Cards

Term
Cortical/superficial Nephron
Definition

1. Loop of Henle does not dip far

2. Renal corpuscle in Renal Cortex

3. Low Filtration Rate

Term
Juxta Medullary Nephron
Definition

1. Long loop of Henle

2. Renal Corpuscle in cortico medullary Junction

3. High Filtration Rate

4. Vasa recta

 

More of these = more water retention

Term
Vasa Recta
Definition
Capillary Beds near loops of Henle that help in Concentrating or Diluting Urine
Term
Basement Membrane
Definition
matrix protein of glomulurus that stops plasma protein filtration
Term
Juxtaglomerular Apparatus
Definition

1. Macula Densa cells

2. renin producing cells

3. extra glomerular cells-mesangial cells (modified smooth muscle)

Term
Juxtaglomerular Cells
Definition
secrete renin into afferent arterioles
Term
Proximal convoluted tubule
Definition

-site of most Na active transport because of large mitochondrial number supplying E.

Na/K ATPase creates gradient for

-Na/H antiport

-Na/Glucose symporter

-Na/AA symporter

Term
Thin Ascending Limp of Henle's Loop
Definition
Not permeable to water
Term
Thick Ascending Limb of Henel's Loop
Definition

-Not permeable to Water

-Diluting Segment

-Symport of Na, Cl, K

 

Paracellular transport:

Na K Ca Mg

Term
Furosemide
Definition

Inhibits Na reabsorption in Loop of Henle

leading to

excretion of water and Na

Term
Early Distal Tubule
Definition

Na and Cl reabsorption

Not permeable to water

Term
Distal Convoluted Tubule & Collecting Duct
Definition
Location of Principal Cells and Intercalated Cells
Term
Principal Cells
Definition

ENac channel

Na & Water absorption

Term
Amiloride
Definition

ENac inhibitor in Principal Cells

-potassium sparing diuretic

 

-Na reabsorption inhibited ->less negative potential in Lumen -> potassium (+) is not driven into lumen -> saved in system

 

With ADH (vasopressin) -> water absorption

Term
Intercalated Cells
Definition

Acid/Base Balance

H/K ATPase

Term
Renin
Definition

-Excreted during Low blood pressure

-Induces cleavage of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II

-Constriction of Renal Arterioles

Term

Acetazolamide

(Diamox)

Definition
Inhibitor of CA in proximal tubule
Term
Furosemide
Definition
Inhibitor of Na, K, Cl cotransporter in Thick ascending limb
Term
Thiazides
Definition
Distal convoluted tubule inhibitor of Na, Cl
Term
Amiloride
Definition
ENac channel inhibitor. K saving. Diuretic
Term
Angiotensin II
Definition

Major Stimulus: increased renin

Nephron Site: PT

Effect on Transport: increased NaCl & Water reabsorption

Term
Aldosterone
Definition

Major Stimulus: Increased Angiotensin II & Plasma K

Nephron Site: TAL, DT/CD

Effect: Increased NaCl & Water Reabsorption

Term
ANP
Definition

Major Stimulus: Increased BP & ECV

Nephron Site: CD

Effect: Decreased water & NaCl reabsorption

Term
Sympathetic Nerves
Definition

Major Stimulus: decreased ECV

Nephron Site: PT, TAL, DT/CD

Effect: increased NaCl & water reabsorption

Term
Dopamine
Definition

Major Stimulus: Increased ECV

Nephron Site: PT

Effect: Decreased water & NaCl reabsorption

Term
ADH
Definition

Major Stimulus: increased plasma osmolality, decreased ECV

 

Nephron Site: DT/CD

 

Effect: Increased water reabsorption
