Renal Physiology — Flashcards

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

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

The _____ cells of the late distal tubule and collecting duct reabsorb K+

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

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

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

The _____ and thick ascending limbs (loop of Henle) are permeable to Na+

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

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

_____ hormone stimulates Ca2+-Na+ exchange in the basolateral membrane of distal tubule cells
