Early Filtrate Processing- PCT & LOOP OF HENLE.

Summary of Reabsorption in the PCT • To summarize the activities of the proximal convoluted tubule: • Sodium/potassium ATPase ion pumps in the basolateral membrane drive the reabsorption of water and solutes by increasing the sodium ion concentration of the interstitium. • Hydrogen ions are secreted into the filtrate to provide an acid/base balance. • Abundant channels and transport molecules in the luminal membrane provide passage for solutes to move down their concentration gradients between the filtrate and the cytosol of the cell. • Water and solutes move by bulk flow from the interstitium into peritubular capillaries to complete their reabsorption process. • As a result, valued substances have been reclaimed. Approximately 65% of the filtrate is reabsorbed into the peritubular capillaries from the PCT. Included in this reabsorbed volume is virtually 100% of the filtered glucose, amino acids, and any proteins that may have escaped from the glomerulus.

Reabsorption in Thin Descending Loop of Henle • descending loop of Henle dips into the medulla, and its epithelium changes from cuboidal to flattened squamous cells. • Increased permeable to water, allowing diffusion in response to osmotic gradients. The increasingly high osmolarity of the medullary interstitium provides a strong osmotic gradient that pulls water out of the filtrate. • flattened cells lack transport proteins. As a result of these conditions, a great deal of water leaves the filtrate, while solutes are retained. This causes the filtrate to become increasingly more concentrated as it passes down the tube

• thin squamous cells transition to simple cuboidal cells of the thick ascending limb. • Water permeability of these cells is greatly restricted • have a limited number of short microvilli containing many ion channels and secondary active transport molecules. Luminal Membrane Reabsorption in Ascending Loop of Henle secondary active transport molecule cotransports a potassium ion and two chloride ions. The import of potassium does not increase the cell's potassium concentration, because these ions diffuse back into the filtrate through the potassium ion channels in the luminal and basolateral membranes. the imported chloride ions follow the sodium ions through the cytosol to the basolateral membrane.

Basolateral Membrane Reabsorption in the Ascending Loop of Henle • same sodium-potassium ATPase ion pumps and potassium channels as do the cells of the proximal convoluted tubule. These pumps generate a sodium ion concentration gradient that drives the reabsorption of other substances through the luminal membrane. • chloride channel allows chloride ions entering from the luminal membrane to follow sodium ions out of the cell. • The osmolarity of the interstitial fluid is increasing. The restricted diffusion of water out of the filtrate, prevents equilibration of the filtrate and interstitial fluid. • The cells of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle are able to maintain an osmotic difference between these two fluids of approximately 200 milliosmoles.

Summary of Ascending Limb of the Loop of Henle Activity as a result of solutes being removed from the filtrate and water being retained, there are two very important effects: The filtrate becomes increasingly dilute as it moves up the tubule. 2) The osmolarity of the interstitium is 200 milliosmoles greater than the osmolarity of the filtrate at any given level of the tubule. • Notice particularly that this has also formed an osmolarity gradient from the bottom of the interstitium to the top. In this medullary osmotic gradient, the osmolarity of the deeper region is greater than that of the region close to the cortex.

The Loop of Henle: A Countercurrent Multiplier theory of how the loop of Henle forms the medullary osmotic gradient called the countercurrent theory because of the opposing flow of filtrate within the two limbs of the loop. • The complex interplay of the ascending and descending limbs forms and maintains an interstitial osmolarity with a gradient from approximately 1200 milliosmoles near the bottom of the loop to the normal 300 milliosmoles near the cortex. The gradient formed by this activity is essential for the concentration of urine. • The ascending limb of the loop actively transports sodium chloride into the interstitium, increasing its concentration, while restricting the diffusion of water. • The interstitium surrounding the tubule becomes more concentrated, while the fluid inside becomes more dilute. • As the fluid moves up the loop there is progressively less solute to pump out, so the highest concentrations of solutes are near the bottom of the loop. • Ascending Limb. • To demonstrate how the gradient is formed, we will look first at the role of the ascending limb of the loop and then at that of the descending limb, because the ascending limb creates the conditions necessary for the descending limb to function. • The ascending limb of the loop actively transports sodium chloride into the interstitium, increasing its concentration, while restricting the diffusion of water. • The interstitium surrounding the tubule becomes more concentrated, while the fluid inside becomes more dilute. • As the fluid moves up the loop there is progressively less solute to pump out, so the highest concentrations of solutes are near the bottom of the loop. • Descending Limb. • The role of the descending limb in this process is to provide a continuous, concentrated supply of sodium chloride to the ascending limb. • The filtrate concentrates as it moves down the descending limb, because water diffuses into the higher osmolarity interstitium created by the ascending limb. • The solutes remaining in the tube reach a concentration approximately four times greater than normal body fluid. The effect is much like what happens in the Great Salt Lake when water evaporates and salt is left behind; the fluid that is left is very salty. • This salty filtrate provides a ready supply of sodium chloride for the ascending limb to maintain the osmotic gradient. Ascending Limb.

