Q

ADH

A

Antidiuretic Hormone

Produced by the supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus. Also known as vasopressin. ADH is released and it tells the collecting ducts of the kidneys to retain water. Produced in response due to decrease in blood volume or increase in osmolarity or electrolyte concentration.

Q

ADH Functions Two Ways

A

Stimulates kidneys to retain H2O, preventing loss in blood volume

Stimulates Vasoconstriction of peripheral vessels to increase blood pressure. Vasopressin is another word for increasing blood pressure

Q

Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System

A

Increase blood pressure

Starts out because of decreased blood flow to kidneys, so then renin is released from the Kidneys and in conjunction with Angiotensinogen made by the liver and together It creates Angiotensinogen I which is a mild vasoconstrictor, which goes to the lungs and exposed to ACE and it converts Angiotensinogen I to Angiotensinogen II. Angio II is a powerful vasoconstrictor. It then increases aldosterone, increases thirst drive, which helps increase fluid volume, ADH, and vasoconstriction. To ultimately increase blood pressure.

Q

Erythropoetin

A

released from the kidneys, has it effects on bone marrow, to increase red blood cell production. Helps increase hematocrit.

Also released when Blood pressure falls or O2 concentrations decrease.

Results in increased RBC’s, increased O2 carrying capacity

Q

Atrial Natriuretic Hormone/Peptide

A

Hormone produced by specialized cells in the Right Atrium, that when stretched, causes ANH to be produced, causing excretion of Sodium, with that, goes water. decreases blood pressure. Only hormone that decreases blood volume or pressure. Because historically we had no access to water.

Q

Why does ANH get released?

A

Because when BP increases too much. Which leads to increase water loss in kidneys, decreases thirst and blocks ADH and Aldosterone

Q

Pulmonary Circulation

A

Functions to oxygenate blood

Pathway - unoxygenated blood leaves pulmonary artery from the right ventricle and travels to the lungs to be oxygenated. Oxygenated blood returns to the Left Atrium.

Q

Systemic Circulation

A

Pathway - take that oxygen blood and send it out to the peripheral tissues and return unoxygenated blood to the heart.

Q

Vertebral Arteries

A

Both right and left vertebral arteries arise off of the subclavian of their respective sides and travel up through the transverse foramen of the cervical vertebrae to enter the skull through foramen magnum. They come together to form the basilar artery
