Renal 1
Across
- 2. Passive movement into peritubular capillaries driven by Starling forces
- 7. Site of fine-tuning, hormone sensitive (ADH, aldosterone)
- 8. Site of countercurrent multiplier system
- 10. Normal daily urine output ~1.5 L/day
- 12. Normal filtration rate ~120 mL/min (≈180 L/day)
- 13. State of tubular fluid in thick ascending limb
- 15. Glucose in urine when plasma glucose exceeds threshold
- 17. Character of reabsorption in PCT (no osmotic change)
- 18. Tubular maximum transport rate (~300 mg/min for glucose)
- 19. Excessive hunger in uncontrolled diabetes
- 21. Basolateral pump maintaining Na⁺ gradient for reabsorption
- 22. Gold standard to measure GFR
- 23. Gold standard to measure renal plasma flow
- 26. Mechanism in Loop of Henle creating medullary gradient
- 28. Functional unit of the kidney
- 29. Hormone that promotes sodium excretion and opposes RAAS
- 30. Site where ~65% of Na⁺, water, glucose, and amino acids are reabsorbed
- 31. Hormone that increases water permeability of DCT and collecting duct
- 33. Rightward shift of pressure-natriuresis curve
- 34. End-product used clinically to estimate GFR
- 35. Secreted in exchange for Na⁺ at apical membrane
- 38. Secreted in exchange for Na⁺ at basolateral membrane under aldosterone
- 40. Mechanism by which water always follows solute
- 41. Final site where urine concentration is adjusted
Down
- 1. Microvilli on PCT apical side that increase surface area
- 3. Hormone that vasoconstricts, increases thirst and aldosterone
- 4. Increased urine volume, one of 3 P’s of diabetes
- 5. Hormone that increases Na⁺ reabsorption and K⁺ secretion
- 6. State of tubular fluid in descending loop of Henle
- 9. Excessive thirst in uncontrolled diabetes
- 11. Used clinically as a measure of GFR
- 14. Volume of plasma cleared of a substance per unit time
- 16. CAPSULE Starting point of nephron where filtration occurs
- 20. Increased Na⁺ excretion when arterial pressure rises
- 24. Waste product reabsorbed passively with water movement
- 25. Enzyme released from kidney to activate RAAS
- 27. Plasma glucose ~180 mg/dL where glucosuria begins
- 32. Called the diluting segment, impermeable to water
- 36. Movement from capillaries into tubule
- 37. Movement from tubule back to capillaries
- 39. Movement of plasma water and solutes into Bowman’s capsule
