The Kidney for Medical Students

My first youtube video!
After wasting untold hours procrastinating looking for med related videos on youtube I have decided to make my own.

This is a brief discussion about the physiology of the kidney focusing on filtration.

Please leave feedback. If you find it helpful I'd like to make more!

Also, saying that loop diuretics work on the macula densa is a half truth. Loop diuretics initial action is to block the symporter NK2CL in the thick ascending Loop of Henle, which decreases reabsorption of electrolytes. This is where the reduced reabsorption into the blood occurs. The macula dense cells are in the DCT, not the loop. These are blocked so that the feedback system (TGF) is inhibited. If uninhibited, then a surge of ATP and decreased prostaglandin/renin would occur.

@bayoufrogg Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge! I hope everyone reads the comments! :D

very very clear explanation between the relationship of hydrostatic pressure and oncotic pressure that works in the nephron of a kidney. thank you buddy !

hey pharmacists need to know this toooo XD

[chrisnardie]

thank you so much for this. didn't really understand the book aside that i'm procrastinating. but this has been very helpful. i'd understand the effin' book now, with this XD

Omg I love you. Will you marry me? I was able to absorb more from this 8 minute video than I have in the last 2 days of studying. Thank you so soooo much. No really will you mary me?

Awesome video. Really helpful. Finally I know what those kidney shaped kidneys do. :)

thank you fro your good video.

I just found this video. I'm learning about this topic in physiology part of my pre-nursing curriculum. I've been studying parts of the nephron and GFR controls for the last 2 days. You're video helped to solidify all the info I've gotten from my textbook. Thanks so much!

@bayoufrogg I belive that you are correct. Increased NaCl at the macula densa --> decrease renin release --> decrease A-II --> inhibit vasoconstriction of the efferent arteriole

[zackboomer]

just one thing 5:50@ - the macula densa cells are located in the distal tubule where it passes the aff and eff arterioles, not the thick ascending limb
