Q

what is the effect of the parasympathetic innervation of the atrial and ventricular myocytes?

A

decrease in atrial contractility; possible decrease in ventricular contractility

21
Q

what is the action of the sympathetic innervation of the atrial and ventricular myocytes?

A

increase calcium conductance into myocytes

22
Q

what is the effect of the sympathetic innervation of the atrial and ventricular myocytes?

A

increase myocyte contractility (cardiac muscle pumps stronger)

23
Q

what is the vasculature of the kidney heavily innervated by?

A

the sympathetic nerves

24
Q

what is the blood flow to the kidney primarily dictated by?

A

the autonomic nervous system

25
Q

what is the functional unit of the kidney?

A

the nephron

26
Q

what is the role of Bowman’s capsule/space aka the glomerulus?

A

it is the initial filtration to provide raw materials to make urine out of

27
Q

what is the role of the proximal convoluted tubule?

A

it moves everything that was filtered into the Bowman’s space back to the blood via the process of reabsorption

28
Q

what is the role of the loop of Henle?

A

concentration; concentrate the interstitium

29
Q

what is the role of the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct?

A

fine tuning; uses hormones to control water and sodium

30
Q

what component of the renal artery supplies Bowman’s capsule/space?

A

the afferent arteriole

31
Q

where exactly in the glomerulus does filtration occur?

A

in the glomerular capillaries

32
Q

what is the blood flow to the proximal convoluted tubule?

A

peritubular capillaries

33
Q

what do the peritubular capillaries arise from?

A

the efferent arteriole

34
Q

what is the blood flow to the loop of henle?

A

vasa recta

35
Q

what is the blood flow to the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct?

A

peritubular capillaries

36
Q

What receptors are found on the kidneys?

A

alpha 1 receptors

37
Q

what does activation of the alpha 1 receptors on the kidneys cause?

A

vasoconstriction and a reduction of blood flow to the kidney and urine production

38
Q

what receptors do the cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus contain?

A

beta 1 receptors

39
Q

what does activation of the beta 1 receptors on the juxtaglomerular apparatus cause?

A

increase in renin release, which leads to an increase in sodium and water reabsorption (increases blood volume)

40
Q

what is the short term effect of the sympathetic innervation of the kidney?

A

it helps to maintain blood pressure

41
Q

what is the long term effect of the sympathetic innervation of the kidney?

A

it increases blood volume to help maintain blood pressure

42
Q

What is the action of the sympathetic innervation of the AV node and ventricular conducting pathways?

A

increases the rate of depolarization during phase 0 and the pacemaker potential

43
Q

what is the effect of the sympathetic innervation of the AV node and ventricular conducting pathways?

A

increases conduction velocity though the AV node

44
Q

what is the parasympathetic innervation of the coronary arteries?

A

vagus nerve

45
Q

what is the action of the parasympathetic innervation of the coronary arteries?

A

smooth muscle relaxation

46
Q

what is the effect of the parasympathetic innervation of the coronary arteries?

A

47
Q

what receptors are responsible for the sympathetic innervation of the coronary arteries?

49
Q

what is the effect of the sympathetic innervation/ alpha-1 adrenergic receptors of the coronary arteries?
