Renal Physiology — Flashcards

A decrease in renal perfusion pressure causes the _____ cells of the afferent arterioles to secrete renin

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

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

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

If the filtered load is _____ than the excretion rate, there has been net secretion (reabsorption or secretion)

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

_____ clearance can be used to calculate effective renal plasma flow (eRPF) because it is both filtered and secreted

_____ is the major anion reabsorbed in the early PCT

The _____ of the glomerular filtration barrier contains heparan sulfate, which acts as a negative charge barrier

Creatinine clearance slightly _____-estimates GFR because creatinine is moderately secreted by renal tubules
