A&P Final Lecture 6 Notes Flashcards
What cell is the governing body for potassium homeostasis in the body ?
Principle cell
What cell is the governing body for acid / base homeostasis in the body ?
Intercalated cells
What form does the protons show up in the urine
NH3
What is the most potent diuretic on the market
Loop diurectics
Furosemide
What are the 2 effects that the loop diuretics have on the renal tubules ?
Inhibiting Ion reabsorption
(Na)
Impact the concentration of renal interstitial concentration gradient
True or false, The urine osmolarity of a healthy person in the desert would be 300 ml per osmol
False,
True or false, Normally the kidneys has a concentrated renal interstitial concentration gradient
False, diluted renal interstitial concentration gradient
What is the big component of the renal interstitial concentration?
Urea
what is the charge that attract urea in the interstitial space
positive charge
Why is the urea concentration increased as the filtrate move down the renal tubules ?
Proximal tubules reabsorb some, however since the urea is larger the urea is not reabsorbed at the same rate as water, so the concentration increase has the urea move down the tubular
Most of Urea tends to be reabsorbed in what location of the tubules with the aid of what hormone?
MCD,
ADH (AVP)
Where is ADH release from? what cells does it effect in the kidney?
posterior lobe of the pituitary gland
Principles cells
Intercalated cells
What hormone affects the Aquaporins -2 and Urea Transporters ?
ADH/AVP
What side of the cell wall does ADH moves Urea transporters and Aquaporin -2?
Apical side
What are the 2 main concepts a student need to know regarding Urea ?
- Urea is reabsorbed at the proximal tubules with water but at a slower rate
- The increase in urea permeability in the MCD to allow urea to be reabsorbed
What happen to the blood as it descends the Vasa Recta ?
It becomes more concentrated
What happen to the blood as it ascends the Vasa Recta?
and Why?
It becomes more diulted
the solutes are able to move back into interstitium due to the current of the blood
Does the velocity of the blood plays a role in the amount of solute reabsorbed back in to the interstitium?
Yes, the slower the velocity of the blood the more concentrated the interstitium. it can move out of the peritubular capillaries and into the intersitium
Decrease in GFR = ________ renal blood flow = ________ = urinary output
decrease
decrease
What does the ADH system regulate
our blood osmolarity, excellular fluid
What will happen to the osmoreceptor cell in a hypertonic environment?
How do that effect the release of ADH?
the cell will shrink
increasing the release of ADH from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland
What will happen to the osmoreceptor cell in a hypotonic environment?
How do that affect the release of ADH?
the cell will swell
decreasing the release of ADH from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland
How do the osomoreceptor determine the amount of ADH that needs to be release
by selectively reabsorption of water
Which hormone has a direct effect on the fluid in the body?
ADH
