Define glomerular filtration rate and describe the extrinsic (SNS) and intrinsic (autoregulation) mechanisms for regulating GFR.

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the volume of filtrate produced by both kidneys per minute -Avg. for men: 125 ml/min -Avg. for women: 115 ml/min The extrinsic (SNS) mechanisms include neural and hormonal controls. The goal of extrinsic controls is to maintain systemic BP. Neural: -Low BP causes SNS to release epinephrine and norepinephrine, causing vasoconstriction, decreasing GFR, increasing blood volume + BP Hormonal: -The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System -Angiotensin II produced in response to salt deficit and low BV and BP The intrinsic (autoregulation) mechanisms include myogenic and tubuloglomerular controls. The goal of intrinsic controls is to maintain stable GFR. Myogenic: -If BP is high, afferent arterioles are stretched, and GFR is high. Stretching causes vasoconstriction, GFR drops to normal. -If BP falls, afferent arterioles are not stretched, and GFR is low. Dilation causes GFR to rise back to normal. Tubuloglomerular: -When GFR increases, there is not enough time for reabsorption of NaCl, making high NaCl in filtrate -Macula densa cells release vasoconstrictor chemicals to constrict afferent arterioles, reducing blood flow, and decreasing GFR -When GFR decreases, there is much time for reabsorption of NaCl, making low NaCl in filtrate -Macula densa cells do not release vasoconstrictors, afferent arterioles vasodilate, increasing blood flow, and increasing GFR

Describe the coupling of glucose and sodium reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule

Solvent drag in the small intestine is caused by

Increased osmolarity of the extracellular fluid (ECF) due to increased glucose reabsorption

Explain the importance of intrinsic factor and vitB12 in RBC formation

Intrinsic factor is necessary for Vitamin B12 absorption in small intestine, which is needed for RBC production. The binding of intrinsic factor to B12 allows it to be absorbed more than without it.

Describe the physical characteristics of the kidneys, ureters, the urinary bladder, the urethra (main players).

Kidneys are *bean-shaped and can be found on both right and left sides of the body, most noticeably with adrenal glands sitting on top of each. *laterally convex, medial indentation (renal hilum) They are composed of renal cortex and medulla. Nephrons are located in the renal cortex and collecting ducts of nephrons travel to the renal medulla (renal pyramids). They also have renal arteries and renal veins connected near the ureters. The kidney is made up of simple cuboidal epithelial cells. Ureters are thin tube-like structures connected to the center of the kidney and travel far down the body on both right and left sides and dumps urine into the urinary bladder. It starts at the renal pelvis of the kidney. The urinary bladder is a circular organ made up of transitional epithelium, allowing massive stretch properties to allow filling of urine and storage until appropriate time to get rid of urine. The urethra is a tube-like structure that transports urine from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body. In males, it is about 18 cm and 3-4 cm in females.

If the liver was severely damaged, digestion of _______ would be most affected.

Lipids

The collecting duct becomes more permeable to water, resulting in a small volume of concentrated urine

Describe what is being absorbed in the descending limb of henle and in the ascending limb of henle. This called the countercurrent multiplier (know this term). Describe the mechanics of this system.

The descending loop of Henle is permeable to water! -impermeable to salt The thick and thin parts of the ascending loop of Henle is permeable to salt! -impermeable to water Thick-specific: -actively transports salts out of filtrate Countercurrent multiplier means that it goes in opposite directions, as descending and ascending limbs are opposites, and is used to concentrate urine in the kidneys by the nephrons.

Describe the components of the nephron (include blood supply associated with the nephron) and what each part of the nephron is responsible for

The glomerulus is a knot of capillaries *blood supply* that performs nonspecific filtration that filters small solutes from the blood. The glomerular capsule (Bowman's capsule) is a cup-shaped sac surrounding the glomerulus that collects the material that is filtered from the blood through the walls of the glomerulus. The proximal convoluted tubule reabsorbs water, ions, nutrients and removes toxins and adjusts filtrate pH. The descending loop of Henle contains aquaporins that allow water to pass from the filtrate into the interstitial fluid. The ascending loop of Henle reabsorbs sodium and chlorine from the filtrate into the interstitial fluid. The distal convoluted tubule selectively secretes and absorbs different ions to maintain blood pH and electrolyte balance. The collecting duct reabsorbs solutes and water from the filtrate.

List the functions of and the main players in the renal system.

The renal system (urinary system) filters blood by removing nitrogenous wastes, eliminates metabolic wastes and excesses from the body, and retains essential substances for proper body functioning. The main players include the kidneys that maintain electrolyte, acid-base, and fluid balances of the blood. When these organs malfunction, homeostasis fails and can lead to death if left uncorrected. The kidneys are complex organs composed of countless nephrons (functional unit) that form and collect urine, passed through the ureters out of the kidney, to the urinary bladder to be stored, and transported out of the body by the urethra. Main players include kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.

Which of the following is NOT true of tubular reabsorption and secretion? Tubular reabsorption and secretion both involve transcellular and paracellular routes Tubular reabsorption brings substances back into the blood from the tubular fluid, while tubular secretion moves substances into the tubular fluid from the blood Tubular secretion occurs only in the glomerulus, and tubular reabsorption occurs only in the proximal and distal convoluted tubules Can reach transport maximum when transport proteins are saturated All of the above are true

Tubular secretion occurs only in the glomerulus, and tubular reabsorption occurs only in the proximal and distal convoluted tubules
