Renal Physiology — Flashcards

Lactate is primarily reabsorbed in the _____ through Na+-lactate cotransport

[TF/P]x _____ 1 when the solute is reabsorbed more quickly than water

In the _____ limb (loop of Henle), osmolarity of the tubular fluid decreases

The amount of H+ excreted as titratable acid depends on the amount of _____ present and the pK of the buffer

Prostaglandins act via a _____ mechanism to vaso-dilate the afferent arterioles

Increased prostaglandin (e.g. loop diuretics) causes vaso-_____ of the afferent arteriole

The major solutes absorbed in the proximal tubule are _____ and NaHCO3

The _____ is the site of action of loop diuretics

The _____ and outer medullary collecting ducts are permeable to H2O and impermeable to urea (ADH present)

_____ syndrome is a renal tubular defect characterized by a generalized reabsorptive defect in the PCT (location) of the nephron
