Explore the intricacies of normal kidney physiology, focusing on the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) in this comprehensive 12-minute video lecture. Delve into key concepts such as glomerular filtration rate, renal plasma flow, and the PCT's crucial role in electrolyte reabsorption and secretion. Learn about the tubule's function in maintaining acid-base balance through secondary active transport of acid and bicarbonate reabsorption. Understand the implications of PCT dysfunction, including Fanconi Syndrome and type-2 renal tubular acidosis. Cover essential topics like renal blood flow, transport mechanisms, sodium reabsorption, acid secretion, and overall reabsorption processes. Conclude with a quiz to reinforce your understanding of this fundamental aspect of renal physiology.
