Renal | Filtration, Reabsorption, and Secretion: Overview
Résumé
TLDRThis video provides a comprehensive overview of kidney function with a focus on the nephron. It covers the entire process from glomerular filtration through to collecting duct activities, discussing pressure dynamics, filtration rates, and hormonal influences. Key structures in the nephron like the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule are examined, as well as their roles in electrolyte balance, water reabsorption, and urine concentration. Hormonal regulation by aldosterone, parathyroid hormone, and antidiuretic hormone is also reviewed, explaining their effects on calcium and sodium reabsorption, and osmoregulation. Concepts like counter-current exchange and urea recycling are explored to showcase the nephron's role in maintaining the body's fluid and electrolyte balance.

The video provides an overview of the renal system, covering topics such as the proximal convoluted tubule, glomerular filtration, Henle's loop, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct. The initial focus is on key pressures involved in glomerular filtration including glomerular hydrostatic pressure, capsular hydrostatic pressure, and the role of plasma proteins.
- 00:05:00 - 00:10:00
The discussion moves into detailed processes occurring in the proximal convoluted tubule where a significant amount of reabsorption happens. Sodium, water, and other solutes like potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, and bicarbonate are reabsorbed here. Glucose and amino acids are also reabsorbed through co-transport with sodium. Also, small proteins and lipids are reabsorbed while metabolic wastes and some drugs are secreted.
- 00:10:00 - 00:15:00
The loop of Henle is then discussed, highlighting the countercurrent multiplier system in the nephron. Water reabsorption is concentrated in the descending limb due to the salty medullary interstitial space created by the ascending limb's active solute transport. The osmolality gradient is emphasized as it increases medially from cortex to medulla.
- 00:15:00 - 00:20:00
Attention is given to the osmolality changes as fluids pass through the nephron segment. Proximal tubule reabsorbs up to 65% water and sodium leading to isotonicity, while descending limb loses water to hypertonicity. The ascending limb impacts osmolality by reabsorbing solutes, thus producing diluted filtrate by the distal convoluted tubule.
- 00:20:00 - 00:25:00
The distal convoluted tubule's role is refined by hormonal influences such as parathyroid hormone and aldosterone, affecting reabsorption processes for calcium and sodium. The production and regulation of hormones like antidiuretic hormone are noted for their effects on collecting duct water reabsorption, affecting blood volume and pressure.
- 00:25:00 - 00:30:00
Collecting duct processes involving sodium reabsorption and balancing of potassium via aldosterone are examined. Antidiuretic hormone's role in managing water balance continues in the collecting duct affecting blood osmolality and pressure. This section emphasizes the physiological and hormonal controls over kidney functions.
- 00:30:00 - 00:36:38
Finally, metabolic wastes such as creatinine and urea handling in collecting ducts are discussed alongside tubular secretion aspects. The concept of urea recycling contributes to the medullary osmolarity, enhancing water reabsorption from descending limb and concentrating urine. The segment concludes summarizing kidney function efficiencies and physiological balance control discussed throughout the course.

Questions fréquemment posées
What is the function of the glomerular capillaries?
The glomerular capillaries act as a filtering structure where blood pressure forces water and solutes out of the blood and into the Bowman's capsule.
What is the role of the proximal convoluted tubule?
The proximal convoluted tubule is involved in reabsorbing a large portion of water, sodium, potassium, chloride, and other substances into the bloodstream.
How does the loop of Henle contribute to kidney function?
The loop of Henle uses a counter-current multiplier mechanism to make the medulla salty, allowing water to be reabsorbed in the descending limb.
What hormone regulates calcium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule?
Calcium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule is regulated by the parathyroid hormone.
What is urea recycling and its importance?
Urea recycling refers to the process where urea is reabsorbed from the collecting duct to enhance medullary interstitial gradient, promoting water reabsorption.
What structures compose a nephron?
A nephron consists of the glomerulus, Bowman's capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct.
What effect does aldosterone have on the distal convoluted tubule?
Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion in the distal convoluted tubule.
How does antidiuretic hormone (ADH) work in the nephron?
ADH increases water reabsorption by inserting aquaporin channels in the collecting duct and the late distal tubule.

- 00:00:06all right ninja nerds in this video
- 00:00:08we're going to take a nice brief
- 00:00:09overview of everything that we've
- 00:00:10covered throughout the series of videos
- 00:00:12in the renal playlist so you guys have
- 00:00:14already watched it about the proximal
- 00:00:15convoluted tubule you guys have watched
- 00:00:17the glomerular filtration process the
- 00:00:19loop of Henle the distal convoluted
- 00:00:21tubule and the collecting duct videos
- 00:00:22then what we're going to do is we're
- 00:00:24going to take a nice little brief
- 00:00:24overview over that just to make sure
- 00:00:26that we got all of this stuff clear
- 00:00:27alright so let's go ahead and start that
- 00:00:29so if you guys remember what do we say
- 00:00:31what's happening well we said that this
- 00:00:33was the a fairy material right coming in
- 00:00:34to the actual glomerulus and the glue
- 00:00:36Maris was that set of capillaries that
- 00:00:38was the filtering structure right and
- 00:00:40what did we say here was happening we
- 00:00:42said there was a mixture of pressures
