1st step in urine formation
Glomerular filtration
Formula for urinary excretion rate
Filtration rate - reabsorption rate + secretion rate
Endothelium lining, basement membrane, epithelial cell layer surr outer surface of BM, glomerular pump. Which is not part of the glomerular capillary membrane?
glomerular pump
Glomerular capillary membrane has negative charge so negatively charged proteins can pass.true or false?
False. Protein cannot pass bec similar charge
Glomerular hydrostatic pressure pushes water __ while Bowman’s capsule hydrostatic pressure pushes water ___ (in, out)
Out, in
Glomerular colloid osmotic pressure: how does it affect water?
Prevents fluid exit bec colloid attracts fluid. Water does not leave glomerulus
Bowman’s capsule oncotic pressure: effect on water
Gets water out bec proteins attract water
Net filtration pressure must be ___ (+ or -) for water to go out
Positive
Maintenance of relatively stable GFR over wide range of blood pressures, within kidney
Autoregulation
The following contribute to autoregulation of glomerular filtration except (myogenic reflex,conditioning of glomerular capillary membrane, tubuloglomerular feedback, angiotensin-II mediated vasoconstriction)
conditioning of glomerular capillary membrane
Myogenic reflex and tubuloglomerular feedback affect __ arteriole while angiotensin-II mediated vasoconstriction affects __ arteriole (afferent, efferent)
Afferent, efferent
Myogenic reflex
⬆️BP: __ afferent arteriole
⬇️BP: __ afferent arteriole
(Dilate, constrict)
Constrict, dilate
Purpose of myogenic reflex toward afferent arteriole
Protect arteriole fr sudden Systolic BP spikes
Tubuloglomerular feedback toward aff.arteriole mediated by ___
Macula densa
Macula densa: part of ___ of loop of Henle
Thick ascending limb
What kind of receptor is macula densa?
Osmoreceptor (to solute conc, tubular fluid flow)
⬆️tubular flow rates, ___ solute delivery to macula densa, __filtration pressure
⬆Then⬇️
During increased NaCl reabsorption, what does macula densa produce!
ATP
Adenosine
Adenosine is a potent vasoconstrictor.true or false?
True
Converts angiotensiongen to angiotensin
Renin
Converts angiotensin-I to angiotensin-II
Angiotensin-converting enzyme
Why is renin released?
Low RBF
Effect of angiotensin II on efferent arteriole
Vasoconstriction
Effect of vasoconstriction of efferent arteriole on glomerular hydrostatic levels
