Abstracts
How to address an unsatisfactory grade: see which sections most points were lost, and concentrate on improving those sections.
Revised abstract due Wednesday Exam Day at 9:00 am.Submit revised abstract, original abstract, original stats report, and 1st Grading rubric all paper-clipped in this order, with revised abstract on top, signed only on the backside.
Overall abstract grade proportion to be determined.
Goal is to master the skill of writing a good abstract.
Renal Physiology
• Structures of the kidney• Three fundamental renal mechanisms
– Filtration– Reabsorption– Secretion
• Functions of the kidneys– Homeostasis
• Fluid balance (blood pressure)• Electrolyte balance (blood pressure, membrane excitability)• Acid-base balance (in concert with lungs)
Kidneys are source of 3 hormones: Renin, EPO, and Vit D.Kidneys are targets of 3 hormones: ADH, Aldosterone, ANH
Topics discussed: cortex, medulla, kidney stones, micturition (detrussor, internal and external urethra sphincters and innervation), incidence of bladder infections by gender, urethral sphincters
Renal artery = One way in. Two ways out of kidney (renal vein or ureter)
Distinction between urine and tubular fluid.

Renalcorpuscle
Juxtamedullary and Cortical Nephrons
Peritubular Capillaraies and branch thereof called vasa recta
The nephron

Membrane proteins are segregated into apical (luminal) and basolateral membranes.
Special terms• Filtration: movement of fluid from blood into
the lumen of the nephron
• Reabsorption: the movement of specific compounds from the lumen back into the blood (peritubular capillaries)
• Secretion: the transport of specific compounds from blood into the lumen
• Excretion: elimination from the body in urine