- 00:00:43right the pressures that was trying to
- 00:00:45push out was the glomerular hydrostatic
- 00:00:46pressure which is inside of the
- 00:00:48capillaries exerted by what the blood
- 00:00:50pressure the systemic blood pressure
- 00:00:51then what else do we say we also said
- 00:00:54that there was an osmotic pressure of
- 00:00:56the AAB specifically the proteins with
- 00:00:58inside the actual blood then we're
- 00:01:00trying to pull water into the blood
- 00:01:02stream then we said that there was a
- 00:01:04capsular hydrostatic pressure that was
- 00:01:05actually going to be due to the filtrate
- 00:01:07trying to drain sometimes some of that
- 00:01:09filtrate can back up and exert a
- 00:01:11pressure trying to push certain filtrate
- 00:01:13back into the actual maelys that was
- 00:01:15called the capsular hydrostatic pressure
- 00:01:16and then we say that there was a
- 00:01:18capsular osmotic pressure but it should
- 00:01:21be zero because there should be no
- 00:01:23proteins plasma proteins like albumin
- 00:01:24that should be filtered across this
- 00:01:26membrane because if you remember the
- 00:01:28capsular osmotic pressure was trying to
- 00:01:29pull fluid out into the glomerulus space
- 00:01:31alright so now that we know all of those
- 00:01:33again we remember what was the overall
- 00:01:35outcome of this we said that there
- 00:01:38should be a net filtration pressure of
- 00:01:40approximately ten millimeters of mercury
- 00:01:42right we said that that's what it should
- 00:01:44be the net filtration pressure should be
- 00:01:46approximately about ten millimeters of
- 00:01:48mercury what else do we say remember
- 00:01:50that relationship we made with net
- 00:01:52filtration pressure we said the net
- 00:01:54filtration pressure was directly
- 00:01:55proportional to the glomerular
- 00:01:57filtration rate and we said that the
- 00:01:59glomerular filtration rate should
- 00:02:00approximately be about 125 milliliters
- 00:02:05per minute we did that calculation in
- 00:02:07the glomerular filtration video so that
- 00:02:09is our GFR the glomerular filtration
- 00:02:12rate
- 00:02:13which is directly proportional to the
- 00:02:15net filtration pressure is how much
- 00:02:17fluid in volume per time is being
- 00:02:20filtered across this actual glomerular
- 00:02:22filtration membrane and we said a lot of
- 00:02:24different fluids are being pressed
- 00:02:26across this membrane right before we do
- 00:02:28that though what was this actual
- 00:02:29arterial here supplying the glomerulus
- 00:02:31do you guys remember this was the a
- 00:02:33ferrant arteriole right and we said that
- 00:02:39this was one of the weird example of a
- 00:02:40body that in a capillary bed was
- 00:02:42actually fed bar inner cereal and then
- 00:02:44drained by an arteriole so this is an
- 00:02:46example of a efferent arteriole because
- 00:02:50this is actually draining the actual
- 00:02:52capillary but then what do we say this
- 00:02:56filtration process occurs across the
- 00:02:57membrane a lot of fluid and a lot of
- 00:02:59different different types of filtrate
- 00:03:00substances are actually going to be
- 00:03:02accumulated across this area and drained
- 00:03:05into this next structure here what is
- 00:03:07this next structure here we said that
- 00:03:09this is the proximal convoluted tubules
- 00:03:12and this is one of the more important
- 00:03:14sites of the actual nephron what is a
- 00:03:16nephron you guys remember we said in
- 00:03:17Efron was the glomerular capillaries
- 00:03:20plus the Bowman's capsule right which is
- 00:03:23made up with a visceral layer which is
- 00:03:24the podocytes
- 00:03:25and the parietal layer which is made up
- 00:03:27of those simple squamous epithelial
- 00:03:28cells that made up the renal corpuscle
- 00:03:30plus the proximal convoluted tubule the
- 00:03:34loop of Henle and the distal convoluted
- 00:03:35tubule that was a nephron and we have
- 00:03:37about 1.2 million in one kidney so if we
- 00:03:39have two of them generally unless you
- 00:03:41have renal agenesis unilateral generally
- 00:03:43you're going to have two kidneys and
- 00:03:45it's gonna be about 2.4 million right so
- 00:03:47that's pretty cool anyway we get the
- 00:03:49proximal convoluted tubules what did we
- 00:03:50say happens in this area a lot of
- 00:03:52reabsorption a lot let's start with that
- 00:03:54first and then we'll talk about the
- 00:03:55secretion mechanisms so we said a lot of
- 00:03:58sodium was reabsorbed here we said a lot
- 00:04:01of water was reabsorbed here we said a
- 00:04:04lot of potassium was reabsorbed here a
- 00:04:06lot of chloride a lot of magnesium
- 00:04:11decent amount of calcium is reabsorbed
- 00:04:13here and what else did we say was very
- 00:04:15absorbed here bicarbonate so exactly
- 00:04:19about how much of these guys there was
- 00:04:21more will mention a couple of other ones
- 00:04:23right but sodium about 65% of the actual
- 00:04:27sodium
- 00:04:27reabsorbed what do we say was really
- 00:04:29important about that we said that
- 00:04:32because 65 percent of the sodium is
- 00:04:34reabsorbed water-filled obliged to
- 00:04:36follow and we said that that we
- 00:04:38approximately about 65 percent we said
- 00:04:42bicarb generally depending upon the
- 00:04:43body's demands generally about 90% of
- 00:04:47the bicarb is reabsorbed about 85 to 90
- 00:04:49percent magnesium it's kind of
- 00:04:52questionable certain literature will say
- 00:04:54different we're just going to say it's
- 00:04:55question about the amounts of magnesium
- 00:04:57that are going to be reabsorbed
- 00:04:58potassium is around the range of about
- 00:05:0260% okay around the range of about 60%
- 00:05:05and chloride ranges to about 50 to 60%
- 00:05:08also all right calcium about 60% of the
- 00:05:13calcium is reabsorbed here we said right
- 00:05:1460% of the calcium is reabsorbed here a
- 00:05:16lot of different things reabsorbed here
- 00:05:18and again what is the definition of
- 00:05:20tubular reabsorption we said tubular
- 00:05:23reabsorption is defined as the process
