G. Glomerular (Bowman's) Capsule

H. Glomerular Filtration
Glomerular
capillaries & ________________ form a
filter for blood
Glomerular Caps are ____________--have large
pores between its endothelial cells
100-400 times more permeable than other Caps
Small enough to keep RBCs, platelets, & WBCs
from passing
H. Glomerular Filtration continued
To
enter tubule
filtrate must
pass through
narrow
______________
Fig 17.8
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
volume
of filtrate produced by both kidneys/min
Averages ________ in women; 125 ml/min in men
Totals about 180L/day (____________)
So most filtered water must be reabsorbed or
death would ensue from water lost through
urination
controlled
by extrinsic & intrinsic
_______________) mechanisms
Vasoconstriction or dilation of afferent
arterioles affects rate of blood flow to glomeruli
& thus ________
I. Sympathetic Effects
Sympathetic
activity constricts
____________
Helps maintain
BP & shunts
blood to ______
_____________
Fig 17.11
J. ______________ of Salt &
H20 by Glomerular Capsule
About
180 L/day of
ultrafiltrate produced;
only 1–2 L of urine
excreted/24 hours
Minimum of 400
ml/day urine
necessary to excrete
metabolic wastes
(________________

•Return of filtered molecules is called _______________
K. Loop of _________
1. ______________
2. ______________
permeable
Impermeable to
H20; permeable to
___
to ___, salt
Fig 17.17
L. Collecting Duct (CD)
Plays
important role in _____
________________
Is impermeable to salt in
medulla
Permeability to H20 depends
on levels of _____
__________
Post pituitary
___________
___________
Water drawn
out of
___________
M. Renal Clearance
Refers
to ability of kidney to remove substances from
_______ & excrete them in ________
Occurs by filtration & by ___________
Many drugs, toxins, &
metabolites are secreted by
organic anion transporters of
the PCT
Thus 40-60% of filtered urea is always ___________
Fig 17.22
Only ______ of blood is filtered
N. Glucose & Amino
Acid Reabsorption
glucose
& amino acids are _____________________
Occurs in ____
______________- presence of glucose in urine
Occurs in ______________when exceed
renal plasma threshold (> 180-200mg/100ml
plasma)
_________________ occurs when
hyperglycemia results in _________________
O. Hormonal Effects
1. ________________
• 90% filtered Na+ & K+ reabsorbed ______________
• 80% of remaining Na+ is reabsorbed in
DCT & cortical CD
controls
K+
secretion & ___
____________
only
way K+ ends
up in urine
•Control of plasma Na+ is important in regulation of
_________________________
•Control of plasma of K+ important in proper
function of cardiac & skeletal muscles

Is
produced by atria due to stretching of walls
Acts opposite to ____________________
Stimulates salt & H20 excretion
Acts as an endogenous _________________
P. Na+, K+, & H+ Relationship
Na+
reabsorption
creates electrical
gradient for
_____________
secretion
High extracellular H+

Q. Renal Acid-Base Regulation
help regulate blood pH by excreting H+ &/or
reabsorbing HC03 Normal urine is _______________ (pH = 5-7) because
kidneys reabsorb almost all HC03- & excrete H+
Kidneys
R. Urinary Buffers
Nephron
cannot produce urine with pH < 4.5
Excretes more H+ by buffering H+s with HPO4-2 or NH3
before excretion
Buffering reactions
HPO4-2 + H+ H2PO4 NH3 + H+ NH4+ (ammonium ion)
S. Clinical Aspects
____________

congestive heart failure, or edema
Increase volume of ________ by increasing proportion
of glomerular filtrate that is excreted

____
________ prevent H20
reabsorption in PCT when
HC0s- is reabsorbed
