Renal 4: Salt Balance Flashcards
the kdneys match salt out to salt ___
in
____ is the main determinant of extracellular fluid volume
na
Na reabsorption is regulated by the ____ system of hormones; by ____ and also by ____ nervous system activity
renin-angiotensin; ANP; sympathetic
increased Na / blood volume causes a ___ in Na excretion
increase
decreased Na / blood volume causes a ___ in Na excretion
decrease
Na reabsorption is inhibited by ___ drugs that are used to reduce BP
diuretic
the kidneys match K excretion to K ___
intake
K can be secreted by ___ parts of the nephron to allow control of body K homeostasis
distal
K secretion is regulated by plasma ___ and the hormone ___
K concentration; aldosterone
as Na increases, the extracellular fluid volume __
increases
what is the effect of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system on Na reabsorption and excretion?
increase reabs ; decrease excretion
what is the effect of ANP on the reabsorption and excretion of Na>
decrease reabsorption; increase excretion
what is the effect of sympathetic activity on Na excretion?
decreases GFR by constricting BV; lowers excretion
decribe the pathway of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
low na –> low ECF volume –> release of renin / formation of angiotensin 2 –> aldosterone –> increase Na and water reabsorption –> increased ECF volume
angiotensin 2 ____ (directly or indirectly) increases Na reabsorption in the nephron
directly
angiotensin 2 acts on ___ receptors of tubular epithelial cells
AT1
angiotensin 2 increases the activity of ___
Na transport proteins
angiotensin 2 stimulates the secretion of ___ from the adrenal gland
aldosterone
