Q

How does ADH affect the collecting duct?

A

binds to ADH receptors on the baslateral membrane which increase intracellular levels of cyclic AMP which inserts new aquaporins

Q

What happens in the presence of maximal plasma ADH?

A

tubular fluid equilibrates via aquaporins- water goes down conc. grad

16
Q

When is aldosterone secreted?

A

in response to rising potassium or falling sodium in the blood; activation of the renin-angiotensin system

17
Q

What happens to K when there is no aldosterone?

A

all K is reabsorbed and none is excreted

18
Q

What affect does increased K have on the renin-angiotensin system?

A

directly stimulate the adrenal cortex

19
Q

How does a decrease in plasma sodium promote aldosterone release?

A

by the juxtaglmoerular apparatus secreting renin

20
Q

What are the 3 controls for renin release?

A

reduced presure in aferent arteriole; macula densa sense decreased sodium; increased sympathetic activity due to reduced BP

21
Q

Where does aldosterone have its effects?

A

distal and collecting tubule

22
Q

How does aldosterone increased sodium reabsorption?

A

increases sodium-potassium pump; increases expression of sodium channels on apical membrane

23
Q

When is ANP released?

A

when atrial muscle cells are mechanicaly stretch due to an increase in the plasma volume

24
Q

What does ANP promote?

A

exrcretion of sodium and diuresis

25
Q

How does ANP work?

A

decreases sodium reabsrption by kidney tubules; decreases RAAS; silated SM of afferent arterioles; decreases sympathetics

26
Q

What must be accompanied by any loss of solute in the urine?

A

water loss
