______ of what we filter we keep - ANSWER -90%
Where in the kidney does urine production occur? - ANSWER -the nephron
porous capillary bed
- filtration like a strainer - ANSWER -glomerulus
4 distinct regions of the renal tubule: - ANSWER -1) Bowman's capsule
2) PCT (proximal tubule)
3) Loop of Henle (reabsorption)
4) DCT (distal tubule)
What captures the filtrate from the glomerulus? - ANSWER -Bowman's capsule
What helps with reabsorption? - ANSWER -Loop of Henle
renal tubules (PCT and DCT):
What surround the PCT and DCT to help reabsorb nutrients from filtrate and help
supply blood? - ANSWER -peritubular capillaries
urine production steps - ANSWER -1. glomerular filtration
2. capsular reabsorption
3. tubular secretion
- production of filtrate = renal blood flow (Q)
- not filtered at glomerulus (too large)
contains:
- formed elements or cellular parts of the blood (RBCs, WBCs, platelets)
- proteins
- creates FILTRATE
- BP forces water and solutes out of capillaries into capsular space - ANSWER -
Glomerular Filtration
, - filtrate -> blood (peritubular capillaries)
- purpose is to keep what we need to keep and to maintain homeostasis
- reclaim essential substances from filtrate
- selective transport of substance back to the bloodstream - ANSWER -Capsular
Reabsorption
- blood (peritubular capillaries) -> filtrate
- LOSE something that is in excess
- opposite of reabsorption - ANSWER -Tubular Secretion
- the volume of filtrate produced by both kidneys per minute
- BP and GFR are positively correlated
- highly regulated
- just bc you filter it does NOT mean you get rid of it (reabsorption)
- input=output - ANSWER -glomerular filtration rate
normal glomerular filtration rate (GFR) - ANSWER -90mlmin(110-120ml/min)
~180L/day
GFR: bleeding - ANSWER -reduce GFR bc it decreases BV which decreases renal
Q
What drives filtration? - ANSWER -renal blood flow and blood pressure
GFR: dehydrated - ANSWER -GFR decreases b/c BV decreases -> renal Q
decreases -> UO decreases
GFR: heart attack (MI) - ANSWER -GFR decreases b/c CO decreases = decreased
renal Q
GFR: volume overload (increased BV) - ANSWER -renal Q increases -> increases
GFR -> increases UO
filtrate -> blood (KEEP) - ANSWER -tubular reabsorption
normal Na+ - ANSWER -135-145
tubular reabsorption:
Na+=140(normal) - ANSWER -- Na+ filtered at glomerulus
