Renal Physiology — Flashcards

In Type _____ RTA, high urinary pH promotes increased reabsorption of citrates at the PCT and increased excretion of Calcium

Angiotensin II normally _____ the efferent arteriole of the kidney

Glomerulotubular balance describes a balance between filtration in the _____ and reabsorption in the proximal tubule

Angiotensin II acts directly at the _____ (location) to increase NaHCO3 reabsorption

_____ is the major anion reabsorbed in the late PCT of the nephron

The _____ and [TF/P]osmolarity ratios both remain at 1 over the course of the PCT

Juxtamedullary nephrons have _____ glomeruli (size) and thus higher GFR than superficial cortical nephrons

In the lumen of the proximal tubule, _____ and H+ combine to form NH4+

_____ syndrome is a renal tubular defect that affects the Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter

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