Renal 1 Flashcards
(131 cards)
secretion vs. reabsorption
secretion: moving from system into glomiluar filtrate
reabsorption: from renal tubule into system
secretion vs. reabsorption
secretion: moving from system into glomiluar filtrate
reabsorption: from renal tubule into system
Renal activity major influencer of ____ and ____ fluid compartments
ECF and ICF
filtrate not urine until hits
ureter
Total boday water TBW broken into 2 categories
ECF 1/3
ICF 2/3
ECF broken into 3 categories
- interstitial fluid 3/4
- plasma 1/4
- transcellular fluid .5 liters
provides immediate environment around cell
ECF–responsible for health of individual cells
_____ plays major part in composition of ECF
kidneys
7 rolls of kidneys
- excretion of metabolic waste
- regulation of H2O/ electrolyte balance
- Regulate body fluid osmolarity
- Regulate arterial pressure
- Regulate acid/base balance–excretion of “fixed” acids
- Regulate erythrocyte production via erythropoietin- ^ HgB
- Influence Ca/ Phosphorus/ Vit D metabolic pathways
arterial pressure regulated by
- varying levels of Na+/H2O
2. direct and indirect effect of the Rennin-angiotensin-aldo system
Gen Kidney Functions 8
- osmotic press and volume
- ions
- Acid/Base
- BP
- waste removal
- Toxic compounds
- hormone production
- degrade hormones
Ca and Phosphorus move in ______ ________ in blood
opposite direction–seasaw
Functional unit of kidney
the nephron
____ kidney a little higher
left
outer layer of kidneys
cortex
______ and ______ calyx
major and minor
nephron composed of
- glomerulus–accompanying eff/aff arterial surrounded by Bowman’s capsule
- Renal tubules–
number of nephrons/ kidney
million
glomerulus produces
ultra filtrate of blood
renal tubules lined w/
epithelial cells function in reabsorption/ secration of:
water
electrolytes
and waste products
7 Areas of tubules
- proximal convoluted tubules
- proximal straight tubules
- thin descending limb of the loop of Henley
- thick ascending limp of LofH
- Early distal tubule and Macula densa
- distal convoluted tubule
- collection duct
second capillary network in the unusual arrangement of two capillary beds in series
peritubular capillary beds
kidneys engage in ________-allowing for consistant blood flow
autoregulation of blood flow–from roughly 60-180 torr–even for transplanted kidneys (not reliant on ANS)
**_______ ________ allows for autoregulation–watch video
jutaglomerular apparatus–macula densa cells at glomerular capillaries
