Some of the K+ entering the cell leaks back into the lumen through apical channels. Overall, the net reabsorption of K+ at the TAL accounts for % of the filtered load.
|
10% of the filtered load.
|
|
In contrast to the TAL which is capable of only reabsorbing K+, the distal segments
|
have the capacity to either reabsorb or secrete K+
|
|
changes in the excretion rate of K+ reflects the handling of K+ by
|
the distal nephron.
|
|
principal cell?
|
Basolateral K+in and Na+ out --> K+ then diffuses into lumen via ROMK/BK
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.
|
|
single effect?
|
At each level the descending limb and the interstitium are equal in osmolality and the ascending limp is 200 mOsm/kg less
|
|
as the fluid moves through the descending limb water moves into the hyperosmotic interstitium. The solute concentration in the tubule lumen (mainly salt) increases until its osmolality balances that of the interstitium, which is due to salt ions and urea. 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.
|
|
Urea recycling?
|
-Urea is absorbed the medullary portion of the collecting duct into the intersitium
-Urea then moves into the lumen of the thin ascending limb -travels in the lumen until it reaches the collecting duct again and starts over |
|
Effect of ADH on urea
|
enhances it's permability at the IMCD
this sends urea into the interstitium = high osmolality |
|
Effect of ADH on thick ascending limb?
|
-stimulates salt transport
-depresses vasa recta blood flow -enhances IMCD urea transport |
|
Things that inhibit the adenylate cyclase that ultimately produces APQ2
|
prostaglandins

|
ADH is secreted by certain
ADH secretion is stimulated by |
hypothalamic neurons whose axons terminate in the posterior pituitary; nearby neurons act as osmoreceptors
increased osmolality = increased firing = increased ADH |
|
Can barroreceptors override the ADH osmoreceptors?
|
Yes if volume drops by >10% if will override and release ADH even with a normal osmolarity = can lead to low osmolarity

Positive CH2O?
Negative CH2O? |
Positive = water is excreted
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.
