,phosphorus and calcium are _______ related - Answer:
Inversly
Calcium __________ in renal failure, so phosphorus
______________ - Answer: Decreases, increases
Functions: filtration, reabsorption, secretion - Answer:
Nephron
The first step in urine formation in which substances in blood
pass through the filtration membrane and the filtrate enters
the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron. - Answer:
glomerular filtration
amount of filtrate formed in all the renal corpuscles of both
kidneys each minute; filtration of plasma per unit of time;
directly related to the perfusion pressure in the glomerular
capillaries; filtrate enters proximal tubule @ 125ml/min -
Answer: Glomerular filtration rate GFR
first section of the renal tubule that the blood flows through;
Reabsorbs all the glucose and reabsorbs amino acids, most of
the HCO3, a, Cl, phosphate, K, H20; If serum glucose is >180
mg/dL, the renal threshold for glucose is exceeded and results
in glucosuria and damage associated with DM; When
stimulated by the parathyroid hormone, this tubule excretes
phosphate; The site of action for angiotensin II, which
, stimulates Na, H20, and Bicarb reabsorption - Answer:
proximal convoluted tubule
section of nephron tubing that extends from proximal tubule;
impermeable to Na, passively reabsorbs water and
concentrates urine - Answer: Descending loop of Henle
section of nephron tubing that extends from descending loop
of henle; actively reabsorbs Na, K, Cl; Induces the
reabsorption of magnesium and Ca and is IMPEREABLE to
water -> making the urine more dilute - Answer: ascending
loop of henle
Between the descending loop of Henle and the collecting duct;
Selective reabsorption and secretion occur here, actively
reabsorbs Na; Impermeable to water, making urine more
dilute; Parathyroid hormone increases Ca reabsorption here -
Answer: distal convoluted tubule
Extends from the distal convoluted tubule and connects with
the renal pyramids; Reabsorbs Na in exchange for K and H+;
this process is regulated by the hormone aldosterone and is
the site of action for Antidiuretic hormone as well - Answer:
Collecting tubule
part of Juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) that is a collection of
cells that monitor renal pressure and help to maintain normal
GFR through the release of RENIN
