Processes that occur as filtrate is converted to urine:
1. Regulation of total body water volume & solute concentration
2. Regulation of ion levels in extracellular fluid

Q

renin

Renin is an enzyme made by special cells in your kidneys. It’s part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system — a chain reaction designed to regulate your blood pressure. Specifically, renin controls the production of aldosterone, a hormone made by your adrenal glands.

Q

Aldosterone

A

A steroid hormone made by the adrenal cortex (the outer layer of the adrenal gland). It helps control the balance of water and salts in the kidney by keeping sodium in and releasing potassium from the body. Too much aldosterone can cause high blood pressure and a build-up of fluid in body tissues.

57
Q

Tubuloglomerular feedback

A

an increase in NaCl concentration at the macula densa constricts the glomerular afferent arteriole and thus decreases the single-nephron GFR. Along with the myogenic response, TGF significantly contributes to renal autoregulation.

58
Q

A

intrinsic controls regulate factors within a local environment; extrinsic controls regulate factors coordinating body systems.

59

60
Q

A

a vital homeostatic mechanism that protects the kidney from elevations in arterial pressure that would be transmitted to the glomerular capillaries and cause injury.

61
Q

Tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism Intrinsic control of GFR

Q

64
Q

Macula densa detects

A

NaCl in tubular fluid of DCT. lower BP = decreased NaCl

65
Q

decreasing GFR through sympathetic stimulation

A

Results: vascoconstriction of the afferent arteriole decreases blood flow into the glomerulus and contraction of mesangial cells decrease filtration surface area.
Next effect: GFR decreased and filtrate decreases filtration surface area.

66
Q

Increasing GFR through atrial natriuretic peptide

A

Results: Vasodilation of the afferent arteriole increases blood flow into glomerulus and relaxation of mesangial cells increases filtration surface area
Net effect: GFR increased and filtrate increased more fluid eliminated in urine which decreases blood volume

  2. Na+ passively moves down its gradient across luminal membrane into tubular cell
  3. na+ enters blood through intercellular clefts in peritubular and vasa recta capillaries.
77
Q

A
  1. Enters principal cells

84
Q

CO2 diffuses into tubule

CO2 combines with H2O to H2CO3 to HCO3− & H+

H+ is secreted into the tubular fluid (will decrease pH of urine if not reabsorbed) & HCO3− is reabsorbed into the blood

89
Q

Both reabsorbed and secreted
50% reabsorbed in PCT then secreted back into nephron loop, so 100% of filtered urea is present at DCT
