Q

What kind of transport do chloride ions use in the proximal tubule?

Q

In the proximal tubule Na+ reabsorption increases so what happens next?

A

Water reabsorption and increased luminal Cl- Concentration and increased Urea concentrion which gives the lumen a more negative potential which allows for passive Cl- reabsorption and passive urea reabsorption

25
Na is a (blank) process
isosmotic process
26
What does the clearance rate of inulin tell you?
gives you the GFR
27
Explain how the TF/P by %proximal tubule length graph works.
as you move along the proximal tubule you are having water reabsorbed at a certain rate. Therefore if substances are getting reabsorbed at the same rate (like Na) then they be equally concentrated throughout the tube. However if substances aren't getting reabsorbed at the same rate, then the water will leave the tube and the substance will therefore be more concentrated and as such their line will be very steep and positive. If substances are getting reabsorbed faster than water than their line will b negative
28
According to the TF/P by %proximal tubule length graph, what get reabsorbed quickly? Slowly? As fast as water?
Glucose, AA, HCO3- PAH, Inulin, Cl- K+, Na+
29
When you put in a certain amount of potassium you need to get out that same amount. This is called (blank)
potassium homeostasis
30
What potassium level do you want to maintain?
4.2
31
(blank) percent of total body potassium is intracellular.
98%
32
Hyperosmolarity, exercise and cell lysis makes potassium do what?
leave the ICF (increases intracellular dehydration)
33
Insulin, B-agonists, aldosterone, and alkalosis makes potassium do what?
makes potassium move into the cellular fluid
34
Insulin stimulates K uptake after meal indirectly by increasing Na entry via (blank) which enhances Na/K pump. Otherwise hyperkalemia could cause neurological problems.
Na/H exchange
35
How does alkalosis affect intracellular potassium?
Alkalosis- movement of H and K (reciprocal)- less H+ tend to have H+ shift out of cells and K into cells (net movement of K+ into cells during alkalosis)
36
How does epinephrine increase Intracellular concentration of potassium?
Epinephrine stimulates K uptake by stimulating Na/K ATPase.
37
How does exercise decrease intracellular potassium?
During exercise- you have a large amount of action potential- tend to get extra K moving out of cells- the sympathetic response and the release of epi stimulates the Na-K pump helping to put K back into cells.
38
K+ moves via (blank) (passive) in the PCT (most of it does).
paracellular transport
39
When potassium moves from the PCT transcellularly what does it utilize?
ATP
40
When potassium moves from the PCT paracellularly, how does it move?
passively
41
When potassium moves from the PCT transcellularly via ATP how does it get out into the peritubular fluid?
passively
42
When potassium moves out of the peritubular lumen how does it do it?
via Na/K exchanger
43
Potassium handling in the late distal tubule and collecting ducts includes potassium secretion by (blank).
principal cells
44
What are the majority of the cells in the distal tubule and collecting ducts?
65% principal cell and 35% intercalated cells
45
When Na goes into the distal tubule surrounding cells what happens to K secretions?
the potassium secretion increase into the peritubular fluid due to enhancement of principal secretion
46

the distal tubule and the collecting , thick ascending loop of henle, proximal convoluted tubule
47
What is the normal fractional excretion of potassium?
10-20%
48
What are 2 factors affecting potassium secretion?
1) intracellular potassium | 2) aldosterone
49
(blank) increase the conduction of Na which increaeses the secretion of K+ into the tubule
aldosterone
50
You can think of potassim and sodium as having what kind of relationship (except in thick ascending loop of henle ?
an inverse one (when one comes in the other goes out)
51
What is the charge in the tubular lumen?
negative
52
Where does potassium enter the nephron?
DCT
53
An increase in (blank) stimulates the adrenal gland to release of aldosterone- which enhances the secretion of K+ into the tubule and out into the urine
K+ | it does this to try and rid your plasma of the excess potassium
54
How many grams of KCl are excreted per day?
5 grams
55
What is the equation for filtered load?
GFR X Px=mg/min

furosemide
66
