Reabsorption at the thick ascending limb (TAL) involves mainly cotransport of _____________ at the lumenal cell membrane and __________________ at the basolateral membrane.

K secretion and Na reabsorbtion
Intercalated cell
alpha type:
Secrete H+ and reabsorb K+ (ATPase)

K+ enters blood/interstitium via basolateral K channels
Can the MCD absorb K+ passively?
The medullary collecting duct is also able to reabsorb K+ passively, through the highly K+ permeable tight-junctions, when the luminal K+ concentration is elevated, as happens with high K+ intake or with high distal reabsorption of water (elevated plasma ADH).
Aldosterone secretion is stimulated by
elevation of plasma Angiotensin II and [K+].
main cellular effect of aldosterone
increase the synthesis of transport proteins (Na+-K+ ATPases, Na+ channels, K+ channels) in the principal cells of the distal nephron, thus enhancing Na+ reabsorption and K+ secretion.
Aldosterone secretion is inhibited by
hypokalemia and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP).
A high flow rate is thought to promote K+ secretion by
deforming the mechano-sensitive central cilium of the principal cell that protrudes into the lumen.
deforming the mechano-sensitive central cilium of the principal cell that protrudes into the lumen causes
intracellular release of Ca2+ that leads to opening of Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels (BK channels).
A high tubular flow rate also favors a high chemical gradient for K+ secretion across the lumenal membrane by
diluting and washing away the secreted K+
If increased flow also increases Na delivery to the distal nephron what happens to K?
enhanced Na+ reabsorption provokes more secretion of K+, since the entry of Na+ not only stimulates the basolateral Na+-K+ ATPase, but it also depolarizes the lumenal membrane, an effect that favors the secretion of K+, as mentioned earlier.

The result is a luminal fluid with _________ osmolality but a _______ salt concentration than that in the medullary interstitium.
The result is a luminal fluid with the same osmolality but a higher salt concentration than that in the medullary interstitium.

Negative = water is reabsorbed
H+ secretion:
transporter in the Proximar tubule?

collecting duct?
proximal tubule = Na+-H+ and Na+-NH4+ exchange via the NHE3 transporter

collecting duct = H+ ATPase
Normally the titratable acidity accounts for about _______ of the acid excretion in the urine. The increase in T.A. excretion in acidosis is _______________
Normally the titratable acidity accounts for about ONE THIRD of the acid excretion in the urine. The increase in T.A. excretion in acidosis is MINIMAL, except in disease states in which endogenous production of filterable buffer is increased greatly, as in diabetes with production of ketoacids.
Hormones that increase expression of NHE-3 and NBCe1?
Endothelin-1 and cortisol
PTH response to acidosis?
secretion stimulated by acidosis

inhibits phosphate reabsorption by the proximal tubule leaving more of it available to be used as T.A.
principal or granular cell effect on acid-base regulation?
no direct role
Itercalated cell types and what they secrete?
alpha = secretes H+

beta = secretes HCO3-
Acid base equation

pH = ?
pH = 6.1 + log [HCO3]/0.03pCO2
pH = 6.1 + log [HCO3- ] / 0.03 PCO2

0.03 is in mMoles/L/mmHg

HCO3 is in mMoles
How is an acute acid load handled?
50% is buffered in ECF HCO3-

50% is buffered in exchange for Na, K, or Cl
NAE = ?
Net Acid Excretion

NAE = Utitration + UNH4+ - UHCO3
Initial detection of hemorrhage is by?

Initial response to hemorrhage is by?
detection = cardiopulmonary receptors (reduced firing)

response = increased heart rate
Reasons for reduced urine output in shock?
1. Decreased GFR
2. Increased Na and water reabsorbtion
3. Increased ADH
-(increased Na reabsorbtion at thick ascending, decreased vasa recta flow, increased water permiability of collecting duct)
Why can necessary potassium secretion be maintained with decreased GFR/tubular flow in the volume depleted individual?
Because of increased aldosterone secretion
contraction alkalosis?
diuretics cause loss of body stores of NaCl which leave behind higher concentrations of HCO3
anion gap
anion gap = [Na] - ([Cl] + [HCO3])

normal = 5-11
Acids that increase anion gap?
lactic acid or ketoacid
Effect of volume depletion on BUN?
increases BUM greater than the increase in creatinie d/t increased ADH = reabsorbtion at collecting duct
