If kidneys receive 20% CO and Hct is 40%, what’s the RPF?

A

1 L/min of blood; 60% is plasma, so 600 mL/min is RPF

Q

(X)% of incoming plasma is filtered at the glomerulus. If kidneys receive 20% CO, what can this tell us about GFR?

A

X = 20;
20% of RPF (which is 600 mL/min if 20% of CO);

Q

Standing Osmotic Gradient Hypothesis: continuous (reabsorption/secretion) of (X) creates small (increase/decrease) of osmolality of (Y) spaces. This leads to:

A

Reabsorption;
X = Na and Cl
Increase;
Y = intercellular spaces

Drive in reabsorption of water

23
Q

The Standing Osmotic Gradient Hypothesis primarily describes (X) (reabsorption/secretion) in which part of tubules?

A

X = water
Reabsorption;
Proximal tubule

24
Q

T/F: In descending limb, the high permeability to water is due to Standing Osmotic Gradient Hypothesis.

A

False - due to high osmolality of medullary interstitium

25
Glucose reabsorption in (X) tubule: its entry is carried out by Na-(dependent/independent) (Y) transporters at (luminal/basolateral) membrane.
X = proximal Dependent; Y = SGLT2 and 1 Luminal
26
SGLT(1/2) is high affinity, low capacity and appears (first/second) in proximal tubule.
SGLT1; | second
27
Glucose exits tubular cells via (X) method of transport and Na-(dependent/independent) (Y) transporters, located on (luminal/basolateral) membrane.
X = facilitated diffusion Independent; Y = GLUT2 and 1 Basolateral
28
Compared to glom cap's, peritubular cap pressure is (low/high).
Low
29
T/F: Constriction of both aff and eff arterioles reduces RBF.
True (increased resistance)
30
Afferent arteriole dilation (increases/decreases) hydrostatic P in glomerulus. And efferent arteriole dilation?
Increases; | Decreases
31
T/F: Efferent arteriole constriction to any degree increases GFR.
False- can constrict to degree where reduced RBF compromises filtration
32
T/F: Both aff and eff arterioles are innervated by sympathetic nerves.
True
33
RBF and GFR are maintained relatively constant between arterial pressures of which range?
80-180 mmHg
34
Myogenic response of (aff/eff) arteriole smooth muscle is mediated by (X) channels.
Afferent; | X = stretch-sensitive cation channels
35
Angiotensin II induces preferential (increase/decrease) in (aff/eff) arteriolar resistance.
Increase; | Efferent
36
Tubuloglomerular feedback: changes in (X) as a result of (Y) is sensed by (Z).
``` X = tubular flow rate Y = change in GFR Z = macula densa cells ```
37
Tubuloglomerular feedback: increased GFR causes vaso-(constrictor/dilator) secretion by (X) to act on (aff/eff) arterioles.
Vasoconstrictor; X = macula densa Afferent
38
Tubuloglomerular feedback: it's thought that macula densa sense change in (X), which alters (Y) of cells.
``` X = NaCl conc in fluid delivered Y = cell volume and/or intracell Ca levels ```
39
Tubuloglomerular feedback: high (X) levels sensed by macula densa causes them to secrete (Y), which bind to (Z) receptors on afferent arteriolar smooth muscle.
``` X = Na Y = Adenosine Z = A1 (recall that A2 receptors cause vasodilation elsewhere) ```
40
Tubuloglomerular feedback: the mechanism's sensitivity is modulated by (X).
X = status of ECF volume
41
Tubuloglomerular feedback: why would sensitivity by (increased/decreased) at contracted/low ECF volume?
Increased; | Any spontaneous increase in GFR must be dealt with swiftly to prevent life-threatening fluid loss
42
(Increase/decrease) in blood V and blood P stimulates symp nerve activation and (X) NT release. (X) interacts with (Y) receptors to cause (dilation/constriction) of (aff/eff) arterioles and (increase/reduction) of RBF/GFR.
``` Increase; X = NE Y = alpha-1 Vasoconstriction; Mainly afferent; reduction ```
43
Sympathetic activation of (X) receptors in (Y) cells in (aff/eff) arterioles (stimulates/inhibits) renin release.
X = beta-1 Y = granular Afferent; Stimulates
44
(Increased/decreased) perfusion pressure leads to increased renin production.
Decreased
45
(NE/renin/AII/ANP) stimulate(s) renal prostaglandin production, which has a (contract/relax) action that dampens (vasodilation/vasoconstriction) effects of (NE/renin/AII/ANP).
NE and AII; relaxation; vasoconstriction; NE and AII
46
NSAIDs can result in acute (rise/reduction) in (RBF/GFR) because of unopposed (X) due to blockage of (Y).
Reduction; both X = vasoconstriction Y = NE/AII stimulation of prostaglandin synthesis
47
NO is a vasodilator produced by (X) cells and released tonically in renal circulation. (Contraction/expansion) of ECF volume stimulates its release.
X = endothelial and macula densa | Expansion
48
Levels of dopamine (increases/decreases) with ECF volume expansion. Which effects does this have on GFR/RBF?
Increases; | Vasodilator leading to increase in RBF/GFR
49
Levels of ANP (increases/decreases) with ECF volume expansion. Which effects does this have on GFR/RBF?
Increases; | Vasodilator (afferent) and vasoconstrictor (efferent) leading to increase GFR with small increase RBF
50
Glumerulo-tubular balance allows increased (X) of salt and water to be compensated by their (increased/decreased) (Y). This is to avoid:
X = filtration Increased; Y = reabsorption Avoid severe salt/water depletion
51
List the two mechanisms responsible for glumerulo-tubular balance.
1. Starling forces at peritubular cap's | 2. Increased delivery of organic solutes, co-transported with Na
52
A near constant fraction, (X), of filtered water and salt is reabsorbed at proximal tubule.
X = 2/3
53
At which tubule does glumerulo-tubule balance take place?
Proximal tubule, loop of henle, and distal tubule
