Flashcard 72: In the lumen of the late distal tubule and collecting duct, secreted H+ combines with HPO4^2- to form H2PO4^-, which is a(n) _____ acid
Answer: titratable
Extra: Phosphate is the most important titratable acid buffer because its pKa (6.8) is close to the tubular fluid pH. (Note: Titratable acidity specifically excludes NH3/NH4+).
Flashcard 73: In the lumen of the collecting duct, _____ and _____ combine to form NH4+
Answer: NH3
Extra: This process is known as **diffusion trapping**.\n\nIn the **proximal tubule**, NH4+ is secreted directly into the lumen (substituting for H+ on the Na+/H+ exchanger).
Flashcard 74: Pepsinogen is secreted in response to _____ and local H+
Answer: vagal stimulation
