Where the tubule (end of TAL and beginning of DCT) makes contact with originating glomerulus; involved in tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism for autoregulation of renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rateContains macula densa (between afferent and efferent arterioles) involved in sensing tubular flow and ionic concentrationContains juxtaglomerular/granula cells (in afferent arteriole wall close to glomerulus) that secrete reninContains extraglomerular mesangial cells (involved in support and signalling) TERM 17
DEFINITION 17 renal artery -- afferent arterioles -- bowman's capsule (capillary network aka tuft) -- efferent arteriole -- peritubular capillaries (branches out and surrounds tubular segments; carry reabsorbed water and electrolytes back to circulation) -- renal veinin juxtamedullary nephron, the peritubular capillaries are extended (called vasa recta) and form hairpin loops next to the Loop of Henle TERM 18
DEFINITION 18 Mainly sympatheticTarget vasculatures = vasoconstriction via adenoreceptor alphaTarget PT/TAL/Distal nephron = increase Na+ reabsorption via adenoreceptor alpha and betaTarget juxtaglomerular (granular) cells = secretion of renin via beta adenoreceptor TERM 19
DEFINITION 19 20-25% of cardiac output passes through the kidneys TERM 20
DEFINITION 20 3-5 mL/min/g of tissue or 1-1.2 L/min for both kidneys
This is because it has fewer capillaries TERM 22
DEFINITION 22 Volume of plasma that is completely cleared of substance X per unit timeCan be used to estimate renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rateRatio of excretory rate of substance X and its plasma concetration:Cx = (Ux)(V)/(Px)Ux = urinary [x] (mg/mL)V = urinary flow rate (mL/min)Px = plasma [x] (mg/mL)UxV = urinary excretory rate of X (mg/mL) TERM 23
DEFINITION 23 Para-aminohippuric acid (PAH)It is used because it is almost completely cleared by the kidneys (doesn't re-enter the blood) TERM 24
DEFINITION 24 Based on Fick's principle of conservation of mass; the rate of a substance moving into the kidneys equals the sum of the rate of the substance moving out and being taken up by the kidneys. The kidneys only filter plasma so the calculation is only used for plasmaInput of X = Output of X + Taken up X(RPF)(Px arterial) = (RPF)(Px venous) + V(Ux)PAH is almost completely cleared so (RPF)(Px venous) = 0RFP = (Upah)(V)/(Ppah) = Cpah TERM 25
DEFINITION 25 PAH is almost completely cleared, but some remains (not 100% cleared) so the RPF measured using PAH clearance is referred to as the "effective" RPFEstimated RPF = 625 mL/min
Filtrate generated by the glomerulus; ionic composition similar to plasma except with negligible amounts of macromolecules (proteins, lipids) TERM 32
DEFINITION 32 Mesangial cells likely provide support for capillary network TERM 33
DEFINITION 33 Mesangial cells can contract and relax to increase or decrease filtration surface and therefore GFR TERM 34
DEFINITION 34 Glomerular capillary endothelium - has fenestrations (slits) through which filtrate can pass but large molecules cannotGlomerular basement membrane - collagen and proteoglycans but no cellsPodocyte pedicles (legs that wrap around capillaires) aka epithelial cells - have filtration slits (aka diaphragm) between pedicles TERM 35
DEFINITION 35 Radii less than 15 AMolecular weight less than 5000 DaCations move through the barrier easier b/c the membane is lined with negative chargesNeutral molecules move though second easiestAnions move through with the most difficulty
To repel proteins (which are normally negatively charged) so as to not have them get stuck the the filtration barrier and block filtration TERM 37
DEFINITION 37 Freely filtered, doesn't alter GFR, not produced by the kidney, not metabolized by the kidney, not reabsorbed or secreted by the nephron, not toxicInulin is used; estimate GFR using the clearance (NOT 100%, some flows back to system) of insulin b/c inulin is only filtered by the nephron and filtered inulin is exreted into the urin so filtration rate of inulin = excretory rate of inulinCreatinine clearance could also be used TERM 38
DEFINITION 38 Starlings forces: the movement of fluid across a capillary membrane is governed by the balance of oncotic pressure and hydrostatic pressure across the membrane4 forces:Pgc = glomerular cap hydrostatic P --> force water out of cappi(gc) = glomerular cap oncotic pressure --> draws water into capPbs = hydrostatic P of bowman's space --> force water into cappi(bs) = oncotic P of bowman's space --> draws water out of cap TERM 39
DEFINITION 39 It's 0 b/c oncotic pressure is generated by macromolecules, of which there are none in the bowman's spacehydrostatic pressure is generated by water, though so P(bs) isn't 0 TERM 40
