water; Na+K+2Cl- pump; sodium; the lumen; the interstitium
-
Concentration of UF __________ as it moves up the loop of henle.
decreases (water trapped, sodium actively pumped out)

What 2 pathways can be taken to alter urine conc in the cortical collecting tubule?
impermeable to water, pump out sodium, dilute urine; open water channels for water to passively leave the lumen to conc interstitium, concentrate urine
-
With the countercurrent multiplier, UF enters the proximal tubule--> in ascending LoH, _____________--> more UF enters proximal tubule--> _____________--> ongoing to produce ____________
solutes actively pumped to interstitium, concentrating it; water leaves proximal tubule, pulled into conc interstitium; electrochemical concentrating gradient
-
The vasa recta travels alongside the _________.
descending and ascending LoH
-
The vasa recta has _______ flow; flow that is too _______ may cause...
sluggish; rapid; wash out of the solutes and decrease concentrating ability.
-
As blood goes down the vasa recta, ________ from the interstitium diffuses into the blood and _________ diffuses out.
solutes; water
-
As blood goes up the vasa recta, ________ enters the blood and ________ exit it.
water; solutes
-
Why is urea important to urine concentration?
uea provides half the concentration gradient; therefore, decreased urea--> decreased conc gradient--> decrease concentrating ability
-
Urea is ________ at the glomerulus; it is _________ in the proximal tubule.
freely filtered; passively reabsorbed
-
As water is reabsorbed from the cortical collecting duct, urea concentration __________; at the UF moves through the medullary collecting duct, urea moves into the _________ through urea transporters, helping to create the _________.
increases; interstitium; conc gradient
-
How is urea from the medullary interstitium recycled?
interstitial urea diffuses into the thin loop of henle when urea conc is low--> urea is carried up the loop of henle and goes back through the system
-
Give 3 examples of circumstances that may impair urine concentrating ability.
increased blood flow in vasa recta, decreased urea, hyponatremia
-
ADH is made in the _________ of the _________.
supraoptic nucleus; hypothalamus
-
Osmoreceptors in the brain are outside of the __________, making it easy for them to....
BBB; monitor blood osmolality.
-
Stimuli for ADH release. (6)
osmoreceptors detect minor changes in blood osmolality, baroreceptors sence large changes in blood volume/pressure,nausea, pain, anxiety, morphine
-
Effects of ADH. (5)
vasoconstriction, aquaporins inserted in luminal membrane of collecting duct, more water reabsorbed from lumen, increased urine SG, lower urine volume
-
When ADH is absent... (4)
no aquaporins, waters trapped in lumen of collecting duct, low urine SG, high urine volume
-
Excess ADH causes __________.
volume retention
-
Low ADH causes __(2)__.
dilute urine, hypernatremia
-
Diuretic inhibit _________ in the renal tubule, leading to...
sodium reabsorption; solute and water loss.
-
What are the two classes of diuretics?
chemical diuretics (affect pumps), osmotic diuretics
-
Furosemide is a __________; it works in the _________.
loop diuretic; loop of henle
-
Furosemide is secreted by the _________ and reaches the _______ side of the ________ by tubular flow; it binds to ____________, and inhibits it.

-
Furosemide keeps __(4)__ in the _______.
Na+, K+, Cl-, water; tubular lumen
-
Side effects of furosemide. (4)
hypokalemia, hypovolemia, metabolic alkalosis, ototoxicity (deafness)
-
Thiazide diuretics impair the __________ in the __________.
Na+Cl- cotransporter; distal tubule
-
Thiazide diuretics are considered ___________, meaning minimal drug is needed to reach maximal effect.
low ceiling
-
Thiazide diuretics are used to ___________ in ___________ patients.
decrease excretion of calcium; stone-forming
-
Spironolactone is a ___________; it works by preventing...
aldosterone antagonist; aldosterone from inserting Na+ and K+ channels, preventing the reabsorption of Na+ and secretion of K+
-
Substances that are freely filtered at the glomerulus and increase the osmolality of the ultrafiltrate.
osmotic diuretics
-
What kind of diuretic is used to dilate the tubules and expels casts?
osmotic diuretics
-
How do you adjust the drug dosage of a drug with a long half-life and conc does not have to be sustained to continue having an effect?
lengthen dosing interval; new interval= old interval (patient cre/normal cre)
-
How do you adjust the dosage of a drug for a time-dependent drug and when the minimum drug conc is important?
decrease the dose; new dose= old dose (normal cre/patient cre)
-
What substances are excreted? (5)
K+, H+, ammonium, urate, organic acids and bases
-
