kidney functions:
regulate volume & composition of blood, blood pressure, and some aspects of metabolism
Kidneys are retroperitoneal
behind the abdominal cavity, attached to the posterior abdominal wall
Kidney Gross Structure
renal capsule, renal cortex, renal medulla renal pyramid, minor calyx, major calyx, renal pelvis, ureter
Blood Supply to Kidney
heart>renal artery>afferent arteriole>glomerulus(capillary)>efferent arteriole>peritubular capillaries & vasa recta>interlobular>arcuate>interlobar>segmental veins>renal vein
Nerve supply to kidney
Vasomotor nerves from the SYMPATHETIC branch of the autonomic nervous system supply kidney blood vessels & help regulate renal blood pressure
Nephron
Functional unit of kidney. Consists of glomerulus and Bowman's capsule and a renal tubule (PCT, Loop of Henley, DCT, collecting duct.
Cortical Nephron
p 901; has glomerulus in outer third of cortex & short loop that dips only into outer region of medula
Juxtamedullary nephron
glomerulus deep in the cortex near the medulla and a long loop of Henle that stretches through the medulla
juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA)
juxtaglomerular cells of an afferent arteriole and the MACULA DENSA of a renal tubule
Macula Densa
Detects changes in BP and secretes Renin when BP falls
Glomerular Filtration
Nephrons regulate BP & composition & subsequently form urine by:
1. Glomerular Filtration; 2. Tubular Reabsorption. & 3. Tubular Secretion
Glomular Filtration Rate
180 L per day

125 ml/min
GBHP (glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure)
promotes glomerular filtration
GBHP
CHP
BCOP
NFP (net filtration pressure)
Glomerular Blood Hydrostatic Pressure
Capsular Hydrostatic Pressure
Blood Colloid Osmotic Pressure
NFP = GBHP - (CHP+BCOP)
Tubular Reabsorption
reclaims materials from tubular fluid and returns the to the bloodstream.
(water, GLUCOSE, amino acids, Na+,K, and HCO3
Tubular Secretion
substances not needed by the body are removed from the blood & discharged into the urine (K, H, NH4, urea, creatine, drugs)
Kidney helps maintain blood pH
by secreting H+ ind increasing or decreasing HCO3 production
Absence of ADH
Kidneys produce dilute urine;
Renal tubules absorb more solutes than water.
Presence of ADH
kidneys secrete concentrated urine, b/c lg amounts of water are reabsorbed from the tubular fluid into interstitial fluid
Renal Clearance
ability of kidneys to remove a specific substance from blood.
Hemodialysis
Filtering blood through a kidney machine that cleanses the blood of wastes and adds nutrients is called hemodialysis.
CAPD
Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (portable method of dialysis).
Ureters
Retroperitoneal; Transport urine from the renal pelvis to the urinary bladder,
What causes prod'n of Angiotensin II
Low blood volume or low BP stimulates RENIN-INDUCED prod of Angiotensin II, which will then increase bl volume or BP
What causes incr Aldosterone
incr angiotensin II level and incr. level of K+ promote release of aldosterone by adrenal cortex, which will in turn increase BP
What causes incr. ADH
Incr osmolarity of extracellular fluid; or incr angiotensin II level promote release of ADH from pituitary, which will increase BP
What causes secretion of Atrial Natriuretic peptide (ANP)
Stretching of atria of heart stimulates ANP secretion, which 1. Incr excretion of Na+ in urine; 2. incr uring output and thus decr bl volume that decr BP.
Physical characteristics evaluated in a urinalysis
color, odor turbidity, pH, specific gravity.

Urine is normally acidic
Acute Glomerulonephritis (Bright's disease)
inflamm of kidney the involves the glomeruli. Caused by strptococci bacteria that has infected another part of body
Nephrotic Syndrome
1. proteinuria
2. edema
3. hypertension
4. hyperlipidemia
Renal Failure
decr r cessation of glomerular filtration with a decr or lack of urinary output
PKD; Polycystic kidney disease
most common inherited disorder of the kidneys. Kidney tubules become riddled with cysts
DI
excretion of lg volume of very dilute urine; Defect in prod of ADH, or an insensitivity of the principal cells in renal collecting ducts to stimulation by ADH
Loop of Henle
allow it to act as a countercurrent multiplier.
Without ADH, Loop of Henle is
completely impermeable to water and the dilute fluid leaving the loop of Henle becomes hypotonic urine. ADH allows for passive reabsorption of water
