23
Q

Low total body sodium = […] arterial and venous blood pressure.

A

Low

24
Q

Enzyme, catalyzes the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I.

A

Renin (i.e. secreted from the kidney, functions in blood)

25
Q

Cells of the kidney, secrete renin.

A

Juxtaglomerular cells (INSERT PICTURE)

26
Q

Peptide hormone, produced by the liver, converted via renin.

A

Angiotensinogen

27
Q

Enzyme, found in epithelial cells of blood capillaries especially in the lungs, converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II

A

ACE/Converting enzyme (i.e. does so as blood flows through the lungs)

28
Q

Stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete hormone aldosterone into the blood.

A

Angiotensin II (i..e also causes vasocontriction)

29
Q

Hormone, acts on late distal tubule and CD of the kidney to increase sodium reabsorption.

A

Aldosterone

30
Q

Inputs to juxtaglomerular cells that increase renin secretion.

A

Sympathetic nerves to JG cells, baroreceptors within the kidney, paracrine factors released from the macula densa

31
Q

[…] causes vasoconstriction in many body regions, helps regulate peripheral resistance (i.e. contributes to controlling arterial blood pressure)

A

Angiotensin II

32
Q

Cardiac hormone, decrease sodium reabsorption by directly inhibiting aldosterone secretion.

A

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)

33
Q

Sensory receptor, found in hypothalamus, detects ECT osmolarity, involved in initiating reflexes that alter water excretion without altering sodium excretion.

A

Osmoreceptors

34
Q

Hormone, posterior pituitary hormone, mediates water excretion without altering sodium excretion.

A

ADH/Vasopressin

35
Q

Hypothalamic osmoreceptors are neurons that […] their frequency of action potentials when they shrink.

38
Q

The response to severe sweating is [hyperosmotic/hyoosmotic] relative to ECF.
