Q

Ascending limb

A

Impermeable to water
Na+/2Cl-/K+ symporter
K+ leaks in to lumen->more positive->drives reabsorption
Na+/H+ anti porter leads to HCO3- reabsorption
Sodium pump

1
Q

Descending limb

A

Highly permeable to water->diffusion

Impermeable to NaCl

2
Q

Early distal tubule

A

Impermeable to water
Sodium pump in bassolateral membrane
Na+/Cl- symporter, Cl- leaves via diffusion
Ca+ and Mg+ reabsorption
H+ secreted by Na+/H+ exchanger-> bicarbonate reabsorption or buffers

3
Q

Late distal tubule,principal cell

A

Na+ reabsorption by diffusion and 3Na+/K+ exchanger

Cl- by diffusion

4
Q

Late distal tubule, intercalated cell

A

Secretion of H+, reabsorption of HCO3- and K+ (K+/H+)

Generation of new bicarbonate because of high carbonic anhydrase

5
Q

Aldosterone

A

Enhances Na+ reabsorption
Enhances K+ secretion
Enhances H+ secretion

6
Q

ADH

A

Insertion of AQP 2, mainly in principal cells-> increased water reabsorption. Insertions via vasopressin and cAMP activation.
Also increases permeability of inner medullary collecting duct to urea-> increased urea reabsorption
