A

e. All of above

30
Q

What 3 hormones regulate fluid loss

A
  1. ADH
  2. Aldosterone
  3. ANP
31
Q

Which hormone has osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus that monitors the osmotic conc. of ECF

32
Q

The rate of ADH release varies directly with ____

A

osmolarity

33
Q

The higher the osmolarity the more/less ADH released

34
Q

Inc. release of ADH has 2 effects:

A
  1. Stimulates H2O conservation at kidneys, reducing urinary water loss and concentrating urine
  2. stimulates thirst
35
Q

Which hormone plays a major role in determining the rate of Na absorption in the kidneys?

A

Aldosterone

36
Q

Where is Aldosterone secreted from?

A

Adrenal cortex

37
Q

The higher the plasma aldosterone conc. the more/less the kidneys will conserve Na

38
Q

T/F Aldosterone stimulates kidneys to retain water?

39
Q

T/F Secretion of Aldosterone is directly influenced by Na ion concentration in the plasma

40
Q

What are the 3 ways Aldosterone is stimmulated?

A
  1. RAAS
  2. Rise in ECF Osmolality
  3. ECF K+ levels
41
Q

What stimulates RAAS?

A

dec. in plasma volume or BP

42
Q

T/F. RAAS will cause an inc. in urination and inc. in fluid retention

A

F. Dec. in urinationa and inc. in fluid retention

43
Q

T/F. the goal of RAAS is to inc. blood volume

44
Q

Where is ANP released from?

A

Cardiac muscles

45
Q

ANP is released when there is an inc. or dec. in BP?

46
Q

What are the 4 ways ANP dec. blood pressure

A
  1. inc. H2O loss in kidneys
  2. dec. thirst
  3. block the release of ADH
  4. Stimulate peripheral vasodilation
47
Q

48
Q

What two forces control water movement?

A
  1. hydrostatic pressure

2. Colloid osmotic pressure

52
Q

How do loop diuretics work?

A

inhibit the NKCC receptors in the TAL

53
Q

Do loop diuretics inc. or decrease GFR

54

Type of overhydration where there is a gain of water without a gain of electrolytes

66
Q

Type of over hydration where there is a gain of electrolytes without a gain of water

A

hypertonic

67
Q

type of diuretics that inhibit NaCl reabsorption in the DT

68