- 00:05:26in which substances from the actual
- 00:05:27kidney tubules this filtrate is moving
- 00:05:30where we said that these substances are
- 00:05:33moving from the actual kidney tubules
- 00:05:36where into the blood all right from the
- 00:05:40kidney tubules and into the blood so if
- 00:05:42this sodium is moving this area this
- 00:05:43water is moving to this area this bicarb
- 00:05:45is moving to this area and the magnesium
- 00:05:48and the potassium and they're going into
- 00:05:50the blood this is defined as tubular
- 00:05:52reabsorption we talked about many of the
- 00:05:54mechanisms how sodium is brought in how
- 00:05:56water how by car we're not going to do
- 00:05:58that we don't need to write but one
- 00:06:00thing I do want to mention is what
- 00:06:01actually is brought in with sodium and
- 00:06:04what is also going to be another process
- 00:06:06talking about just a second remember
- 00:06:07glucose one of the organic nutrients and
- 00:06:10amino acids amino acids these substances
- 00:06:16did what remember they actually went
- 00:06:18with sodium the sodium glucose and
- 00:06:20sodium amino acid code transport
- 00:06:22mechanisms those were also important so
- 00:06:24glucose and amino acids were also
- 00:06:28reabsorbed in this process dependent
- 00:06:30upon the actual presence of sodium we
- 00:06:32said what else do we say gets reabsorbed
- 00:06:34small amounts of your real gets
- 00:06:36reabsorbed let's use this
- 00:06:39actual green colors in urea so urea
- 00:06:43about 50% about 50% of the urea is
- 00:06:48actually going to get reabsorbed into
- 00:06:50the body right back into the bloodstream
- 00:06:51oh good question how much of the glucose
- 00:06:54in amino acids physiologically should be
- 00:06:56100% if you have traces of glucose in
- 00:07:02the air and they call that glucose area
- 00:07:03right and usually glucose urea is
- 00:07:05identifiable by someone who's actually
- 00:07:07having diabetes so that's not normal
- 00:07:09that glucose in the air because a
- 00:07:10hundred percent of that should be
- 00:07:12actually being reabsorbed and the reason
- 00:07:15why is we have these transporters here
- 00:07:17that are designed to be able to bring in
- 00:07:18the sodium and the glucose and they can
- 00:07:20bring that up until the blood levels
- 00:07:21usually the actual glucose levels in the
- 00:07:23bloodstream go above 180 milligrams per
- 00:07:25deal then the transporters are getting
- 00:07:27saturated and you reach was called a
- 00:07:30transport maximum and then it starts
- 00:07:31getting lost in the urine okay so we
- 00:07:34talked about that what other things were
- 00:07:36being reabsorbed here not just urea and
- 00:07:38all these different electrolytes we also
- 00:07:39said that small proteins were being
- 00:07:41absorbed here too so small molecular
- 00:07:44weight proteins small proteins like
- 00:07:46insulin albumin we said even a little
- 00:07:49bit of the hemoglobin these molecules
- 00:07:51can actually get reabsorbed so small
- 00:07:52proteins can actually get reabsorbed
- 00:07:55into the bloodstream and we said it was
- 00:07:57by an endo cytosis mechanism what else
- 00:07:59did we say we also said that lipids
- 00:08:01remember lipids they're really weird
- 00:08:03lipids actually get reabsorbed in this
- 00:08:05process too because what it's passed a
- 00:08:08diffusion they can diffuse right to the
- 00:08:10fossil of a bilayer so the lipids can
- 00:08:12also get reabsorbed into the bloodstream
- 00:08:16okay so we talked about lipids small
- 00:08:18proteins all of these different
- 00:08:19electrolytes and the organic nutrients
- 00:08:21what else and then leave in this
- 00:08:22metabolic waste urea what lots of things
- 00:08:25that are being secreted how we define
- 00:08:26tubular secretion it's the process of
- 00:08:28moving things from the blood into the
- 00:08:30actual filtrate how does that happen
- 00:08:32well you know that we can actually
- 00:08:34excrete certain drugs in this area so we
- 00:08:36can actually take certain drugs I'm not
- 00:08:38going to go over the many drugs that you
- 00:08:39can actually excrete in this process but
- 00:08:42one thing I do want you guys to know is
- 00:08:44that in order for us to excrete drugs in
- 00:08:46order for us to excrete protons
- 00:08:50in order for us to excrete other
- 00:08:52different types of metabolic waste
- 00:08:54products so other different types of
- 00:08:55metabolic waste products for example
- 00:08:57limonium and even small trace amounts of
- 00:09:00creatine are creatinine these substances
- 00:09:04here in order for them to get pumped
- 00:09:06over here it depends upon the presence
- 00:09:09of ATP we need ATP in order for us to be
- 00:09:12able to pump these substances from the
- 00:09:14blood and into the actual filtrate so
- 00:09:17all of these processes here require the
- 00:09:19presence of ATP ok now that's one thing
- 00:09:27and not only can you actually push these
- 00:09:29protons out right depending upon what
- 00:09:31the situation might be if you're in a
- 00:09:33situation when you're in metabolic
- 00:09:34acidosis you'll pump the protons out you
- 00:09:36can also get rid of bicarb so there is
- 00:09:38certain situations in which you can
- 00:09:40actually lose by car but we'll talk
- 00:09:41about that when you get over to the
- 00:09:42intercalated B cells okay so for the
- 00:09:45most part this covers in general what we
- 00:09:47talked about in the proximal convoluted
- 00:09:48tubule video then as we get down to the
- 00:09:52loop of Henle what did we say actually
- 00:09:54before we do that what was the
- 00:09:55milliosmoles we got to make sure we
- 00:09:57bring up that milliosmoles of right the
- 00:09:58osmolality what do we say was the
- 00:10:00general flow as we move our way down
- 00:10:02okay we said as we move our way down
- 00:10:05goes from about what it goes from 300
- 00:10:09milliosmoles and it works its way down
- 00:10:11work from that point let's see how that
- 00:10:14goes okay so you guys remember it starts
- 00:10:17up here at 300 milliosmoles and then it
- 00:10:19works downwards to about 500 millivolts
