Regulation of Sodium and Water Balance Flashcards
What are the low pressure CP circuit components
Cardiac atria and pulmonary vasculature
What are the high pressure arterial circuit components
Carotid sinus, aortic arch, JG apparatus
Total body sodium equals what
Dietary Na - urinary excretion
When ECF is low, what is Na excretion and retention?
Decreased; increased
When ECF volume is high, what is Na retention and excretion?
Decreased; increased
What factors serve to increase Na excretion
- dopamine
- ECF [Na] increase
- ECF volume increase
- Natriuretic peptides
What factors contribute to decrease Na excretion
- RAAS
- sympathetics
- ADH
What are the main functions of RAAS
Retain water
Retain Na
Kick K
What activates renal sympathetics
- constriction of afferent arterioles (decrease in GFR)
- increased tubular reabsorption of water and salt
- activated RAAS
What promotes renin secretion
- symp stim of JG by β1
- decreased NaCl delivery to macula densa
- afferent arteriole vasoconstriction
What inhibits renin secretion
- increased Na Cl reabsorption at macula densa
- increased afferent arteriole pressure
- ADH
- Ang II (negative feed back)
What does ang II stimulate
- efferent constriction more than afferent
- Na reabsorption in the PT (via NaH exchanger)
- increased thirst
- increased ADH secretion from post pit
- increased aldosterone secretion from adrenal cortex
What does Ang II do for reabsorption of Na in the LoH
Increases it
What does aldosterone cause at the DT
Increased Na reabsorption and increased K secretion
What intracellular receptor does aldosterone bind to
MR (mineralocorticoid receptor)
What transporter is produced in greater numbers in response to aldosterone
NaK ATPase and ENaC
How does aldosterone have the overall result of an increase in Na reabsorption and increase in K excretion
Increased synthesis and activity of NaK ATPase
Increased synthesis and activity of ENaC in apical membrane
What cells in the late DT and CD are responsible for increased Na and H2O reasborption and K secretion
Principal cells
What are the 3 ions affected by aldosterone
Na (increased reabsorption)
K and H (increased secretion)
Where are the most sensitive osmolality receptors
Hypothalamus and liver
What is ADH secretion more sensitive to
Increases in osmolality
What two things does ADH secretion rely on
Hyperosmolality and volume depletion
