Do positively or negatively charged molecules filter more readily across the glomerular membrane?

positively charged •For any given molecular radius (even if smaller than the pores of the molecular membrane), positively charged molecules are filtered much more readily than negatively charged molecules •This is due to the strong negative electric charge of the basement membrane and the outer epithelial cells which provide an important means for restricting large negatively charged molecules (including plasma proteins) •With kidney disease, the basement membrane can be destroyed or damaged, allowing the loss of its negative charge and therefore the filtration of proteins such as albumin to be filtered •They will appear in the urine; this is proteinuria or albuminuria

•125 mL/min; net filtration pressure is experimentally calculated to be 10 mmHg

causes of hyponatremia

•A primary loss of NaCl usually --> hyponatremia and dehydration; associated with decreased ECF volume Conditions: diarrhea, vomiting, overuse of diuretics (inhibit the kidney's ability to conserve Na), Addison's disease (from decreased secretion of aldosterone, impairing the kidney's ability to reabsorb Na •Excess water --> dilution of Na in the ECF --> hyponatremia and overhydration Conditions: excessive secretion of ADH (causes kidney tubules to reabsorb more water)

Those that have glomeruli in the outer cortex are called

•CORTICAL nephrons •These have short loops of Henle, extending only a short distance into the medulla; comprise 70-80% of nephrons

Those that have glomeruli that lie deep in the renal cortex near the medulla are called

•JUXTAMEDULLARY nephrons •These have long loops of Henle that dip deep into the medulla (sometimes all the way to the tips of the renal papillae); comprise 20-30% of nephrons

causes of hypernatremia

•Primary loss of water from the ECF --> hypernatremia: and dehydration DI (inability to secrete ADH) •Excessive sodium in the ECF ---> hypernatremia and overhydration This is because this will cause at least some degree of water retention by the kidneys (the Na retention caused by an increase in aldosterone will also stimulate secretion of ADH, causing the kidneys to reabsorb greater amounts of water... so only mild case) Conditions: excessive secretion of aldosterone (retains Na), causes mild degree; Cushing's disease (cortisol is secreted from adrenal cortex, along with aldosterone)

•interlobar arteries, arcuate arteries, interlobular arteries (aka radial arteries), and afferent arterioles •Afferent arterioles lead to the glomerular capillaries •This is where large amounts of fluid and solutes (except for those plasma proteins!) are filtered to begin formation of urine

The bladder neck is about 2-3 cm long; wall is composed of detrusor muscle interlaced with elastic tissue; the muscle here is called the

•internal sphincter •Its normal tone keeps bladder neck and posterior urethra empty of urine and prevents bladder emptying until the pressure in the body of the bladder rises above a critical threshold

Fluid filtered from the glomerular capillaries flows into Bowman's capsule, then into the

•proximal tubule (lies in the kidney cortex) •From there, fluid flows into the loop of Henle (which dips into the kidney medulla) •Each loop contains a descending and ascending limb •Walls of the descending limb and lower end of the ascending limb are very thin (this is the thin segment of the loop of Henle) •After the ascending limb returns partway to the kidney cortex, its wall becomes much thicker (this is the thick segment of the ascending limb)