- 00:10:21then we get down to about maybe 700
- 00:10:24millivolts then we get down to about 900
- 00:10:27million moles and as we get really
- 00:10:29really deep down into the renal medulla
- 00:10:30you can hit 1200 milliosmoles now really
- 00:10:35really briefly let me show you what i'm
- 00:10:37talking about here in a side diagram
- 00:10:38let's come over here for a second just a
- 00:10:41real quick side diagram I draw a kidney
- 00:10:43here so we're clear
- 00:10:46let's say I take one piece here I take
- 00:10:48one lobe here okay and here's the calyx
- 00:10:50which is going to collect the actual
- 00:10:52you're in at ripping off this is a renal
- 00:10:54pyramid the renal pyramid is two parts
- 00:10:56this part here is the cortex it's more
- 00:10:59of like the lighter granulated tissue
- 00:11:01and then the other part was the renal
- 00:11:03medulla
- 00:11:03and that was that nice little striated
- 00:11:05part right now was dude a lot of the
- 00:11:06kidney tubules now what we're trying to
- 00:11:09say here with this renal you know
- 00:11:10medullary gradient is that as you move
- 00:11:13your way from the cortex which is where
- 00:11:14the proximal convoluted tubule and the
- 00:11:17distal convoluted tubule and even the
- 00:11:20glomerular capillary we moved down 300
- 00:11:22500 700 900 12 under that's what we're
- 00:11:26saying
- 00:11:27so the actual osmolality or the
- 00:11:29medullary grading and increasing as you
- 00:11:31go down that's what we're trying to say
- 00:11:34okay so now that we got that let's come
- 00:11:36back over here for a second okay so what
- 00:11:38do we say was the plasma osmolality of
- 00:11:40the actual blood the blood plasma we
- 00:11:43said it was approximately around 300
- 00:11:46milliosmoles and then we said due to the
- 00:11:48filtration process as it's moving across
- 00:11:50we said it should be equal so isotonic
- 00:11:53right so this actual should be 300
- 00:11:56milliosmoles in the proximal convoluted
- 00:11:58tubules
- 00:11:59these should equalize so they should be
- 00:12:00isotonic with one another then we said
- 00:12:03after all the reabsorption and secretion
- 00:12:04mechanisms when it comes out here into
- 00:12:06this descending limb it should be what
- 00:12:09300 milliosmoles let's do this in a
- 00:12:11different color make it bright so that
- 00:12:13you guys remember so with this color
- 00:12:15here one more let's do with orange let's
- 00:12:18make this 300 milliosmoles so whenever
- 00:12:23it's leaving when it's leaving the
- 00:12:25proximal convoluted tubule it's 300
- 00:12:27milliosmoles okay sweet let's get back
- 00:12:29to this as we go up the ascending limb
- 00:12:32of the loop of Henle what do we say we
- 00:12:34had there remember we were pumping in
- 00:12:36from the filtrate we were pumping out
- 00:12:38sodium we were pumping out potassium and
- 00:12:41we were pumping out the two chloride
- 00:12:43ions right through the sodium potassium
- 00:12:44to cloud co-transporter and this was
- 00:12:48happening along the entire length of the
- 00:12:50ascending limb and it was doing a lot of
- 00:12:53this right how much of this sodium this
- 00:12:58potassium and this chloride is actually
- 00:13:00getting pumped out well a decent amount
- 00:13:02not as much as in the proximal
- 00:13:04convoluted tubule but it's still a
- 00:13:06decent amount
- 00:13:06remember we said about 65% of the sodium
- 00:13:10here and it's about 25% of the sodium
- 00:13:13within the ascending limb
- 00:13:16for the potassium it honestly it ranges
- 00:13:19so generally they say it's approximately
- 00:13:21about 30% and then for the chloride ions
- 00:13:27this is about 30%
- 00:13:29okay so again sodium 25 percent
- 00:13:33potassium 30 and chloride about 30
- 00:13:35percent we're at the calcium and
- 00:13:37magnesium remember we were actually
- 00:13:39having what was happening remember some
- 00:13:41of those potassium ions with my green
- 00:13:42mark raise some of the potassium and
- 00:13:44some of the potassium lines were leaking
- 00:13:45back in because there's a different
- 00:13:48gradients right and then when the
- 00:13:50potassium was leaking back into this
- 00:13:51actual tube you'll lumen it was
- 00:13:53generating a nice positively charged
- 00:13:57membrane depolarization right and what
- 00:14:00did that do it caused some of those
- 00:14:02calcium lines that was in this area to
- 00:14:03leak out remember there was calcium and
- 00:14:06there was magnesium and these ions
- 00:14:10started leaking out by that passive para
- 00:14:12cellular transport right out into the
- 00:14:14actual medullary space and they were
- 00:14:17also contributing to the medullary
- 00:14:19interstitial gradient making it saltier
- 00:14:21as you go down so what do we say we said
- 00:14:24if we had a lot of sodium a lot of
- 00:14:26potassium a lot of chloride a lot of
- 00:14:31magnesium and a lot of calcium that was
- 00:14:36making the medulla really salty and then
- 00:14:38what do we say we said here that water's
- 00:14:41coming down he's like a lot of saltiness
- 00:14:43over there I gotta go so what happens a
- 00:14:45lot of the water starts leaking out
- 00:14:48through the aquaporin ones into the
- 00:14:51medullary interstitial space to where
- 00:14:53there's actual all these solutes
- 00:14:55particularly sodium and chloride right
- 00:14:57now when that happens what a lot of this
- 00:14:59water is leaking out due to the sodium
- 00:15:03in the potassium and chloride and
- 00:15:04calcium and magnesium
- 00:15:05getting pumped out as it's going up what
- 00:15:08do we call that we called that D
- 00:15:13counter-current multiplier
- 00:15:19mechanism right okay sweet deal so that
- 00:15:25was where a lot of the water is getting
- 00:15:26reabsorbed so a lot of the water is
- 00:15:27getting reabsorbed right here too so we
- 00:15:29said sixty-five percent there it's
- 00:15:31approximately about 25 percent here okay
- 00:15:34because right with 65 plus 25 55 plus 25
- 00:15:37is zero Terry that one right there yeah
- 00:15:39so we're good yeah sorry so again about
