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

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

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

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

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

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)

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

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