Renal Physiology — Flashcards

The _____ is the site of action of loop diuretics

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

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

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

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

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