- 00:15:4225 percent of the water is reabsorbed
- 00:15:46right here reason why I did that because
- 00:15:48there should only be about 10 percent
- 00:15:50left whenever we get up to the actual
- 00:15:52specifically the distal convoluted
- 00:15:54tubule okay okay 25 percent of the water
- 00:15:58we got all that part there now as we
- 00:16:01take this guy up okay as we take this
- 00:16:05guy up we're going to bring this
- 00:16:06actually should just not be 25 percent
- 00:16:08this should actually be 15 percent I'm
- 00:16:10sorry let me fix that this should be 20
- 00:16:12percent water left over okay so as we
- 00:16:15bring this actual filtrate up what do we
- 00:16:19say okay we're going to look at the
- 00:16:22actual tonicity for this in order for us
- 00:16:24to understand this we've lost a lot of
- 00:16:27water as we lost a lot of water out of
- 00:16:29the descending limb what are we losing
- 00:16:31then remember that the concept of
- 00:16:33tonicity we said there was hypertonic
- 00:16:35and then we said that there was isotonic
- 00:16:38and then we said that there was
- 00:16:41hypotonic hyper means that there's more
- 00:16:45solute less water
- 00:16:47isotonic means that there's a just an
- 00:16:48equal amount of water and solutes
- 00:16:50hypotonic means that there's actually a
- 00:16:52lot of water and left solute when we
- 00:16:54lost a lot of water if we lost a lot of
- 00:16:56ones that means that this is actually
- 00:16:57going to be hypertonic as compared to
- 00:17:00the plasma osmolality so right here
- 00:17:02should be hypertonic okay Queen so hyper
- 00:17:06sonic right there as we make the turn
- 00:17:10and we go up then when we do we're
- 00:17:11pumping out a lot of salt potassium
- 00:17:13chloride calcium magnesium and there's
- 00:17:16still about 20% of water left over if
- 00:17:18that's the case then as all this process
- 00:17:22is occurring throughout the entire
- 00:17:23length of the ascending limb by the time
- 00:17:25we go into the distal convoluted tubules
- 00:17:26what should it be it should be about 100
- 00:17:31to 200
- 00:17:33milliosmoles so this is very hypotonic
- 00:17:38right a lot of water very little salty
- 00:17:41it's not very salty and this is why
- 00:17:43that's why may that little mistake sorry
- 00:17:4520 percent of it should actually be
- 00:17:47water and then a little bit of about 10
- 00:17:49percent of it should actually be sodium
- 00:17:51okay all right cool so hypertonic as you
- 00:17:56get done with this one there should be
- 00:17:57hypotonic then as we went into the
- 00:18:01distal convoluted tubules so there was
- 00:18:02two parts the early distal tubules and
- 00:18:04the late distal tubules so you guys
- 00:18:05remember we kind of separated those kind
- 00:18:08of like right here right and what did we
- 00:18:11say happened we said with alien early
- 00:18:14distal two of you oh we had those sodium
- 00:18:15and chloride symporters right we were
- 00:18:18bringing the sodium in we were also
- 00:18:19bringing the chloride in and we were
- 00:18:21doing it through these actual nice
- 00:18:22protein channels but the only way that
- 00:18:25we could really do this was on the
- 00:18:26basolateral membrane what do we have we
- 00:18:30had those sodium potassium pumps which
- 00:18:32were comping the sodium right against
- 00:18:35its concentration gradient and the
- 00:18:36potassium against its concentration
- 00:18:38gradient approximately 3 sodium for
- 00:18:40every 2 potassium and what do we say
- 00:18:42this process required they required a
- 00:18:44lot of energy so required ATP but it
- 00:18:47helped to be able to do what it helped
- 00:18:50to be able to bring the sodium and the
- 00:18:51chloride in and then what could happen
- 00:18:53with these guys we said that the sodium
- 00:18:55could actually be brought out into the
- 00:18:57blood and the court could be brought
- 00:18:58onto the blood right and this is the
- 00:19:00process of reabsorption ok what else do
- 00:19:04we say could happen here we also said
- 00:19:06that at the other early part of the
- 00:19:08distal to build their specialized
- 00:19:10specificity depending upon hormones
- 00:19:12right remember there was that hormone
- 00:19:14that we talked about produced by a gland
- 00:19:17let's actually show them up here
- 00:19:18remember we had here the thyroid gland
- 00:19:22and then on the back of the thyroid
- 00:19:24gland you had these tiny little glands
- 00:19:25here they were called the parathyroid
- 00:19:27gland and they were producing a special
- 00:19:29hormone and that special hormone was
- 00:19:31called the parathyroid hormone and what
- 00:19:35was the parathyroid hormone responding
- 00:19:36to it was responding to low blood
- 00:19:38calcium levels hypocalcemia so whenever
- 00:19:41there is hypo kalsi Nia
- 00:19:45this can be a stimulus to the
- 00:19:47parathyroid gland and cause the
- 00:19:49parathyroid hormone to produce to be
- 00:19:51produced and again what does
- 00:19:52hypocalcemia low blood calcium levels
- 00:19:56when the parathyroid hormone comes over
- 00:19:58here what did he do
- 00:19:59remember he stimulated a g-protein
- 00:20:02coupled receptor and the overall result
- 00:20:04was the activated cyclic AMP II we're
- 00:20:07not going to go through the whole
- 00:20:07mechanism here but remember he activated
- 00:20:10cyclic AMP II which activated protein
- 00:20:11kinase a and what did that do that
- 00:20:15activated a specialized channel and this
- 00:20:19channel is not as a modulated channel
- 00:20:21right it's dependent upon parathyroid
- 00:20:23hormone so a protein kinase a does is he
- 00:20:25comes over here and phosphorylates that
- 00:20:27channel and what happens it allows for
- 00:20:30calcium ions that are still in the
- 00:20:32filtrate right because about 10 percent
- 00:20:34of the calcium is actually going to be
- 00:20:35coming about to this point here the
- 00:20:37calcium can get reabsorbed here but a
- 00:20:39defense upon that phosphorylation point
- 00:20:41and then what else did we say we also
- 00:20:43say that there were these transporters
- 00:20:45on the basolateral membrane that were