Descending Limb. • The role of the descending limb in this process is to provide a continuous, concentrated supply of sodium chloride to the ascending limb. • The filtrate concentrates as it moves down the descending limb, because water diffuses into the higher osmolarity interstitium created by the ascending limb. • The solutes remaining in the tube reach a concentration approximately four times greater than normal body fluid. (like salt lakes) • This salty filtrate provides a ready supply of sodium chloride for the ascending limb to maintain the osmotic gradient. Combined Activities. • The way the two limbs cooperate to multiply the solute concentration from the normal 300 milliosmoles of the cortex to a level four times higher in the medulla is called the countercurrent multiplier mechanism. • This mechanism has also diluted the luminal fluid in the ascending limb to an osmolarity of approximately 100 milliosmoles; as a result, water is retained, while solutes are removed.

The Vasa Recta: A Countercurrent Exchanger • How are the solutes in the medullary interstitium kept from being carried away by the blood? capillaries of the vasa recta form ‘hair pin’ loops enabling them to function as countercurrent exchangers. • Blood in the vasa recta loops delivers nutrients such as glucose and oxygen to the cells of the region. • At the same time, the loops function as countercurrent exchangers of sodium chloride and water. Blood moving down the descending portion of the vasa recta loop passes through areas of increasing osmolarity. Water diffuses out in exchange for Na Cl . The viscous blood moves up the ascending portion of the vasa recta through areas of decreasing osmolarity. The blood regains the water by osmosis and loses most of the solutes back into the interstitium. • The net result is that the blood has brought nutrients to the cells of the medulla without carrying away extensive amounts of solute, which would weaken the osmotic gradient.

Summary • 65% of the filtrate is reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule through active and passive transport processes. • The filtrate is concentrated in the descending loop of Henle; water is lost while solutes are retained. • The filtrate is diluted in the ascending loop of Henle; solutes are lost while water is retained. • The asymmetrical pattern of water and sodium chloride reabsorption in the ascending and descending loop of Henle creates an osmotic gradient within the medullary region. • The vasa recta circulate blood through the medulla to provide nutrients without removing solutes and weakening the osmotic gradient.

Late Filtrate Processing- DCT & COLLECTING DUCTS.

• The final processing of filtrate in the late distal convoluted tubule and collecting ducts comes under direct physiological control. precisely regulating the final balance of fluid and solutes returned to the blood. • In this region, membrane permeabilities and cellular activities are altered in response to the body's need to retain or excrete specific substances.

Filtrate Processing in the CCD: Hydrogen Ion Secretion • The epithelium of the collecting ducts consists of two cell types. Each of these cells plays a different role in the final processing of filtrate. 1. Intercalated cells The intercalated cells help to balance the blood pH by secreting hydrogen ions into the filtrate through ATPase pumps in the luminal membrane. 2. Principal cells The principal cells perform hormonally regulated water and sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion. • The permeability of the principal cells to sodium ions and water is controlled by two hormones: aldosterone from the adrenal gland and antidiuretic hormone, or ADH, from the posterior pituitary gland.

Antidiuretic Hormone Filtrate Processing in the CCD: Role of Aldosterone a decrease in the level of sodium ions or an increase in potassium ions in the blood will trigger the release of aldosterone. Role of Antidiuretic Hormone When stimulated by ADH, principal cells quickly insert luminal water channels, increasing their water permeability.
