What is the functional unit of the kidney? |
The Nephron |
|
Categorize the glomerulus |
Especiallized capillary bed, blood enters by afferent arteriole, leaves by efferent arteriole. |
|
Fenestrated pores |
Filtration occurs |
|
At the glomerular capsule, proteins are not usually present, but glucose is. True or False |
True |
|
Most of the obligatory reabsorption of water occurs at the; |
Collecting duct |
|
Identify the affect of aldosterone on the collecting duct |
Increase retention of water |
|
Identify the hormone that regulates reabsorption of water from the collecting duct |
ADH |
|
How will ADH affect the concentration of urine produced? |
Reabsorbs the H2O NAC1-increase UREA 1increase |
|
Identify the mechanism of membrane transport that drives water through aquaporing channels |
Collecting ducts. ADH regulated aquaporing channels |
|
How will high concentrations of glucose in blood lead to elevated glucose in filtrate? |
Excess gluten in the filtrate, caused by type 1 diabetes, type 2 mellitus |
|
How will glucose in the filtrate affecet reabsorption of water in the collecting ducts? |
Glucose transporters cannot reabsorb that glucose, glucose brings more H2O back in. Increase retention if water |
|
How glucose in the filtrate affect urine volume? |
Brings more H2O back in excess urine production |
|
How qould aldosterone affect sodium reabsorption? |
Helps to keep more of the NaCl (sodium) water follows sodium |
|
How would aldosterone affect water reabsorption in the collecting ducts? |
Water follows the sodium out, increase bloid volume, increase blood pressure |
