Regulation of ECF Flashcards
what are the major ECF osmoles?
> sodium
> chlorine
what are the major ICF osmoles?
potassium
what are the immediate effects of increased slat and water loss from vomiting and diarrhoea?
decreased: > peripheral volume > venous pressure > venous return > atrial pressure > end diastolic volume > systolic volume > cardiac out put > blood pressure
what is the effect of decreased atrial pressure and decreased carotid sinus baroreceptor inhibition of sympathetic discharge on osmolarity?
hypoosmolarity occurs due to the increase in ADH
what is the effect of decreased carotid sinus baroreceptor inhibition of sympathetic discharge?
> increased ADH
increased sympathetic vasoconstriction
increased total peripheral resistance
increased blood pressure
what is the effect of angiotensin 2 on na+ reabsorption?
increased Na+ reabsorption from the proximal tubule
due to greater reabsorpative forces in the peritubular capillaries
true or false:
angiotensin 2 decreases the peritubular capillary hydrostatic pressure
true
true or false:
increase in aldosterone causes an decrease in distal tubule reabsorption
false it causes and increase
where are juxtaglomerular cells found?
the smooth muscle of the media of the afferent arteriole just before it enters the glomerulus
describe juxtaglomerular cells
large epithelial cells filled with granules
what do juxtaglomerular cells produce?
renin
what forms the juxtaglomerular apparatus?
> juxtaglomerular cells
> macula dense
where are macula densa found?
loop of the distal tubule
what Is the rate limiting step in the rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system?
angiotensinogen being converted into angiotensin 1 on the plasma
what converts angiotensin 1 into angiotensin 2?
angiotensin converting enzyme
