Final Exam lecture 2 Flashcards
How many nephrons are in 1 kidney
1 million in each
Total 2 million
How many ml’s are in 1 deciliter
100mls
What is normal GFR in Deciliters
1.25 deciliters/min
What is normal urine production per hour
60ml/hr or 1ml/min
Name forces favoring filtration and values associated with them
Glomerular hydrostatic pressure= 60mmHg
Bowmans Capsule colloid osmotic pressure= 0mmHg
Name forces opposing filtration and values associated with them
Bowman’s capsule hydrostatic pressure= 18mmHg
Glomerular capillary colloid pressure= 32mmHg
For normal healthy kidney, what is the equation for NFP
60-18-32=10mmHg
If we increase the resistance in the afferent arteriole, what would happen to GFR and RBF
Lower hydrostatic pressure, which would decrease GFR and decrease renal blood flow
What happens if we dilate afferent arteriole
decreases resistance pressure downstream goes up or hydrostatic pressure increase and increase GFR
Which of the vessels that sit directly upstream and downstream of the glomerular capsule has the highest resistance
efferent arteriole
What happens if we increase resistance in the efferent arteriole?
Increased hydrostatic pressure, increases GFR
What is the 2nd most important vessel for resistance and GFR
Afferent arteriole
The most important is efferent arteriole
What does constriction in the efferent arteriole do to RBF and FF
Decrease RBF
Increase Filtration fraction
Does colloid pressure increase or decrease as it moves along the distance of the glomerular capillary bed
Increase
At what pressure in mmHg does Glomerular colloid osmotic pressure start at and level at
Starts at 28mmHg and levels off at 36mmHg
