Question

a pt has hyperthyroidism and his Na+/K+ ATpase pumps are working slower. Will this effect the transport of Na+?

A. There will be a reduction in Na+ transport on the basolateral side of the tubule epithelial cell.

B. there will be a reduction in Na+ transport in bowmans capsule epithelial cells

C. there will be no change to Na+ transport

D. there will be a reduction in ATP-dependent, Na+transport on the apical side of the tubule epithelial cells

E. there will be a reduction of Na+ secretion on both sides of the tubule epithelial cells

Expert Solution
Step 1

A majority of sodium ions are reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubules (PCT). The reabsorbed sodium enters the peritubular capillaries from where it is returned to the blood circulation. The Na+/K+ ATPase (sodium/potassium adenosine phosphatase) transporter uses the energy of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to move sodium ions into the interstitial region. This transporter is located on the basolateral surface of the tubular cells.
