Q

How is NaCl, volume and pressure regulated

A
  1. Nephron of kidney has specialized cells called the juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA)
  2. JGA cells can release an enzyme called renin
    A) decrease afferent arteriole pressure
    B) sympathetic nervous stimulation of JGA
    C) macula densa can cause JGA to release renin when Na is low
  3. Renin is a protease - convert an inactive plasma protein called angiotensinogen > made by liver > angiotensinogen I (cleave 10 amino acids)
  4. Angiotensin I > angiotensin II (active)
    ACE: angiotensin converting enzyme
  5. Angiotensin II
    A) promotes peripheral vasoconstriction (increase resistance > increase pressure)
    B) stimulates cardiovascular control center in medulla to increase sympathetic activity > increase HR, increase SV, increase C.O., increase BP
    C) stimulates cells in the brain to promote behavioral changes and induce thirst > increase water intake, increase blood vol. > increase BP
    D) causes adrenal gland to produce and secrete the steroid hormone aldosterone

Q

Aldosterone

A

Steroid
Enter the cells of the distal tubule (contain receptor for aldosterone)
Aldosterone binds receptor
Complex is then imported into the nucleus
Behaves as a transcription factor
Cause the transcription factor of Na transporters (Na channels, Na/K exchangers, NaK-ATPase)
Distal tubule will then start reabsorbing more NaCl
> increase NaCl
> increase osmosis
> increase fluid reabsorption
> increase blood vol.
> increase blood pressure
