regulate pH
assist water regulation |

Anatomy of Kidney
Salt Functions |
|
Definition
Cortex and Medulla
>maintaining the proper water levels
>too much salty, kidneys wont absorb it.
> it'll be excreted and nothing will happen |

Term
|
Definition
active part responsible for filtering
active parts for filtering are the proximal to the distal tubules. |
|
|
Term
Histology
Proximal Tubule, Basolateral Cells |
|
Definition
Glomerulus - where plasma gets filtered.
>Important site for sodium re-absorption.
>Line the Lumen of the proximal tubule will take Na+ back to plasma. When NA+ is transported, Cl- follows. solute level (^) |

Term
| How do we get glucose across the concentration gradient and into the blood? |
|
Definition
Secondary Active Transport.
Na+ moves with gradient and glucose along with it.
Diabetics: transportes are saturated with glucose. |
|
|
Term
| Distal Tubule and collecting duct |
|
Definition
LAST CHANCE to reabsorb and remaining components your body might be interested in.
similar to proximal tubule NOT permeable to water. |
|
|
Term
Renin- Angiotensin System
Body elevates Plasma volume |
|
Definition
| >Starts with the Liver --> Angiotensinogen. --> Kidneys --> (Release and enzyme -> Renin) Thanks to this enzyme, Angiotensinogen is changed to Angiotensim I --> ACE (enzyme) --> Angiotensim 2 --> Adrenal glands -->Aldostrone --> Kidneys |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| >Heart -> Specifically Atrium --> (because theres too much water) Atrium releases ANP/ANH --> Kidney lowers reabsorbtion Sodium |