- 00:20:47pumping sodium in while you pump the
- 00:20:50calcium out into the blood to get the
- 00:20:54calcium out here it's a blood stream to
- 00:20:56increase the blood calcium levels and it
- 00:20:58could be by this sodium calcium
- 00:20:59exchanger or it could also be due to
- 00:21:01another exchanger which is actually
- 00:21:05going to be let's put that one right
- 00:21:06here this could be due to protons
- 00:21:09protons would have to come in and then
- 00:21:12this calcium ions would have to come out
- 00:21:15and this would actually depend upon the
- 00:21:17direct utilization of ATP alright so
- 00:21:20this process right here would require
- 00:21:21ATP so we deal okay that was talking
- 00:21:27about the calcium reabsorption but again
- 00:21:28we said it was dependent upon
- 00:21:29parathyroid hormone you know what else
- 00:21:31is really cool about the parathyroid
- 00:21:32hormone that he's not only causing this
- 00:21:34calcium reabsorption he also deals with
- 00:21:36phosphates in the blood so you know in
- 00:21:38certain situations force phosphate
- 00:21:39actually reabsorbed come here for a
- 00:21:41second phosphate is actually reabsorbed
- 00:21:43right here let's you draw a phosphate
- 00:21:46and a let's do this one and actually
- 00:21:49just do this one black so here's the
- 00:21:52phosphate right
- 00:21:53so you have and usually it's in the form
- 00:21:55of hpo4 to negative right
- 00:21:58mono hydrogen fall
- 00:21:59State and what happens is this phosphate
- 00:22:01can actually naturally get reabsorbed
- 00:22:03into the bloodstream actually a good
- 00:22:05portion of about eighty-five percent of
- 00:22:07it is actually absorbed within the
- 00:22:08proximal convoluted tubules
- 00:22:10but if the parathyroid hormone is
- 00:22:13present if the parathyroid hormones
- 00:22:16present what it will actually do is is
- 00:22:18it'll actually cause phosphate excretion
- 00:22:20so what the parathyroid hormone will
- 00:22:23come over here and do is it will inhibit
- 00:22:25this process if it inhibits this process
- 00:22:27the phosphate is lost in the air and
- 00:22:29that cool yeah all right
- 00:22:31let's come back over here for a second
- 00:22:34another thing that I want to talk about
- 00:22:37here is right here this was this
- 00:22:39structure here remember we call this the
- 00:22:40basal recta we also had another special
- 00:22:43name for it he was also called the
- 00:22:47counter-current exchanger right he
- 00:22:52wasn't responsible for making the
- 00:22:54medullary interstitial gradient this
- 00:22:55whole nice saltiness of the medulla he
- 00:22:58helped to maintain it right to prevent
- 00:23:00the rapid removal of the sodium chloride
- 00:23:02how did he do that
- 00:23:03remember we said some of that salt that
- 00:23:05sodium was pumped out here that
- 00:23:07potassium was pumped out here the two
- 00:23:09chloride ions were pumped out here what
- 00:23:11happens is as you move down well again
- 00:23:13what's that magic a inter social
- 00:23:14gradient like 300 500 700 900 1200 about
- 00:23:20right this is in milliosmoles as you go
- 00:23:23down and get saltier
- 00:23:24so what likes to happen then as you go
- 00:23:27down if you think about it if it's
- 00:23:30really really salty who's going to want
- 00:23:31to leave
- 00:23:32water water loves this salty stuff so as
- 00:23:35you're coming down water is actually
- 00:23:37going to start leaking out into this
- 00:23:40actual imaginary interstitial space okay
- 00:23:45and then salt is going to be really
- 00:23:46really rich in this area so it's going
- 00:23:48to actually move in so what will happen
- 00:23:50to this actual salt the sodium and the
- 00:23:53chloride ions will move in and as you
- 00:23:57think about that as you're going down is
- 00:23:59trying to equilibria with the actual
- 00:24:01medullary interstitial gradient so for
- 00:24:02example B 300 here 500 in here 700 in
- 00:24:06here 900 here and 1200 here but then
- 00:24:08when it makes the turn over here
- 00:24:10something really cool happens
- 00:24:11the exact opposite occurs now the water
- 00:24:14is going to want to come back in as the
- 00:24:18water starts coming back in a little bit
- 00:24:21of salt is actually thrown back out but
- 00:24:25here's what's really cool as the salt
- 00:24:28its thrown back out into the medulla to
- 00:24:32prevent the rapid removal he keeps a
- 00:24:36little bit of that salt a little bit you
- 00:24:39wouldn't know how much okay what was it
- 00:24:41going in it should be 300 milliosmoles
- 00:24:43that's what we said the plasma
- 00:24:44osmolality is leaving it's just a little
- 00:24:47bit higher 325 million Wells so he helps
- 00:24:51to contribute to the rapid removal of
- 00:24:53the sodium and chloride from this
- 00:24:55medullary inter station to help to
- 00:24:57contribute and maintain the medullary
- 00:25:00interstitial gradient okay sweet deal
- 00:25:03that was there with the counter current
- 00:25:05exchanger then we got into the late
- 00:25:08distal tubules and that one we also said
- 00:25:10was actually very dependent upon a
- 00:25:11hormone what was that hormone that
- 00:25:13hormone was actually going to be
- 00:25:15aldosterone right and we said
- 00:25:18aldosterone was actually produced by
- 00:25:20what was produced by the adrenal cortex
- 00:25:22and we said there was a special part of
- 00:25:24the adrenal cortex here right it was
- 00:25:26called the zona glomerulosa and we said
- 00:25:29the zona glomerulosa is producing
- 00:25:32aldosterone and aldosterone is usually
- 00:25:34stimulated whenever there's presence of
- 00:25:36angiotensin 2 or if the sodium levels in
- 00:25:39the blood are low remember we said the
- 00:25:41sodium levels in the blood are low in
- 00:25:44the potassium levels in the blood are
- 00:25:45high that could stimulate the release of
- 00:25:47aldosterone as well as angiotensin 2 is
- 00:25:51a stimulator of this ok and this is a
- 00:25:53stimulator okay da strands released what
- 00:25:57does he do
- 00:25:58we're not going to go over the whole
- 00:25:59mechanism we already did that we're
