Glomerular filtration
First step on urine formation
A physical proces
Water and solutes filter out of blood into Norman’s capsule
Through glomerular capsular membrane
Fluid filters out of glomeruli
Into bowmans capsules due to of a pressure gradient from hydrostatic pressure inside glomeruli ( which is really high due to afferent artery is larger than efferent artery)
More volume gets in then out in time unit
Opposing the plasma tic oncotic pressure and capsular hydrostatic pressure in the filtrate
.
GlomerulAr filtration rate
125 mL/min
Filtration pressure 3 types
Glomerular capillary pressure 45 mmHg out
Colloid osmotic pressure - 28
Capsule pressure -10
= 7 mmHg
Filtration reabsorption
80% proximal convoluted tubules
Loop of henle
25 mL/min enter 10 mL/min water permeability reabsorbed - descending -goes out 15 goes to distal tubules 13 reabsorbed 2 in collecting duct
Ascending loop of Henley
Permeable to sodium
Uses energy
Collecting duct
Absorb water
With ADH
1ml/l is lost as urine by nephron
Filtrate definitions
Fluids and solutes circulating in glomeruli due hydrostatic pressure
180liters per day
Includes everything but blood cells and large proteins
Filtrate is isotonic with plasma
.
Urine
Daily volume 1.5 liters per day
Glomerular filtration regulation
Kidneys intrinsic or auto regulatory system
Maintains rates despises changes in blood pressure
Total blood volume filtration.
Every 45 mins
Ecf is reworked in the kidneys more than 10 times a day
99% of gfr is reabsorbed
Active reabsorption
Vagil
Glucose Amino acids Lactat e Vitamins Most ions
Vagil
Transport maximum for glucose
375 mg/min
Protein absorption
Pinocytotic
Sodium drags
Chloride and carbonic acid
Depending on pH
And osmotic water to proximal tubules
Proximal tubule reabsorption.
Sodium Glucose Potassium Amino acid Carbonic acid Phosphate Water (no ADH) Urea
75-80% of water and sodium reabsorbed
Proximal tubules secretion
Hydrogen ion
Foreign substances
loop of henle
conc of urine (countercurrent of mechanism)
descending loop - water reabsorption and sodium diffuse in
ascending loop- sodium reabsorbed -active transport , water stays in
hypotonic
hypertonic
isotonic
