Q

Metabolic function of kidney ?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Gluconeogenesis
  2. Transamination
  3. Deamination
20
Q

Substances completely reabsorbed by kidney ?

Study These Flashcards
A

Completely reabsorbed: Glucose
Amino acid
Proteins
Vitamins
Acetoacetate ions

21
Q

Partially reabsorbed by kidney?

Study These Flashcards
A

Partially reabsorbed:

Water & electrolytes
Keto acids
Urea
Uric acid
Na+,K+, Ca2+,Mg2+,PO4, HCO3-

22
Q

Substance not reabsorbed by kidney?

Study These Flashcards
A

Inulin
Creatinine
Mannitol
Sucrose

23
Q

What is Myogenic mechanism in autoregulation of Renal blood flow?

Study These Flashcards
A

Renal afferent arterioles contract in response to stretch . Thus increased renal arterial pressure stretches the arterioles , which contract and increase resistance to maintain constant blood flow.

24
Q

Most important buffer in blood ?

Study These Flashcards
A

Bicarbonate buffer

25
most important buffer in RBC?
Haemoglobin buffer
26
Most important buffer in Plasma / ECF ?
Bicarbonate buffer
27
Most important buffer in urine?
Ammonia buffer
28
How kidney regulates acid base balance ?
Kidney regulates acid base balance by : 1.Secretion of H+ 2. Reabsorption of filtered HCO3 -3. Generation of new HCO3-
29
Diuretics acting on PCT ?
1. Osmotic diuretic 2. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
30
Diuretics acting on Collecting tubule?
1. Aldosterone antagonist 2. Na+ channel blocker
31
Diuretics acting on Early distal tubule ?
Thiazide diuretics
32
Diuretics acting on Thick ALLH ?
Loop diuretics
33
What is the limiting pH of urine
4.5
34
What is the countercurrent multiplier in nephron ?
Loop of henle
35
What is the countercurrent exchanger in nephron ?
