A

aortic sinus - vagus CN 10

message to brain, 2 messages can be sent -

1 - alpha 1 adrenergic receptors on afferent arterioles to CONTRACT

2 - to JG cells - to stim renin - this on beta 1 adrenergic - increases calcium in JG which stim renin production

Q

What does renin do? What is it? Renin is enzyme

aldosterone (glomerulus cortex adrenal0

Angiotensin II, binds to many receptors in the body to affect several systems. It can increase blood pressure by constricting the blood vessels. It can also trigger thirst or the desire for salt. Angiotensin is responsible for the release of the pituitary gland’s anti-diuretic hormone.

A

liver producing angiotensinogen (protein) -

w/ Renin becomes angiotensin 1

from lungs ACE

becomes angiotensin II

effects adrenal to make ALDOSTERONE
(which creates absorption of sodium - hence BP up) in distal convoluted tubule

in kidney - vasoconstrictor
hence BP up

disorders of Prox conv tubules? PCT

Fanconi syndrome is a rare disorder of kidney tubule function that results in excess amounts of glucose, bicarbonate, phosphates (phosphorus salts), uric acid, potassium, and certain amino acids being excreted in the urine.

A

fanconi syndrome - hereditary or acquired - fail to reabsorb because decrease in ATP - can’t use the sodium pump

Q

What stimulates Sertoli cells?

A

FSH - which creates Androgen binding protein ADP- which combines with testosterone to keep testosterone fluid and around

In addition to stimulating spermatogenesis, FSH also causes the Sertoli cells to produce an androgen binding protein (ABP). This protein binds testosterone and helps maintain a high concentration of testosterone within the testes; this is essential for spermatogenesis to occur.

REVIEW THIS!

A

The ureteric bud (also known as the metanephrogenic diverticulum) is a protrusion of the mesonephric duct that appears during the embryological development of urogenital organs. It will eventually form the urinary collecting system (i.e. collecting tubes, calyces, renal pelvis, ureter) of the kidney.

A

nephron goes all the way to distal convoluted tubule

192
Q

Mesonephros develops by the formation of mesonephric tubules from the intermediate mesoderm, it is the principal excretory organ during early embryonic life (4—8 weeks). … Metanephros arises caudal to the mesonephros at five weeks of development; it is the permanent and functional kidney in higher vertebrates.

A

The development of the kidney proceeds through a series of successive phases, each marked by the development of a more advanced kidney: the archinephros, pronephros, mesonephros, and metanephros.[1] The pronephros is the most immature form of kidney, while the metanephros is most developed. The metanephros persists as the definitive adult kidney.

Q

location of renal corpuscle detemines?

peritubular caps - with convoluted tubules

vasa recta - w/ nephron tube

The vasa recta capillaries are long, hairpin-shaped blood vessels that run parallel to the loops of Henle. The hairpin turns slow the rate of blood flow, which helps maintain the osmotic gradient required for water reabsorption.

256
Q

two types of cells in collecting tubules and ducts

The principal cell mediates the collecting duct’s influence on sodium and potassium balance via sodium channels and potassium channels located on the cell’s apical membrane. Aldosterone determines expression of sodium channels (especially the ENaC).

he principal cell is one of two major epithelial cell types in what is often referred to as the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron, comprising the connecting segment through the collecting duct

A

principal or LIGHT cells - pale stain - single CILIUM - few microvilla, small mitocondria, contain ADH - Aguaporin 2

DARK or intercalated -
lots of mitocondria no. decrease as duct approach papilla-

Principal cells are the main Na+ reabsorbing cells and the site of action of aldosterone, K+-sparing diuretics, and spironolactone. Type A and B intercalated cells make up the second cell type in the collecting duct epithelium. Type A intercalated cells mediate acid secretion and bicarbonate reabsorption.

257
Q

collecting tube, ducts function?

ADH

A

ADH - vasopressin - causes epithelium to be permeable to h2O - reabsop of H20

vasopressin, is a small peptide hormone which regulates the body’s retention of water. It is one of only two hormones secreted by the posterior pituitary gland.

266
Q

role of sterocilia in epididymous - non-motile - absorption creates current moving immobile sperm

resorb 90% of this fluid as the spermatozoa start to become motile. This absorption creates a fluid current

A

The stereocilia in the epididymis are non-motile. … The core function of the stereocilia is to resorb 90% of this fluid as the spermatozoa start to become motile. This absorption creates a fluid current that moves the immobile sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the epididymis.

267
Q

adrenal layer secretions? ACS

aldosterone
cortisol
Sex hormones 17

mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens

The zona reticularis is the site of biosynthesis of androgen precursors such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione from cholesterol. These androgens are released into the bloodstream and transported to gonads where they are converted into testosterone or oestrogen.

A

Zona glomularios – mineral aldosterone
Fasciulta ? CORTISOL
Retincularis SEX – androgens – go to gonads

Cortisol, the primary stress hormone, increases sugars (glucose) in the bloodstream, enhances your brain’s use of glucose and increases the availability of substances that repair tissues. Cortisol also curbs functions that would be nonessential or detrimental in a fight-or-flight situation.

268
Q

melanocytes produce melanin - which is transported to keratinocytes

A

Tyrosinase (TANGERINE) is required for melanocytes to produce melanin from the amino acid tyrosine.

269
Q

What is the function of thyroglobulin?

A

Thyroglobulin is the other major component needed for synthesis of thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Thyroglobulin is the matrix for thyroid hormone synthesis and is the form in which hormone is stored in the gland

270
Q

What do parathyroid cells secrete?

oxyphil cells? appear at the onset of puberty, but have no known function.

A

The parathyroid gland contains two cell types, chief cells and oxyphil cells. Chief cells are the predominant cell type characterised by round nucleus surrounded by scarce cytoplasm. They produce and secrete PTH in response to low extracellular calcium levels detected by receptors in the cell membrane.

271
Q

Herring bodies - posterior pituitary

A

or neurosecretory bodies are structures found in the posterior pituitary. They represent the terminal end of the axons from the hypothalamus, and hormones are temporarily stored in these locations. They are neurosecretory terminals.

272
Q

What is the role of the posterior pituitary?

A

The posterior pituitary is not glandular as is the anterior pituitary. Instead, it is largely a collection of axonal projections from the hypothalamus that terminate behind the anterior pituitary, and serve as a site for the secretion of neurohypophysial hormones (oxytocin and vasopressin) directly into the blood.
