Q

How does the process of aldosterone affect water levels

A

1 causes constriction of blood vessels

1)ow blood presasure and blood volume

2)rennin is released, rennin converts a plasma protein into angiotensin 11

3) angiotensin has two important functions

#2stimulates release of aldosterone from adrenal gland

4) aldestrone is carried in blood to the kidneys

actsl on nephrons to increase Na+ and H2O reabsorption

Q

key things to note about wwater balance

A

during the production of ADH in the hypothalamus, after the sensors detect a change in osmotic pressure, the cells of the hyupothalamus shrink, and the nerve message is sent to the pituitary gland

then pituitary gland stores and releases ADH into blood

Q

compare the renal artery with the renal vein

A

renal artery has wastes but also lots of nutrients like glucose and amino acids, etc
then the blood is sent into the nephron and is selectively reabsorbed back into blood for the renal vein while the urea and the rest of wastes are urinated

while the renal vein only has the nutrients but the wastes are diffused in the nephron

Q

what is the difference between Epinephrine(adrenalin) and Norepinephrine(noradrenaline)

A

Noradrenaline is the main neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nerves in the cardiovascular system. Adrenaline is the main hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla.

Q

difference between sensory receptors and sensory neurons

A

Sensory receptors are either specialized cells associated with sensory neurons or the specialized ends of sensory neurons that are a part of the peripheral nervous system, and they are used to receive information about the environment (internal or external).

Q

the resting potential concentration of ions is kept constant through what?

A

the resting potential concentration of ions is kept constant through Na+/K+ pumps

17
Q

when explaining the all or none law dont forget too?

A

talk about how the firing of a neuron is similar to a gun, either it does or does not depedning on threshold is reached

also amplitude of stimulus remains constant, although the frequency is what changes the strength of a stimulus

18
Q

affects of alcohol on your nervous system

A

increase turnover of norepinephrine and dopamine
increase in GABA or gamma aminobutyric acid
decrease in transmission of acetylcholine neurotransmitter
increase turnover in beta endorphin

19
Q

what detects the change in extra cellular fluid for aldosterone

A

sensory receptors in heart and blood vessels signal the gland cells at the wall of the glomerulus to make rennin