- 00:26:02going to say that he just stimulates
- 00:26:03special genes right and those genes lead
- 00:26:06to the production of 3 different
- 00:26:07proteins one of the proteins was to get
- 00:26:11what get the sodium in then we said it
- 00:26:16developed another protein and this other
- 00:26:17protein that it made was designed to be
- 00:26:19able to pump 3 sodium out into potassium
- 00:26:22in so he's increasing the expression of
- 00:26:24the sodium potassium
- 00:26:25pumps right and these pumps required ATP
- 00:26:29because they're pumping things against
- 00:26:31their concentration gradient what else
- 00:26:33do we say it also made these channels
- 00:26:37for the potassium to excrete the
- 00:26:40potassium out right so this potassium
- 00:26:42though is really high in the blood it's
- 00:26:43actually getting pumped out into the
- 00:26:46filtrate and the sodium that was really
- 00:26:48low in the bloodstream we're increasing
- 00:26:50it by bringing more sodium into the
- 00:26:54bloodstream okay so we're trying to
- 00:26:55bring in the sodium up and put the
- 00:26:56potassium down what a wise angiotensin
- 00:27:00to being stimulated because we have low
- 00:27:01blood pressure so there might not be
- 00:27:03enough of water in the bloodstream if we
- 00:27:04bring more water in we can increase the
- 00:27:06blood volume and increase the blood
- 00:27:07pressure how does that happen
- 00:27:08remember there's another structure here
- 00:27:11let's draw this structure and about
- 00:27:17mammillary bodies hypothalamus anterior
- 00:27:20and posterior pituitary they're not
- 00:27:22testicles I promise we said that there's
- 00:27:24these specialized Osmo receptors that
- 00:27:27are stimulated right usually do the
- 00:27:29called organum vascular some of lamina
- 00:27:31terminalis a sub funicular organ they
- 00:27:33stimulate the Supra optic nucleus and
- 00:27:36trigger the release of and - Doretta
- 00:27:38core Mon whenever the plasma osmolality
- 00:27:41is what whenever you have a high plasma
- 00:27:45osmolality what does that mean molality
- 00:27:50I'm allowing means whenever you have a
- 00:27:52high plasma osmolality that means that
- 00:27:54you have a lot of salt and very little
- 00:27:56water so what we're going to do we're
- 00:27:58going to release antidiuretic hormone
- 00:27:59answered erratic comas gonna work on the
- 00:28:01collecting duct the deeper parts of it
- 00:28:02and the cortical part here or like the
- 00:28:04late distal tubules so look what happens
- 00:28:06inside a'right a corpsman can come over
- 00:28:08here and it can stimulate this cell to
- 00:28:10do what to make special aquaporins like
- 00:28:13aquaporin - so if we make these
- 00:28:16aquaporin two molecules what is that
- 00:28:17going to do that's going to open up
- 00:28:19these channels right they're going to
- 00:28:21make these channels that can pull water
- 00:28:23with it and if the water is flowing in
- 00:28:26what's going to happen the water can
- 00:28:27actually go into the bloodstream and if
- 00:28:30the water goes into the bloodstream what
- 00:28:31happens to the actual blood volume
- 00:28:34increases the blood volume which does
- 00:28:35what to the blood pressure increases the
- 00:28:38blood
- 00:28:38all right we deal there right so again
- 00:28:42now doctrine does what three things
- 00:28:44increases the sodium-potassium pumps
- 00:28:47makes the sodium channels to bring
- 00:28:48sodium in and makes these actual
- 00:28:50potassium channels to put potassium out
- 00:28:52and then the presence of antidiuretic
- 00:28:54hormone it can express aquaporin tubes
- 00:28:56which can bring the actual water and
- 00:28:59increase blood volume increase blood
- 00:29:00pressure all right in the same way anted
- 00:29:03Rhetta Cuomo can act on the cells or the
- 00:29:05collecting duct look how he does it here
- 00:29:06remember which actually showed you that
- 00:29:08antidiuretic hormone we comes over here
- 00:29:11and binds on to v2 receptors and
- 00:29:15remember these v2 receptors of the basal
- 00:29:17press and receptors activated a
- 00:29:19g-protein activated adenylate cyclase
- 00:29:23which did what turned ATP into cyclic
- 00:29:27A&P and the cyclic AMP e activated
- 00:29:29protein kinase a you guys already know
- 00:29:32this what happens it increases the
- 00:29:35expression I'm sorry not the expression
- 00:29:37it actually activates by phosphorylating
- 00:29:40these specialized proteins on these
- 00:29:45vesicles right remember it activates
- 00:29:47these specific proteins on the vesicles
- 00:29:50let's show you these proteins here in
- 00:29:52red I say here is these proteins on the
- 00:29:54synaptic vesicles and what does protein
- 00:29:57kinase a do protein kinase a comes over
- 00:30:00here and actually phosphorylates them
- 00:30:02and stimulates them to migrate to the
- 00:30:05membrane and what happens it plugs into
- 00:30:08the membrane these little aquaporins and
- 00:30:13again this is aquaporin too and then
- 00:30:17what starts coming in water and if water
- 00:30:20starts flowing in what's going to happen
- 00:30:24the water will flow into the actual
- 00:30:27tubular cells and then there's these
- 00:30:28aquaporin 3 & 4 proteins we said on the
- 00:30:31basolateral membrane what will happen
- 00:30:33the water will go into the bloodstream
- 00:30:35as the water goes into the bloodstream
- 00:30:37what happens to the actual blood volume
- 00:30:39you're going to increase in blood volume
- 00:30:41which increases your blood pressure what
- 00:30:43else did we say well originally the
- 00:30:45plasma osmolality was high it was very
- 00:30:48hypertonic if we bring more water in we
- 00:30:52bring the
- 00:30:52asthma osmolality down back to a normal
- 00:30:58range of approximately 300 milliosmoles
- 00:31:02okay what else did we say remember we
- 00:31:05had the intercalated a thousand
- 00:31:06intercalated b-cells and they were
- 00:31:08functioning during metabolic acidosis
- 00:31:10and alkalosis remember what they were
- 00:31:12doing remember we had the a cell let's
- 00:31:14say this is the intercalated a cell
