Renal Physiology — Flashcards

The major action of ADH (vasopressin) is to increase _____ of the principal cells in the late distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct

The _____ limb (loop of Henle) is permeable to water

In the inner medullary collecting ducts, urea is reabsorbed by the _____ transporter, which is activated by ADH

Activation of _____ adrenergic receptors on the juxtaglomerular cells causes increased renin release

When CH2O is _____, urine is iso-osmotic relative to plasma

Phosphate is primarily reabsorbed in the _____ through Na+-phosphate cotransport

_____ syndrome is a renal tubular defect characterized by a gain of function mutation in the ENaC channel in the collecting duct of the nephron

Glucose is reabsorbed in the _____ by Na+/glucose (SGLT) cotransporters

The _____ mechanism of renal autoregulation states that renal afferent arterioles contract in response to vasoactive substances released by the macula densa

The glomerular filtration barrier is responsible for filtering the plasma according to the properties of a compounds _____ and net charge
