Renal Physiology — Flashcards

The effects of ECF volume _____ on the Starling forces result in decreased fractional reabsorption of isosmotic fluid in the proximal tubule

If Cx _____ GFR, there is net tubular reabsorption of X

PTH acts on the kidney to increase renal _____ reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule

Prostaglandins _____ and I2 cause vaso-dilation of both afferent and efferent arterioles in the kidney

_____ clearance can be used to calculate GFR because it is freely filtered and is not reabsorbed or secreted

A _____ shift in renal pressure natriuresis curve is caused by angiotensin II by increasing Na and water retention

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

Glucose in the cells of the PCT enter the peritubular capillary blood through _____ and GLUT2 transporters

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

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