Chapter 26, Problem 1CTQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The short-term effects of the toxin, which blocks the reabsorption in the renal tubule, but does not affect filtration.
Introduction:
The formation of urine takes place in the nephrons in the kidney. The nephron is divided into the collecting duct, glomerular capsule, loop of Henle, PCT (proximal convoluted tubule), and DCT (distal convoluted tubule). Each and every part of the nephron is assigned a separate function, which ranges from filtration of blood to absorption of water and other essential minerals.

Imagine the discovery of a new toxin that blocks renal tubule reabsorption but does not aff ect filtration. Predict the short-term eff ects of this toxin.
Predict the short-term effects of a toxin that blocks renal tubular reabsorption but does not affect filtration
The renal handling of a novel drug is being studied. When the drug is present in the blood, it is filtered into the Bowman’s capsule and secreted via transport proteins in the renal tubules, but it is NOT reabsorbed. The lines on the following graph represent filtration, secretion and excretion rates of this drug at various plasma concentrations.
For the three lines shown (labeled A-C) identify which line represents filtration, which line represents secretion, and which line represents excretion
Explain how you determined this.

- Nearly all renal diseases result in hypertension. In fact, some clinicians have a 'rule' that states "unexplained hypertension is always a result of a problem with the kidneys until proven otherwise". Briefly explain why hypertension occurs in renal disease.arrow_forwardThe distal nephron is able to fine-tune sodium and water balance because it can regulate reabsorption of sodium and water independently of each other. This is unlike the proximal nephron, where an increase in sodium reabsorption will lead to an increase in water reabsorption due to the creation of an osmotic gradient and free permeability to both sodium and water. How does vasopressin affect water reabsorption in the distal nephron in response to a negative water balance? Increased circulating vasopressin increases expression of aquaporin on the luminal membrane. O Increased circulating vasopressin decreases expression of aquaporin on the luminal membrane. Decreased circulating vasopressin increases expression of aquaporin on the luminal membrane. Decreased circulating vasopressin decreases expression of aquaporin on the luminal membrane.arrow_forwardAlthough the kidneys are probably best known as filtration organs, they also help control blood pressure. Explain their role in this process. please help with examplesarrow_forward
