1- Renal Anatomy and Physiology Flashcards
Function of kidneys that regulate BODY FLUIDS, INORGANIC IONS, ORGANIC COMPOUNDS, and ACID-BASE BALANCE
Homeostasis
Functions of Kidney:
H, BP, MW, HR
Homeostasis
Maintain Blood Pressure
Eliminate Metabolic Waste
Hormonal Regulation
Source of Erythropoietin and Renin
Kidneys
Source of aldosterone
Adrenal Cortex
Source of Antidiuretic Hormone
Pituitary Gland
Source of Parathyroid Hormone
Parathyroid Gland
Hormone that Stimulates RBC production
Erythropoietin (EPO)
Converts Angiotensin 1 to Angiotensin 2
Renin
Promote SODIUM reabsorption from filtrate into blood
Aldosterone
Promote WATER reabsorption form filtrate into the blood
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
Kidneys are site of activation for _____ under the action of the parathyroid hormone.
Vitamin D
Promotes CALCIUM reabsoprtion from filtrate into the blood
Parathyroid Hormone
increase renal blood flow, sodium and water retention, and renin release; also acts to oppose renal vasoconstriction due to angiotensin and norepinephrine
prostaglandin
