Renal 6 - sodium Flashcards
what kind of hormone is ADH
peptide
what is the role of osmoreceptors
sense increase in plasma osmolarity
where are osmoreceptors
in the hypothalamus
where is ADH made
cell of the supra-optic nucleus in the hypothalamus
where is ADH secreted
posterior pituitary
where is the site of ADH action
collecting duct cells
work on specific aquaporins
what is the mechanism of action of ADH
alters water permeability of the luminal membrane of cortical collecting ducts (increases reabsorption)
what are aquaporins
water channels found in renal tubule cells (and other cells)
which aquaporins in the proximal convoluted tubules
AQP1
which aquaporins in the collecting ducts
AQP 2 3 4
what aquaporin does ADH regulate and how and where
AQP2
increase gene transcription
luminal side of collecting duct
(physiological regulation)
are AQPs on the basolateral membranes regulated by ADH
no
what happens to AQP2 when there is no vasopressin
the channels are reabsorbed into vesicles
less water reabsorption
what happens to permeability of water without ADH to the cortical collecting ducts
nearly impermeable to water
what is water diuresis
lots of fluid loss through urine
what causes water diuresis
absence of ADD
what can cause an increase in ADH (environment)
warm, shock, pain, no water
what can cause an decrease in ADH (environment)
cold, humid, alcohol
what does high ADH cause
retain water
what does low ADH cause
lose water
what is central diabetes insipidus
failure to release ADH from posterior pituitary
what is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
defect at level of nephron tubule cells,
weak collecting duct cells
does diabetes insipidus involve sugar?
nah fam, has to do with ADH or ADH RECEPTORS
where does most of the gradient come from
50% from NaCl
how does the interstitial space change in dry environments
more of a gradient
how does the interstitial space change in non dry environments
less of a gradient
what is water diuresis
when excess water is excreted without excess solute in urine
what condition is associated with water diuresis
diabetes insipidus
what causes diabetes insupidus
messed up vasopressin/ADH
what is osmotic diuresis
excess solute in urine that is associated with high levels of water excretion
