Cards

Term
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6H2O + 6CO2 + energy
Definition
Glucose catabolic reaction
Term

inefficient, 70%

heat 

Definition
Catabolism is _____. ____% of energy liberated during breakdown of organic comounds is lost as ____
Term
heat loss and heat production (metabolism)
Definition
To maintain temp, body must balance ___
Term

1. Conduction - thermal energy goes down conc. gradient via contact b/w 2 surfaces

2. Convection - transfer of energy b/w object and medium, and then movement of medium away to restore original conc gradient

3. Radiation - hot objs radiate heat to cooler ones

4. Evaporation - energy is spent to convert sweat to vapor (salts are also lost) 

Definition
4 forms of heat loss
Term
Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
Definition
Minimal level of heat production
Term

1. Nonshivering - increase Na/K pumping via thyroxine

2. Shivering - rhythmical stimulation of different motor units such that overall muscle contraction is minimized.  Antagonistic pairs etc

 

 

Under hypothalamic control

1. peripheral receptors

2. central receptors 

 

Definition

In cold climates, two forms of thermogenesis:

 

These are controlled by ____ and 2 types or receptors: 

Term
capsule
Definition
Fibrous covering of kidney
Term
hilum
Definition
Medial entry area of renal artery, vein, lymphatics, nerves, and ureteral system
Term
cortex
Definition
Outer portion of renal tissue containing corpuscles, proximal and distal tubules, and outer portions of loops of Henle and collecting ducts
Term
Medulla
Definition
Inner portion of renal tissue containing inner parts of loops of Henle and collecting ducts
Term

Renal pyramids

 

Definition

Groups (7-15) of nephritic tissue in the shape of inverted cones 

Term
Renal columns
Definition
Area b/w adjacent pyramids through which interlobar blood vessels pass
Term
Renal papillae
Definition
Innermost portion of each pyramid that protrudes into the minor calyces
Term

1. Minor calyces - from collecting ducts in papillae

2. Major calyces  - from 2 or more minor calyces

3. Renal pelvis - from the 4-8 major calyces

4. Ureter - conducts urine from renal pelvis to urinary bladder 

Definition
Parts of the urinary tract and where they collect urine from
Term
Interlobar vessels
Definition
Vasculature that passes b/w the renal pyramids
Term
arcuate vessels
Definition
Vasculature that interconencts interlobar vessels at junction of medulla and cortex
Term
interlobular vessels
Definition
Vasculature that protrudes into cortex from arcuate vessels
Term
afferent arterioles
Definition
Vasculature that directs blood to each glomerulus
Term
Glomerular capillaries
Definition
Site of filtration that forms urine
Term
Efferent arterioles
Definition
Receives blood from glomerulus; used to control pressure in capillaries and blood flow
Term
Peritubular capillaries
Definition
Vasculature that surround tubules; reabsorb fluids and solutes
Term
Venules
Definition
Vasculature that returns blood to interlobular veins
Term
Renal corpuscle and renal tubules
Definition
2 main parts of nephron
Term

1. glomerulus - tuft of leaky capillaries that lose plasma (filtrate)

2. Bowman's capsule - surrounds glomerulus; acts as collecting chamber for glomerular filtrate 

Definition
Parts of renal corpuscle
Term

1. proximal tubule - in cortex, convoluted; collects fluid from Bowman's capsule

2. Loop of Henle - long tubular loop that conducts fluid from proximal tubule into medulla and then back into cortex

3.  Distal tubule - in cortex; mostly convoluted; receives fluid from loop of Henle and passes it to collecting ducts

Definition
3 Parts of renal tubules
Term

1. Collecting ducts - conduct fluid from distal tubules in cortex thru renal pyramids in medulla and empty into minor calyces at tipsof papillae

2. Calyces, renal pelvies, ureters

 

Definition
Collecting apparatus of kidneys
Term

1. Pores in glomerular capillaries

2. Basement membrane - glycoproteins and negative charge

3. Visceral layer of Bowman's capsule - podocytes (foot cells) and pedicels (footplates) - interdigitate to form a sieve 

Definition
Elements of glomerular filtration
Term

1. Blood pressure (ultratfiltration)

2. Net filtration pressue = (blood pressure - osmotic back pressure) = 10 mmHg 

Definition
Driving forces behin glomerular filtration (2)
Term

115-125 ml/min

180 L (45 gallons)/day

5 liters

 40 mins

99% 

 

Definition

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is ____ ml/min

___L (___ gallons)/day

blood vol = ___ L 

Total blood volume is filtered every ____ mins

___% of filtrate is reabsorbed 

Term

Sympathetic innervation of afferent arteriole

sympathetic activity = vasoconstriction = reduce GFR

a. BP fall in glomerulus (less ultrafiltration)

b. Blood flow slows, so more time for osmotic back flow 

Definition

___ regulates GFR

Increase in ____ = _____ = _____

Results in: (2)
