2. Toxic byproduct ammonium


3. Important for making things/homeostasis

Urea Cycle

Renal blood vessels

Renal artery --> segmental --> Interlobar -->Arcuate --> Interlobular --> Afferent --> Glomerulus --> Efferent --> Peritubular capillaries --> venules -->Interlobular vein --> Arcuate --> Interlobar --> Renal vein

Renal corpuscle

Where filtrate produced.


Glomerulus - knot of capillaries, filtration membrane of fenestrated cap, dense layer, filtration slits


Bowman's capsule - surrounds glom., collects filtrate & guides down tubule system

PCT

Cuboidal cells w/microvilli for surface area diffusion. Majority of reabsorption happens here (99% nutrients, 60-70% water 60-70% Na+ & Cl-)

Nephron loop, descending

Reabsorb water, concentrates tubular fluid.


Permeable to water, but not solutes.

Nephron loop, ascending

Active ion reabsorption, maintain osmotic gradient.


Not permeable to water.

DCT

Reabsorb water per ADH, secrete wastes, selective reabsorption of Na+ and Ca2+

Collection ducts

Water reabsorption per hormonal control, finalize concentration of urine.

Juxtaglomerular apparatus

Cells btwn afferent, efferent, glomerulus & DCT, produce:


Reinin - enzyme converts angio due to decrease in GFR


EPO - stim production RBCs due to low O2

Passive reabsorption

Osmosis (water follows salt), facilitated diffusion (Na+ leak channels), cotransport (Na+ & glucose), countertransport (Na+ out of tube fluid, H+ in)

Active reabsorption

Exchange pumps, require ATP (3 Na+ out of tube fluid 2 K+ in)

Carrier-mediated reabsorption

Specific solutes bind to specific carriers, one direction, can be saturated

Renal Function

alkalosis

pH above 7.45

volatile acids

acids can leave solution & enter atmosphere

fixed acids

organic acids

byproducts of metabolism

Protein Buffer system

Fast acting, but limited response.


Proteins in cells/plasma can bind H+ on ends/carboxyl group can dissociate to provide H+.


Hb can take up CO2/H+ to quickly buffer blood.



Carbonic Acid Buffer system

Strongest, most powerful, uses lungs.




Lungs <=> CO2 + H2O <=>H2CO3 <=> H+ + HCO3 <=> ||Na+ + HCO3 <=> NaHCO3 (bicarb reserve)||

Phosphate Buffer system

Important for buffering ICF & urine.


H+ combines with HPO42 to form H2PO4.


Na2HPO4 in cell reserve can provide HPO4 also.




H2PO4 <=> H+ + PO42 and 2Na+ + HPO42 <=> Na2HPO4

Respiratory acidosis

Inability to remove CO2 created. Lower pH, up PCO2. Mainly carbonic-acid buffer system.



RR up, kidneys secrete H+, other buffers take H+, bicarb reserve mobilizes.

Respiratory alkalosis

Hyperventilation gets rid of CO2. Up pH, lowers PCO2.



RR down, kidneys secrete HCO3, other buffers release H+, bicarb goes back in reserve.

Metabolic acidosis

Lactic acidosis (not enough O2) or keto acidosis (diabetes/starvation. Up H+, lowers pH.


Severe diarrhea can cause HCO3 loss, lower pH. If kidneys can't excrete H+ (diuretics, glomerulonephritis). Na+ needs reabsorbed to excrete H+.

Metabolic alkalosis

Rare, but very deadly. Alkaline tide from secretion of HCl in stomach, severe vomiting.




RR down, urine HCO3 up. Control vomiting, possibly administer ammonium cholride NH4Cl
