Q

how are fluids and electrolytes excreted

A

kidneys are primary route, small amounts in feces and sweat, lungs lose water and help remove H+, HCO3 by excreting CO2

Q

why is maintaining osmolarity in the body important

A

water can cross most cell membranes freely
- can affect cell volume and most cells do not have mechanisms

Q

what can CV and resp. systems do before renal response

A

can kick in for temporary fix but renal will completely fix
- pathways overlap

Q

if increase in blood volume and BP what does kidneys do

A

excrete salts and H2O in urine, decreases ECF and ICF volume which decreases BP

24
Q

what kind of mechanism is water loss in urine under normal conditions

A

regulated

25
Q

how is water gained

A

food and drink, metabolism

26
Q

how is water lost

A

skin, lungs, urine, feces

27
Q

what can the kidneys not do

A

can remove excess and conserve fluid but cannot replace what is lost

28
Q

what does volume loss result in

A

reduced GFR, volume loss in urine is reduced, reabsorption can be increased

29
Q

what must volume loss be replaced through

A

behavioural mechanisms

30
Q

what creates concentrated urine

A

renal medulla

31
Q

what is the osmolarity of urine a measure of

A

how much water is excreted by kidneys

32
Q

when removal of excess water is required what happens

A

kidneys produced large volume of dilute urine
- as low as 50mOsM

33
Q

if kidneys need to conserve water what do they do

A

low volume of concentrated urine
- up to 1200mOsM

34
Q

how do the kidneys control urine concentration

A

vary amounts of water and Na reabsorbed in distal nephron (distal tubule and collecting duct)

35
Q

how do kidneys produced dilute urine

A

distal nephron must reabsorb solute without allowing water to follow by osmosis (regulated aquaporins)

36
Q

how do kidneys produces concentrated urine

A

distal nephron must reabsorb water and little solute

37
Q

what happens in proximal tubule

A

only water reabsorbed (interstitial has lot of solute)

38
Q

what is osmolarity as further and further down medulla

A

more and more concentrated

39
Q

how do distal tubule and collecting duct alter their permeability to water

A

adding and removing water pore in apical membrane

40
Q

what are the aquaporins under direction of

A

posterior piuitary hormone vasopressin (AVP)

41
Q

what is another word for vasopressin

A

antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

42
Q

with max vasopressin what occurs

A

collecting duct is freely permeable
- water leaves carried away by vasa recta
- urine is concentrated

43
Q

what happens with absence of vasopressin

A

collecting duct is impermeable to water and urine is dilute
- large volume urine and no rebsorption

44
Q

what is insertion of AQP2

A

graded, depends on amount of AVP

45
Q

what stimulates vasopressin secretion

A

blood volume, pressure, and osmolarity (most potent)

46
Q

How does circadian rythm affect AVP

A

at night it is increased, prevents peeing, increased reabsorption of H20

47
Q

what is osmolarity monitored by

A

osmoreceptor neurons

48
Q

what is low blood volume sensed by

A

atrial stretch receptors

49
Q

what is decreased BP sensed by

A

carotid and aortic baroreceptors

50
Q

what produces and releases AVP

A

magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNC’s)

51
Q

what are osmoreceptors

A

stretch sensitive neurons that increase firing rate as osmolarity increases

52
Q

what do the osmoreceptors signal to

A

to MNC’s where APs fire causing release of AVP containing vesicles

53
Q

what else signals to MNC’s

A

baro and atrial receptors

54
Q

where are vesicles containing AVP stores

A

posterior pituitary

55
Q

what is the countercurrent multiplier

A

the loop of henle

56
Q

what is necessary to create the concentration gradient for osmotic movement of water out of collecting duct

A

high osmolarity within the medullary interstitum

57
Q

what created hyperosmotic interstitium

A

countercurrent exchange systems
urea

58
Q

what is the countercurrent exchange system

A

loop of henle and vasa recta run in opposite directions and loop of henle close together
