located in cortex  
🗑
Juxtamedullary nephrons   show
🗑
Blood supply to kidnesy   show
🗑
Glomerular filtration   show
🗑
Filtrate   show
🗑
Glomerular filtration barrier   show
🗑
What drives filtration?   show
🗑
Glomerulus is more efficient than other capillary beds…why?   show
🗑
show not filtered and are used to maintain oncotic (colloid osmotic) pressure of the blood  
🗑
Net filtration pressure (NFP)   show
🗑
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR)   show
🗑
GFR too high   show
🗑
GFR too low   show
🗑
Control of GFR   show
🗑
Autoregulation of GFR   show
🗑
show autoregulation of GFR; arterial pressure rises, afferent arteriole stretches, vascular smooth muscles contract, arteriole resistance offsets pressure increase; RBF & hence GFR remain constant  
🗑
show autoregulation of GFR; feedback loop of flow rate (increased NaCL) sensing mechanism in macula dena of juxtaglomerular apparatus; increased GFR & RBF triggers release of vasoactive signals; constricts afferent arteriole leading to decreased GFR & RBF  
🗑
Juxtaglomerular apparatus   show
🗑
show tall, closely packed distal tubule cells; lie adjacent to JG cells; function as chemoreceptors or osmoreceptors  
🗑
show renal blood vessels are maximally dilated, autoregulation systems prevail  
🗑
show Norepi released by sympathetic NS; Epi released by adrenal medulla; afferent arterioles constrict, filtration inhibited; drop in filtration pressure stimulates JGA to release renin and erythropoietin  
🗑
Renin-angiontensin mechanism   show
🗑
Angiotensin II   show
🗑
Prostaglandins   show
🗑
show vasodilator produced by vascular endothelium  
🗑
Adenosine   show
🗑
show mesangial cells have contractile properties, influence capillary filtration by closing some of the capillaries; effects surface area; podocytes change size of filtration slits  
🗑
Process of urine formation   show
🗑
show amount excreted in urine = amount filtered through glomeruli into renal proximal tubule minus amount reabsorbed into capillaries plus amount secreted into tubules  
🗑
Reabsorption and secretion   show
🗑
Transport maximum (Tm)   show
🗑
Sodium reabsorption   show
🗑
show Na linked secondary active transport; key site is proximal convoluted tubule (PCT); reabsorption of glucose, ions, amino acids  
🗑
show substances that lack carriers, are not lipid soluble, too large to pass through membrane pores; urea, creatinine, uric acid most important  
🗑
Tubular secretion   show
🗑
PCT reabsorption & secretion   show
🗑
show performs final adjustment of urine; active absorption of Na and Cl; secretion of K and H based on blood pH; water regulated by ADH/vasopressin; Na and K regulated by aldosterone  
🗑
Atrial natriuretic peptide activity (ANP)—reduces Na   show
🗑
show acting on medullary ducts to inhibit Na reabsorption; antagonistic to aldosterone & angiotensin II; promotes Na and H20 excretion in urine by kidney; indirectly stimulates increase in GFR reducing H20 reabsorption  
🗑
show released by posterior pituitary when osmoreceptors detect increase in plasma osmolality; dehydration or excess salt intake produces thirst sensation; stimulates H20 reabsorption from urine  
🗑
show regulated by controlling water and sodium reabsorption; precise control allowed via facultative water reabsorption  
🗑
Osmolality   show
🗑
Countercurrent mechanism   show
🗑
show vasa recta prevents loss of medullary osmotic gradient—equilibrates w/ interstitial fluid; maintains osmotic gradient, delivers blood  
🗑
show relatively impermeable to solutes; highly permeable to water  
🗑
Ascending loop of Henle   show
🗑
show permeable to urea  
🗑
Countercurrent multiplier and exchange   show
🗑
show ADH inhibits diuresis; equalizes osmolarity of filtrate, interstitial fluid; presence of ADH99% filtrate water reabsorbed; ADH is signal to produce concentrated urine; kidney ability to respond depends on high medullary osmotic gradient  
🗑
show ADH dependent water reabsorption  
🗑
show diluted in ascending loop if ADH not secreted; created by allowing filtrate to continue into renal pelvis; collecting ducts remain impermeable to water—no further water reabsorption occurs; Na and selected ions removed via active/passive mechanisms  
🗑
ADH mechanism action   show
🗑
show volume of plasma that is cleared of a particular substance in a given time; =UV/P; U = conc mg/ml of certain substance in urine; v = flow rate of urine (ml/min); P = conc of same substance in plasma  
🗑
Renal clearance tests   show
🗑
Creatinine clearance   show
🗑
Glomerular filtration   show
🗑
Inulin   show
🗑
PAH   show
🗑
Excretion   show
🗑
show color and transparency; yellow due to urocrhome; concentrated = deep yellow; drugs, vitamin supplements, diet, can change color of urine; cloudy urine may indicate UTI  
🗑
show slightly acidic (pH 6); diet can alter pH  
🗑
show ranges from 1.001 to 1.035; dependent on solute concentration  
🗑
show 95% water, 5% solutes; Nitrogenous wastes include urea, uric acid, & creatinine; Other normal solutes--Na, K, phosphate, and sulfate ions, Ca, Mg, and HCO3 ions; Abnormally high concentrations of urinary constituents may indicate pathology  
🗑
show from kidneys, urine flows down ureters to bladder (peristalsis); fills bladder; contraction of detrusor muscle empties bladder; greater volumes stretch bladder walls—initiate micturition reflex  
🗑
show spinal reflex; Psymp stimulation causes bladder to contract; internal sphincter opens, external sphincter relaxes due to inhibition  
🗑


   

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.
