Loop Diuretics

These are diuretics that exerts effect on the loop of Henle. They are primarily used in heart failure, hypertension and edema. In contrast with Thiazides, loop diuretics are more effective in patients with abnormal kidney function. Loop diuretics inhibit the magnesium and calcium reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of Henle. Loop diuretics is highly protein bound. It has volume of distribution that is limited. This causes the diuretics to be secreted in the convuluted tubules to exert its function.

D. IV -> III -> II -> I

What type of glial cell acts locally to maintain normal electrolyte composition of the cerebrospinal fluid?

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Astrocytes

Explanation:

Astrocytes are specialized glial cells found in the brain and spinal cord, they are responsible for maintaining the electrolytic composition of the cerebrospinal fluid, induce the formation of the blood-brain barrier and act as a support and guide for neurons during migration. They keep the ionic composition of the extracellular fluid of the central nervous system through the water channels, Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and K channels, located in the pedicle processes of the astrocytes in the perivascular space, these cells exchange K and water in said perivascular medium away from the neurons. Astrocytes selectively edematize during hypotonic stress, while neurons do not.
