Cards

Term
what does the distal convoluted tubule secrete?
Definition
H+ and K+
Term
how much sodium does the DCT reabsorb?
Definition
5%
Term
What are the special cell types called in the late DCT and the cortical collecting tubule?
Definition
Principal cells
Term
How much salt is reabsorbed in the cortical collecting tubule?
Definition
3%
Term
what kind of cells (surrounding afferent arteriole) sense BP? What do they release when BP is low?
Definition
Granular cells
Renin
Term
what does renin activate?
Definition
angiotensinogen
Term
What part of the RAAS system stimulates thirst?
Definition
Angiotensin II
Term
where does angiotensinogin come from?
Definition
the liver
Term
What hormone does angiotensinogen II act upon?
Definition
Vasopressin (to retain water) **remember renin is released in response to low BP
Term
what does angiotensin II do to smooth muscle in arterioles?
Definition
vasoconstriction
Term
where does reabsorption of sodium (influenced by aldosterone) take place?
Definition
principal cells of cortical collecting tubule
Term
how does aldosterone work? *hint steroid
Definition
affects gene regulation>>produces proteins that promote sodium reabsorption
Term
High levels of K+ stimulate the release of...
Definition
aldosterone
Term
3 substances that decrease sodium reabsorption:
Definition
prostaglandins, bradykinins, and NO
Term
Water reabsorption is CONTROLLED by:
Definition
ADH
Term
normal rate of water reabsorption:
Definition
1.5 L/day
Term
what does ADH do to middle and outer collecting duct cells?
Definition
put aquaporins in>>increases permeability to water
Term
ADH promotes the recycling of:
Definition
urea (urea moves out into interstitial space, water follows, causes urine to be concentrated and hypertonic)
Term
where is potassium secreted?
Definition
only in cortical collecting tubule
Term
what is main basic function of diuretics
Definition
to block sodium reabsorption
Term
how do CA inhibitors work and what disease are they used for
Definition
block the transport of bicarbonate out of proximal convoluted tubule>>less sodium reabsorption
glaucoma
Term
How do Loop-diuretics work (Lasix)?
Definition
inhibit sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter
Term
how do thiazides work?
Definition
inhibit sodium-chloride transporter in the distal tubule
