Tubular reabsorption

• Many molecules and ions are reabsorbed from the tubular nephron into the blood.

How is blood volume and pressure maintained by the kidneys?

• Reabsorption of salt - increases the blood volume aldosterone promotes the excretion of K+ and the reabsorption of Na+.

How is blood volume and pressure maintained by the kidneys?(step 3)

• Reabsorption of water - due to the solute gradient, water leaves the descending limb of the loop of the nephron; then antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the pituitary plays a role in water reabsorption at the collecting duct

How is the acid-base balance maintained?

Buffers, respiratory center, but ultimately the Kidney's are responsible for mainting blood pH

??

• Trace the formation of urine through the tubular nephron.

How does aldosterone work?

Aldosterone promotes ion exchange at the distal convoluted tubules. Potassium ions (K+)are excreted and sodium ions (Na+) are reabsorbed into the blood. The release of aldosterone is set into motion by kidneys. The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a region in contact between the afferent arteriole and the distal convoluted tubule.

• How do these hormones work

Aldosterone promotes ion exchange at the distal convoluted tubules. Potassium ions (K+)are excreted and sodium ions (Na+) are reabsorbed into the blood. The release of aldosterone is set into motion by kidneys. The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a region in contact between the afferent arteriole and the distal convoluted tubule. When blood volume falls too low fir filtration occurs, the juxtaglomerular apparatus can respond by secreting renin. Renin is an enzyme that ultimately leads to secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal glands. Atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH) is secreted by the atria of the heart when cardiac cells are stretched due to increased blood volume. ANH inhibits the secretion of renin by the juxtaglomerular apparatus and the secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal glands. It's effect therefore is to promote excretion of sodium ion (Na+), called natriuresis. Normally, salt reabsorption creates osmotic gradient that causes water to be absorbed. Thus by causing salt excretion, ANH causes water excretion, too. If ANH is present, less water will be absorbed, even if ADH is also present.

How does Atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH) work?

Atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH) is secreted by the atria of the heart when cardiac cells are stretched due to increased blood volume. ANH inhibits the secretion of renin by the juxtaglomerular apparatus and the secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal glands. It's effect therefore is to promote excretion of sodium ion (Na+), called natriuresis. Normally, salt reabsorption creates osmotic gradient that causes water to be absorbed. Thus by causing salt excretion, ANH causes water excretion, too. If ANH is present, less water will be absorbed, even if ADH is also present.
