Q

What counteracts the effect of ECV during congestive heart failure?

A

Activation of RAAS

Stimulation of the SNS via the baroreceptor reflex

Increased ADH secretion

Increased renal fluid retention via Starling’s forces in the peritubular capillaries

Q

A decrease in total body sodium content will have will illicit what effect from osmoreceptors?

A

Will cause eventual ECF contraction through decreased ADH secretion.

Q

What would cause a more dramatic change in ADH secretion, a decrease or increase in sensed volume?

A

Decreases in sensed volume would cause a much more drastic increase in ADH secretion

Q

Where does aldosterone and AVP stimulate Na+ and H20 reabsorption on the nephron?

A

Distal tubule and collecting duct

(Aldosterone also somewhat on the ascending limb of the loop of Henle)

Q

ANP, BNP, and Urodilatin have what four effects on the nephron?

A

Increased GFR

Decreased renin, and as a result decreased aldosterone

Decreased AVP secretion and inhibition of AVP

Decreased NaCl; and H2O reabsorption in collecting duct

(GRAND)

Increased GFR.

Renin, AVP, and NaCldecreased