- 00:31:15remember was actually taking the co2
- 00:31:19combining with water to form carbonic
- 00:31:21acid right and then if you remember
- 00:31:24carbonic acid which age was h2 co3 which
- 00:31:28can disassociate into protons and
- 00:31:31bicarbonate and we said remember
- 00:31:34intercalated a cells us for acidosis so
- 00:31:37what does that mean
- 00:31:37we can pump proton out and who do we
- 00:31:41bring in a little bit of potassium right
- 00:31:44then what do we say if it's acidosis
- 00:31:47that means that the blood pH is really
- 00:31:49low what are going to do we're going to
- 00:31:51bring bicarb into the blood and what are
- 00:31:54we going to do to prevent excessive
- 00:31:55changes in the ions moving across this
- 00:31:57membrane we're going to bring chloride
- 00:31:58ions in if we bring a lot of bicarb out
- 00:32:01what you're going to do the pH it's
- 00:32:03going to bring the pH back up to normal
- 00:32:04ranges okay that was one of things we
- 00:32:06said then what else remember we had the
- 00:32:09intercalated B cell this was the be
- 00:32:12filling it was four basic conditions our
- 00:32:14metabolic alkalosis right same concept
- 00:32:17what do we say here co2 combines with
- 00:32:20water when that happens what do you get
- 00:32:23you get carbonic acid this is driven by
- 00:32:26the carbonic anhydrase enzyme and again
- 00:32:28this is driven by the carbonic anhydrase
- 00:32:29enzyme this breaks down into bicarbonate
- 00:32:33and into protons what do we say is the
- 00:32:37difference here now we excrete aathi
- 00:32:39bicarb and we bring in the chloride ions
- 00:32:43right to prevent the excessive change
- 00:32:44there then what do we do we push the
- 00:32:47protons out here why because we said
- 00:32:49that the blood is in a basic situation
- 00:32:51what does that mean that means that the
- 00:32:53pH is high if we bring a lot of these
- 00:32:55protons in what is it going to do it's
- 00:32:58going to bring the pH back
- 00:33:01okay and that's how our body deals with
- 00:33:03this metabolic acidosis and alkalosis
- 00:33:05situations what else did we say remember
- 00:33:08we also said that there can also be a
- 00:33:10little bit of certain substances that
- 00:33:12can be secreted out in this area too I
- 00:33:13draw one more cell here remember we said
- 00:33:16we can actually have excretion of drugs
- 00:33:19we can actually excrete out ammonia
- 00:33:21remember we have ammonia and they can
- 00:33:24combine with one of these protons out
- 00:33:25here like for example this proton here
- 00:33:27let's say it combines with this proton
- 00:33:29that actually got pushed down what can
- 00:33:31we get out of this these two react we
- 00:33:34get ammonium and what else do we say
- 00:33:37that we could excrete - it could also
- 00:33:39excrete creatinine all right and there's
- 00:33:45even other substances that could also be
- 00:33:46treated like uric acid and even a little
- 00:33:48bit of other nitrogenous waste products
- 00:33:50one more thing at the end part of the
- 00:33:54collecting duct what was that molecule
- 00:33:55that actually was left over a lot of
- 00:33:57water was lost so as a lot of water was
- 00:34:00lost out to extend this actual
- 00:34:02collecting duct down a little farther
- 00:34:04here and we get down as we get on to the
- 00:34:08bottom part there's just a little bit of
- 00:34:11all of this substance left over what
- 00:34:14color did we make him let's make him
- 00:34:15green this substance is called urea
- 00:34:19remember your Rio was absorbed within
- 00:34:21the actual what the proximal convoluted
- 00:34:23tubule well some of the urea is actually
- 00:34:27reabsorbed here at the end of the
- 00:34:29collecting duct and what do we say that
- 00:34:31urea is doing we said some of that urea
- 00:34:33is actually being recycled
- 00:34:36remember it's actually moving over here
- 00:34:37and as it's moving over here to get
- 00:34:40recycled what happens some of that urea
- 00:34:42might accumulate here in the medullary
- 00:34:46interstitial space and urea is a solute
- 00:34:48it's more of a lipid soluble solute but
- 00:34:51still nonetheless it can attract water
- 00:34:53because it can contribute to the
- 00:34:55medullary interstitial gradient what is
- 00:34:58that going to do that's going to allow
- 00:34:59for more water to flow out of what more
- 00:35:02water to flow out of the descending limb
- 00:35:04so it's going to contribute to making
- 00:35:06concentrated urine so again what does
- 00:35:08this process here called it's called
- 00:35:11urea
- 00:35:13recycling all right sweet deal and again
- 00:35:18a lot of that urea could actually get
- 00:35:19lost in the urine as well as well as
- 00:35:21other substances that we'll talk about
- 00:35:23during the Victorian reflex when we talk
- 00:35:25about the composition in the urine okay
- 00:35:27so in a nutshell guys we covered a lot
- 00:35:31of this stuff here right one thing I
- 00:35:33didn't finish off with is this sodium in
- 00:35:36water I'm sorry twenty percent of the
- 00:35:37water right is remaining 20 percent of
- 00:35:40water because 65 percent of it was
- 00:35:41reabsorbed here and the PCT and about 15
- 00:35:44percent of it was reabsorbed here in the
- 00:35:45loop of Henle specifically the
- 00:35:47descending the remaining water that's
- 00:35:51left over is dependent upon the presence
- 00:35:53of antibiotic hormones so you the amount
- 00:35:56of water that you reabsorb is variable
- 00:35:58the sodium there's about 10 percent of
- 00:36:02the actual sodium remaining this sodium
- 00:36:05a small percentage about five to six
- 00:36:09percent of the sodium is actually to the
- 00:36:13sodium chloride symporter the remaining
- 00:36:16of four or five percent is dependent
- 00:36:19upon the actual odd Ostrom okay
- 00:36:23and then we said that calcium was
- 00:36:24dependent upon the parathyroid hormone
- 00:36:26iron is in this video we covered a lot
- 00:36:28of information we covered basically
- 00:36:30everything that we covered throughout
- 00:36:31the series of videos I hope all of them
- 00:36:32made sense I really hope you guys
