A&P Flashcards
Regulates volume
ADH
Regulates NA+
Aldosterone
Endocrine function of kidneys
Erythropoietin- renal hormone, acts on bone marrow stimulates RBC production
Vitamin D- starts in skin>liver> kidney > to vitamin d3
Hypocalcemia in renal pts due to VitD deficiency
Nephron blood flow
Afferent arteriole
Glomerular capillary- only place FILTRATION occours
Efferent arteriole
Proximal tubule
Over 2/3 of reabsorption occurs here
Over 2/3 of secretion of drugs occur here
Loop of henle
Thin descending and Thick Ascending
Separates handling of h20 and sodium
Thin descending loop
Water reabsorption but sodium stays
Thick ascending
Sodium reabsorption but water stays
Juxtaglomerular apparatus
Located were the Afferent arteriole crosses the distal tubule
Makes and secretes renin in response to low b/p
Distal tubule
Reabsorption of sodium occurs
Controlled by aldosterone
Collection duct
Controls water reabsorption by ADH
The five S of Vasopressin
Synthesis- para ventricular and supraoptic nucleus in hypothal
Stored- posterior pituitary
Secreted- blood stream
Stimulus- increase ECF OSMO, pt is to salty,
Sight of action- collecting duct, inserts aquaporines, h2o retained
Anterior pituitary
Adenohypophisis
ACTH GH TSH LH FSH PRL
Posterior pituitary
Neuro hypophysis
Vasopressin
Oxytocin
Peripheral motor (efferent)
Outgoing information. Centrally out to periphery
Parasympathetic pathways
Long preganglinic and short postganglionic
ACH the receptor both pre and post
Sympathetic pathways
Short preganglionic and short post
ACH is pre neurotransmitter and Norepinephrine is post.
