CVS Physiology 9 Flashcards
what organ is makly resonisble for the long term control of blood pressure
kidneys
what are some functions of the kidenys
exertion of waste
maintenace of ion balace
regulation of ph
regulation of osmolarity
reguatoon of plasma volume
what specil part of blood is used to measure map
plasma volume
what is the osmoliarty outside the collecting duct
very high
what moluece determies the osmolarity gradient in the kidnes
na
at what point inthe loop of henie is the concentration of sodium the greateest
bottom, due to gravity
what happens if the colletin duct is very water permeable
lots of water reabosbrion and little urine produced which conserves plasma volume
what happens if you make htte collecting duct impermeable to water
very little reabsorbtion will occur and thus there will be lots of urine and a reduction in plasma volume
what is the renin angiotnsin sterone systme
The renin–angiotensin system (RAS), or renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS), is a hormone system that regulates blood pressure, fluid and electrolyte balance, and systemic vascular resistance.
where is renis prodiued
fro hte juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney (granule cell)
what trigger renein production
sympathiect nerves to juxtaglomerular apparatus ( redeuces map
decreadsed distention of the afferent arterioles
decreased delivery of na+/cl-
what is the general effect of renin productoin
increase in map
what does renin do
converts inactive angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1
what convertes angiotension 1 into angiotension 2
angiotensin converting enzyme
what does angiotensin 2 do
stimulates the relase of aldrosterone fromthe adreal cortex
stimulares the release of adh
