Term
three processes of making urine
Definition
filtration: passive and relatively non selective (size based)
reabsorbtion: passive or active, and secretion: active process
Term
glomerules
Definition
fliters the blood, produces 180L of filtrate/day (47 gallons), constantly running this blood through the kidneys over and over again
Term
glomerules surface area
Definition
high ~1mil nephrons, capillary balls
Term
glomerules membrane permeability
Definition
is high, capillaries 1000x more porous then normal caps, lots of small holes, leakey
Term
glomerules filtartion pressure
Definition
hydrostatic-osmotic, leaves hydrostatic pressure, returns osmotic pressure, osmotic and hydrostatic are usually equal so you must raise hydrostatic pressure
Term
glomeruler capillary blood pressure
Definition
relatively high compared to other capillaries, and can tolerate high pressures
Term
glomeruler filtration rate
Definition
to raise it change filtration pressure, risk if BP decreases filtration pressure decreases so body must make adjustments to get rid of waste body wants to conserve to conserve h20 but glomeruler must make adjustments to secrere waste
Term
glomeruler osmolariy
Definition
total amount of solutes in a liquid, reg: 300 mmOS (in afferent arteriole( death/severe dehydarion: 345, so VERY sensitive
Term
filtrate
Definition
almost all solutes but not protien go into glomerules, so becomes a protein free plasma, reg osm of glomerules is the same as affarent arteriole, requires min energy
Term
proximal conveluted tubule
Definition
reduce filtarte vol by 65%, reabsorbs mass majority (90%) of solutes we want to keep, semi permeable membrane
Term
diffusion in proximal conveluted tubule
Definition
1) actively reasbsorbs sodium, decrease osmolarity as a result of losing sodium, high flow of Na into pentubular capillaries, creating a pressure gradient and already has a semipermeable membrane, osmotic gradient 2) passive diffusion of water (osmosis) as water comes in filtrate becomes more concentrated solutes decrease solutes outside of nephron 3) passive diffusion of all solutes 4) secondary active transport symporters 5) secretion of urea and other wastes
Term
critical solutes
Definition
dont want to get rid of glucose, amino acids, vitamins, saved with pump and gradients
Term
descending limb of of loop of henle
Definition
water permeable only (passive), as we descend osmolarity in limb increases
Term
ascending limb
Definition
impremeable to water, not active transport, decrease osmolarity as we ascent, pumping sodium but h20 cant come in
Term
capillaries (below ascending limb)
Definition
deeper into medulla = increase in osmolarity, very tolerant of high osmolarity (deeper into kidney) shares Na+ with all cells around it
Term
capillaries below descending limb
Definition
change in osmolarity in the medulla is corrected here by adding h20 done by differential permability
Term
loop of henles role
Definition
is not to concentrate urine but to allow 15% reabsorbtion of H20 and Na+ and created by a osmotic gradient in medulla, and increased osmolarity with increased depth
Term
distal conv. tubule
Definition
finishes processing urine but still very dilute, modifing solutes- make sure we have all our wastes and excess, not hormone based- active transport mechanisms, not plasma like anymore urine
Term
collecting duct
Definition
makes decsions based on hormones w/o hormone influence collecting duct is impermeable to water, your going to get rid of lots of fluid w/o hormone influence
Term
hormones and urine
Definition
in most cases h2o is not in excess so you want to keep water, concentrating urine, so use ADH which creates permeablity
Term
ADH and urine
Definition
secreted from post pit. peptide hormone reduces urination by opening h20 channels in collecting duct and some in DCT, and opens water chanels strictly allowing water to go through, NOT pumps just open channels, osmolarity increases as it descends CD, released in response to increase in plasma osmolarity or dehydration
Term
aldosterone in the collecting duct
Definition
steroid, adrenal cortex, released in response to 1) low blood volume 2) low BP (dehydration) works with ADH to increase response 1) turns on Na+ in collecting duct to reabsorb sodium, increasing osmolarity in capillaries forcing more reabsorption of H20,decreasing yrine output, saving Na+ directlyand h2o indirectly
Term
obligitory h20 reabsorptionj
Definition
sabes most of the h2o, must do, 160L/day
Term
facultated h20 reabsorption
Definition
optional decides how much h20 you need to save additionally, 10-20L/day
Term
atrial natriuretic peptide
Definition
from atrium, peptide, released when BP or BV is high (over hydrated) increase Na+ in urine by turning of Na+ pumps in collecting duct
Term
renin angiotensin mechanism
Definition
cells on affarent arterioles sense pressure (decreased BP they release renin enzyme), liver regularly releases a prehormone called angiotensinogen (precursor) (circulates in blood constantly doing nothing),
Term
angiotensinogen --> Angiotensin I
Definition
angiotensin I has no activity, an enxyme that converts angiotensinogen I --> II
Term
angiotensin II
Definition
this enxyme is primarily located in pulmpnary capillaries (II is active) also very potent vasoconstrictor, affarent arterop;es on the kidney do not have receptorts for AGII, doesnt respond to it
Term
