21
Q

What are ECF osmolarity changes detected by and what do the detectors due?

A

sensed by osmoreceptors that either shrink or swell the hypothalmus which triggers or prevents ADH realease from the posterior pituitary

22
Q

What do osmoreceptors stimuulate aside from the swelling and shrinking of the hypothalmus?

A

stimulate the thirst center

23
Q

What do the osmoreceptors do if the ECF osmolarity is high?

A

They shrink, increasing ADH release (to bring water into the extracellular space), and the animal becomes thirsty and drinks

24
Q

What do the osmoreceptors do if the ECF osmolarity is low?

A

They swell, reducing the amount ADH release and inhibiting the thirst response

25
Q

What is hypervolemia?

A

high ECF volume

26
Q

What is hypovolemia?

A

low ECF volume

27
Q

What are symptoms of hypervolemia?

A

ascites, pulmonary edema

28
Q

What are symptoms of hypovolemia?

A

directly related to the low circulating volume - hypovolemic shock, organ damage

29
Q

What does changing the amount of Na in the ECF do?

A

changes the ECF volume

30
Q

Why do kidneys change ECF Na amount?

A

to regulate imbalances in ECF volume

31
Q

What does salt poisoning lead to?

A

hypervolemia

32
Q

What do low aldosterone levels lead to?

A

impaired renal Na retention leading to low

33
Q

What senses ECF volume change?

A

baroreceptors in the left atria and pulmonary vessels

34
Q

What senses change in ECF pressure?

A

baroreceptors located in the aortic arch and sinus

35
Q

If baroreceptors stretch, what happens?

A

no ADH is released

36
Q

If baroreceptors do not stretch, what happens?

A

ADH is released

37
Q

What do JG cells do in response to stretch in afferent arterioles?

A

release renin

38
Q

When baroreceptors sense decreased volume, what do they do?

A

they relay a signal to the brain to increase sympathetic flow to the kidney

39
Q

What is the main neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nervous system?

A

norepinephrine

40
Q

What does norepinephrine do?

A

it is a vasoconstrictor that constricts efferent more than efferent and increases GFR

41
Q

True or False: Starling forces only effect the glomerulus

A

False: they effect the paritubular capillaries too

42
Q

What do Starling’s forces contribute to?

A

regulating movement of ions and water from the tubular fluid to the capillary

43
Q

What happens to hydrostatic pressure in the peritubular capillary if GFR goes up?

A

It goes down, because a greater amount of the plasma has been filtered less is making its way to the peritubular capillaries

44
Q

What happens to oncotic pressure in the peritubular capillary if the GFR goes up?

A

it goes up because elevated filtration will increase protein concentration in the peritubular capillaries

45
Q

How does norepinephrin work in the proximal tubule?

A

it stimulates Na reabsorption

46
Q

When baroreceptors sense high volume, what happens?

A

they release natriuretic peptide release

47
Q

How does the renin-angiotensin system increase ECF volume?

A
  1. constricts efferent arterioles to increase GFR and change Starling’s forces to increase Na and water uptake
  2. stimulates NaH antiporter to increase Na uptake
  3. stimulates ADH release to increase water uptake
  4. Stimulates aldosterone release to increase Na uptake
48
Q

How do natriuretic peptides fix high volume?

A
  1. increase Na and water load entering tubules
  2. inhibits renin release from juxtaglomerular apparatus to inhibit RAS
  3. inhibits ADH release by inhibiting RAS
  4. Inhibits aldosterone release by inhibiting RAS
  5. inhibits NaCl reabsorption in the collecting duct by inhibiting Na channels
49
Q

What does increased natriuretic peptide lead to?

A

decreases Na reabsorption which reduces water reabsorption and decreases ECF volume

50
Q

What must happen in regards to Na in the case of hypovalemia?

A

Na absorption must increase

51
Q

What must happen in regards to Na in the case of hypervalemia?

A

Na excretion must increase

52
Q

What mechanisms work to increase Na absorption in the case of hypovalemia?

A

baroreceptors that increase sympathetic flow and the juxtaglomerular apparatus

53
Q

What does the juxtaglomerular apparatus stimulate?

A

the RAS system which leads to the production of angiotensin

54
Q

What mechanisms work to increase Na excretion in the case of hypervalemia?

A

baroreceptors that release natriuretic peptides