DEFINITION 40 Puf = Pgc - Pbs - pi(gc)in mmHgq (rate of fluid movement across capillary) = Kf * Pufwhere Kf is filtration coefficient depending on the filtration SA and memrbane permeabilityGRF = Kf*Puf
Paracellular (between cells) or transcellular (across cells) pathway TERM 47
DEFINITION 47 Na/K ATPase TERM 48

DEFINITION 49 It is the major electrolyte in maintaining ECFV and plasma osmolality TERM 50
DEFINITION 50 see next slide
Approximately 2/3 of the filtered Na+ and water are reabsorbed in the PT.Water reabsorption is usually a consequence of increased osmotic gradient resulting from Na
DEFINITION 52 ADH (antidieuretic hormone) stimulates Na+ reabsorption in the TALAldosterone increases reabsorption of Na+ in late DT and CD TERM 53
DEFINITION 53 ADH (antidieuretic hormone) acts on basolateral V receptors = increase water permeability in DT and CD by increasing insertion of water channels (aquaporin 2) into apical membraneH2O also follows Na+ gradient (more sodium in peritubular space = more H2O travel through leaky junctions of PT) TERM 54
DEFINITION 54 Starlings forcesq = KfPuf = Kf(Pps - Ppc + Pipc)Pps = hydrostatic pressure of peritubular spacePpc = hydrostatic pressure of peritubular capillaryPi pc = osmotic pressure of peritubular capillary TERM 55
DEFINITION 55 Proximal tubule: osmotic H2O movement (apical and basolateral membrane have aquaportin 1)Distal tubule/collecting duct: ADH mediated H2O movment (aquaporin 2 on apical membrane; aquaportin 3 and 4 on basolateral)
Na/K/2Cl cotransporter (major): side effect of build up of intracellular K in intracellular space (Na/K pump and this transporter) = leak K into lumen = more positive lumen = easier for cations (ie. Mg) to cross into peritubular space via paracellular pathway down electrochem gradientNa/H exchanger TERM 62
DEFINITION 62 Na/Cl symporter TERM 63
DEFINITION 63 2 types of epithelial cells in late DT/CD: intercalated (alpha and beta) cells and principal cellsPrincipal cells = H2O and Na reabsorption via epithelial sodium channel (aldosterone increases Na reabsorption by increasing opening prob, activity and membrane insertion of these channels) TERM 64
DEFINITION 64 Distal nephron (DT and CD); secrete excess K during normal/increased K intake; reabsorption during K depletion TERM 65 DEFINITION 65 see next slide
Increased plasma concentration of K = more K enters "principal" renal epithelial cells from paracellular space (?) = secreted by K channel and Na reabsorbed to maintain electroneutralityAlso secreted through K/Cl cotransporter TERM 67
DEFINITION 67 increased transepithelial potential difference (lumen is more negative)Increased aldosterone secretion induced by increase in plasma K concentration (stimulates K reabsorption = more K to be secreted)Increased tubular flow rate (wash out secreted K from secreted site = more favorable electrochem gradient = more K secreted) TERM 68
DEFINITION 68 Reabsorbed in alpha-intercalated cells by H/K-ATPase then passively into pericellular space (during K depletion) TERM 69
DEFINITION 69 Because the distal tubule/collecting duct will absorb rather than secrete K under depeletion conditions TERM 70
DEFINITION 70 Kidneys and lungs
pH = pKa + log (A-/HA)where pKa is the dissociation constant of a particular acid TERM 77
DEFINITION 77 H2O + CO2 <---CA---> H2CO3 <-----> H+ + HCO3-where CA is carbonic anhydrase TERM 78
DEFINITION 78 The solubility of a gas in solution at a given temperature is directly proportional to its partial pressure in equilibrium with a the particular liquidThis allows us to transform the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to relate to HCO3 and CO TERM 79
DEFINITION 79 see next slide TERM 80
DEFINITION 80 If the log ratio is maintained at 20:1, the pH will always be 7.4 (given pKa of the buffering system is constant)Plasma CO2 concentration maintained by respiration, plasma HCO3- maintained by reabsorption of filtered HCO3- and generation of new HCO3-NOTE: PO2 should be PCO
Increased PCO2 (ie. by hyperventilation)Compensate by renal retention/creation of HCO3- TERM 82
DEFINITION 82 Low H+ (or high HCO3) (ie. by vomiting, nasogastric suction and dieuretic therapy)Compensate by decreasing alveolar ventilation ie. hypoventialtion (less ventilation) = increase PCO TERM 83
DEFINITION 83 Reabsorption of filtered HCO3Generation of new HCO3 by formation of titratable acid and NH4+Excretion of H as salts of titratable acids and NH4+Secretion of HCO3 under extreme conditions TERM 84
DEFINITION 84 99% is reabsorbed (85% in PT, 10% in TAL, 5% in CD); amount reabsorbed depends on filter load = GRF*P(HCO3)Decreased filter load = increased pH = decrease in PCO TERM 85
DEFINITION 85 No, HCO is converted into CO2 in the lumen and enters the cell by diffusion before being converted back into HCO3Also results in excretion of 1 H+
