Study Objective 1: SO 26.2 Describe the anatomy of the kidneys
Study Objective 2: SO 26.2.2 Trace the path of blood flow through the kidneys.
Section Reference 1: Sec 26.2 Anatomy and Histology of the Kidneys
Solution: Kidneys receive 20 to 25% of the resting cardiac output via the renal arteries. The renal
arteries branch to form segmental arteries, which branch to form interlobar arteries (through
renal columns) to arcuate arteries (over bases of pyramids) to interlobular arteries. The
interlobular arteries branch to form afferent arterioles to each nephron. Afferent arterioles branch
to form glomerular capillaries where filtration occurs. Glomerular capillaries merge to form
efferent arterioles, which then branch to form peritubular capillaries. Juxtamedullary nephrons
also have vasa recta capillaries around them. Peritubular capillaries merge to form peritubular
veins and with the vasa recta to form interlobular veins to arcuate veins to interlobar veins.
Blood exits the kidney via renal veins.
46) Trace the flow of a water molecule through the nephrons from the afferent arteriole to the
minor calyx.
Difficulty: Medium
Study Objective 1: SO 26.5 Describe tubular reabsorption and secretion.
Study Objective 2: SO 26.5.2 Describe how specific segments of the renal tubule and collecting
duct reabsorb water and solutes.
Section Reference 1: Sec 26.5 Tubular Reabsorption and Tubular Secretion.
Solution: The water would flow from the afferent arteriole into the glomerulus, where it would
be filtered into the Bowmans capsule. From the Bowmans capsule, it would enter the proximal
convoluted tubule (PCT). Most of its companion water molecules would be reabsorbed into the
blood from the PCT. The next part of the trip would take the water molecule through the
descending of the nephron loop, where more of its companion water molecules would be
reabsorbed. From there, the water molecule would climb the ascending nephron loop and move
into the distal convoluted tubule (DCT). Toward the end of the DCT and most of the collecting
duct, there are principal cells that respond to ADH and can reabsorb more water molecules. If not
reabsorbed in the DCT or the collecting duct, the water molecule would move into the papillary
duct that drains into the minor calyx.
47) Describe the structural features of the renal corpuscle that enhance its blood filtering
capacity.
Difficulty: Medium
Study Objective 1: SO 26.4 Describe glomerular filtration.
Study Objective 2: SO 26.4.1 Describe the filtration membrane.
Section Reference 1: Sec 26.4 Glomerular Filtration
Solution: Endothelial cells of the glomerular capillaries are fenestrated. Their basement
membranes are part of the filtering mechanism. Podocytes with filtration slits between pedicels
wrap the glomerular capillaries. The large surface area also contributes to filtering ability, as
does the high glomerular hydrostatic pressure created by the arrangement of the afferent and
efferent arterioles, in which the diameter of the efferent arteriole is smaller than that of the
afferent arteriole.
48) Describe in detail how the renin angiotensin negative feedback loop helps regulate blood
pressure and glomerular filtration rate in response to dehydration.
Difficulty: Medium
Study Objective 1: SO 26.5 Describe tubular reabsorption and secretion.
Study Objective 2: SO 26.5.2 Describe how specific segments of the renal tubule and collecting
duct reabsorb water and solutes.
Section Reference 1: Sec 26.5 Tubular Reabsorption and Tubular Secretion.
Solution: Dehydration causes a decrease in blood volume and pressure, which then decreases
glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The juxtaglomerular( JG) cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus
sense decreased stretch and macula densa cells sense decreased water. The JG cells secrete renin,
which converts angiotensinogen in blood to angiotensin I. The latter is converted to angiotensin
II by angiotensin converting enzymes in the lungs. Angiotensin II causes constriction of efferent
arterioles, increased thirst, greater ADH secretion from the posterior pituitary, and increased
secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex. Blood volume is increased, which increases
venous return, stroke volume, cardiac output, and blood pressure. GFR is also increased.
49) Discuss the importance of countercurrent flow to the functioning of the nephron.
Difficulty: Medium
Study Objective 1: SO 26.6 Describe how the renal tubule and collecting ducts produce dilute
and concentrated urine.
Section Reference 1: Sec 26.6 Production of Dilute and Concentrated Urine
Solution: Countercurrent flow refers to the flow of fluid in opposite directions in parallel tubing
(tubules and blood vessels). The arrangement allows gradients to develop between tubular fluid,
blood, and interstitial fluid. Gradients allow for reabsorption of large amounts of water and ions
from the tubular fluid.
