NEPHRON
ELECTROLYTES
-
-
CHLORIDE
-
-
-
lost in sweating, stomach secretions, and urine
Hyperchloremia: causes changes in concentration of other ions if the nerve excitability is decreased
too much chloride in the diet, diarrhea, kidney disease, metabolic acidosis are causes
-
CALCIUM
-
-
-
-
triggers action potential in cardiac muscle contraction, serves as 2nd messenger and particles in blood clotting
PHOSPHATE
-
component of nucleotides in DNA, RNA
-
-
Alkalosis/alkalemia:
results in the process of reducing hydrogen ion concentration of blood plasma/when the serum of pH is higher than normal
NEPHRON PHYSIOLOGY
FILTRATION
-
Water and solutes enter the Bowman's capsule due to the difference in pressure across filtration membrane
-
-
-
-
REABSORPTION
-
-
-
substances that are in the fluid move by diffusion, osmosis or active transport
-
-
SECRETION
movement of solutes, usually by active transport out of the blood
