Lecture 7 - Integration of Water and Salt Balance II Flashcards
1
Q
Hyperaldosteronism treated by?
A
spironolactone
2
Q
When does Na+ reabsorb, and what acts on this?
A
decreased ECF volume - RAA system, SNS
3
Q
When does Na reabsorption decrease, and what acts on this?
A
increased ECF volume - ANP, decreased RAAS and SNS
4
Q
ANP characteristic?
A
atrial natriuretic peptide, released from atria w response to increased filling pressure and atrial stretch
5
Q
ANP action?
A
decreases Na+ absorption by blocking ENac and inhibiting K/Na ATPase - inhibits aldosterone and renin release, lowers glomerular filtration rate
