lecture 11 Flashcards
the JG apparatus are made of 2 cells
macula densa and jxutagolmerula
Renal pressure system occurs
in the JG apparatus of the kidney
the two cell of the jg apparatus will fire
when the Na levels drop in the blood and release renin into the blood
renin cleaves an inactive protein called
angiotensin(a 2 globulin) to the active form angiotensin I
Enzyme ACE in the lungs will change
the angiotensin into angiotensin II in the capilary walls of the lungs
angiotensin II will go to the adrenal gland (zona glumerarosa ) causing
the release of aldosterone
aldosterone goes back to the kindney causing
the absorption of Na and excretion of K in the tubule cells
aldosterone is a form of
minerlocorticoid
aldosterone play a role in intestinal cells by
causing the enterocytes of the intestine to absorb Na and excrete K
aldosterone play a role in salivary gland
as saliva are being produced as it descends through the ducts , Na is absorbed and k is excreted
the primary effect of aldosterone is
a genomic effect where it diffuse through the membrane andbind to the cytoplasmic protein. it then goes to the nucleus to activate some sort of transcription factor
aldosterone produce two group of protein
- enzyme
2. transport protein— the Na/K pump and Na channels to allow Na into the cell
aldosterone is release due to
decline in Na in the ECF
elevation of K in the ECf
angiotensin is direct activator of aldosterone
ACTH affects the release of aldosterone
Glucocorticoid is
a stress hormone, a type of cortisol that affect carbohydrates, protein , lipids and fatty acid
glucocorticoid effects on protein
decrease protein synthesis in all cells in the body except the liver
promotes protein synthesis in the liver cells( mainly blood protein to relieve osmotic pressure
glucocorticoid effect on fatty acid and lipids
promotes the break down of fatty acid making then available for cellular respiration.
uses fatty acid as primary source of energy even though glucose is being synthesize more.
glucocorticoid effect on carbohydrate
primary site of action liver, promote gluconeogenesis , activate genes that promote gluconeogenesis , effect the muscle of other cells leading to the mobilization of amino acid ( brings amino acid to the liver. promotes glycogenesis
the buffalo effect
when under stress people gain weight on the face and chest this is because there is a distribution of the receptor in these cells
