61
Q

How does ATII act directly on the kidneys to cause salt and water retention during low systemic pressure or volume situations?

A

By constricting the arterioles at the Glomerulus.
EFFERENT>afferent, causing flow to remain normal despite low pressures of volume depletion (low salt diet, or dehydration).

Afferent still allows some flow to come in, efferent limits relative outflow.
This way flow is maintained, and kidney pressures stay in the 80-170 mmHg pressure range that it prefers.

64
Q

Four reasons obesity causes hypertension?

A

Cardiac Output increased to supply extra tissue and extra tissue increases resistance.

Increased Sympathetic Nervous system activity is thought to result from hormone release from fat cells which directly stimulate the hypothalamus, resulting in vasomotor constriction peripherally.

Angiotensin II and aldosterone increases 2x-3x in obese individuals as a result of Sympathetic nerve activity

Increased Sympathetic nerve activity increases renal tubular reabsorption of salt and water which raises pressures
