Q

What does the increase in arterial pressure, which is caused by an increase in ECFV, cause?

A

The kidneys to lose Na and water which will return ECFV and blood pressure to normal

Q

What does an increase in ECFV cause?

A

25
What are determinants of long term blood pressure control?
Renal function and Na intake
26
What is the equilibrium point on the renal function curve and salt and water intake line?
Where intake and output curves intersect
27
What does the renal body fluid feedback system have in terms of gain?
Infinite gain: normal kidney can return high pressures to normal range
28
Do changes in TPR have an affect on long-term arterial pressure level?
No
29
What must be altered in order to have long-term changes in arterial pressure?
The renal function curve
30
What does changing renal vascular resistance lead to?
Long-term changes in arterial pressure
31
If you take a large piece of tissue from an animal, what have you taken?
A large amount of the extracellular fluid, which will change how the heart works because the fluid volume is different
32
Look at the effect of ECFV on arterial pressure
Look at the effect of ECFV on arterial pressure
33
What is the mean circulatory filling pressure?
The amount of blood coming back
34
What is the overall effect of ECFV?
Increased extracellular fluid volume
35
How does an increase in ECFV increase blood pressure?
Decreased kidney function | Increased NaCl intake
36
Where is renin synthesized and stored?
In modified smooth muscle cells in afferent arterioles of the kidney
37
What is renin released in response to?
A fall in pressure
38
What does renin act on?
A substance called angiotensin to form a peptide called angiotensin II
39
What is angiotensin I converted to angiotensin II by?
A converting enzyme located in the endothelial cells in the pulmonary circulation
40
What happens when there is decreased arteriole pressure?
It is noted very quickly by the glomerular apparatus. This releases renin
41
What happens when angiotensin II hits the lung?
We get angiotensinase
42
What is angiotensin II?
The most powerful vasoconstrictor that can affect the body globally
43
Look at renin-angiotensin system
Look at renin-angiotensin system
44
What does the renin-angiotensin system cause?
Vasoconstriction Na retention by direct and indirect acts on the kidney Shift in renal function curve to the right
45
What happens with direct acts on the kidney?
Decreased renal blood flow | More time for resorption
46
What happens with indirect acts on the kidney?
ADH secretion
47
What is the renin-angiotensis system important in?
Maintaining a normal AP during changes in Na intake
48
What happens to renin as Na intake increases?
Its levels fall to near 0
49
What happens to renin as Na intake decreases?
Its levels increase significantly
50
What does the renin-angiotensin system cause the Na loading renal function curve to be like?
Steep
51
What organs are important in the renin-angiotensin system?
Liver Adrenal cortex Lungs
52
What does angiotensin have a direct effect on?
Adrenal cortex
53
What will most of the angiotensin do?
Vasoconstriction of the arterioles
54
What are factors which decrease renal excretory function and increase blood pressure?
Angiotensin II Aldosterone Sympathetic nervous activity Endothelin
55
What will total peripheral resistance do?
Raise the blood pressure
56
What are factors which increase renal excretory function and decrease blood pressure?
Atrial natriuretic peptide Nitric oxide Dopamine
57
What can dopamine cause?
Vasodilation globally
58
What is a normal blood pressure?
Less than 120/80 mmHg
59
What is a prehypertension blood pressure?
120-139/80-89 mmHg
60
What is a hypertension blood pressure?
Greater than 140/90 mmHg
61
What is the blood pressure for stage 1 hypertension?
140-159/90-99 mmHg
62
What is the blood pressure for stage 2 hypertension?
160 or greater/100 or greater mmHg
63
What percentage of hypertensive patients have primary/essential hypertension?
90%
64
What is the cause of primary/essential hypertension?
Unknown, but most likely related to weight gain. 2/3 of essential hypertensives are overweight Linked to genetics
65
What does primary hypertension cause?
Loss of compliance of large arteries
66
What are some causes for secondary hypertension?
``` Renal artery stenosis Chronic renal disease Primary hyperaldosteronism Sleep apnea Pheochromocytoma Preeclampsia Aortic coarctation ```
67
How can you treat hypertension?
Drugs which affect renal blood flow | Drugs that inhibit Na reabsorption
68
What do drugs which affect renal blood flow do?
Inhibition of sympathetic nervous system Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors Vasodilators
69
What are drugs that inhibit Na reabsorption?
Diuretics
