Q

How do changers in ECF affect arterial pressure and cartiac output

A

They are sensed as changes in ECV and change directly.

so v ECF means lower AP and CO

Q

What happens to Na excretion when there is higher [Na+] in the CSF?

A

decreased sympathetics and higher Na excretion

20
Q

Does the RAA system promote salt retention or excretion?

A

Promotes salt retention

21
Q

Does ANP promote salt retention or excretion?

A

Excretion

22
Q

How does the negative feedback system eventually activate renin to increase ECV after an initial decrease?

A

v ECV => v AP and ^ sympathetics => v renal perfusion => v fluid delivery to macula densa => ^ renin

23
Q

What does renin do by itself?

A

convert angiotensinogen to Angiotensin I

24
Q

What does ACE do?

A

converts angiotensin I to Angiotensin II

25
Q

What do angiotensinases do?

A

convert AT-II to AT-III

26
Q

What does AT-II do?

A

stimulates ADH release from post. pituitary and thirst

stimulates aldosterone release from adrenal cortex under influence of ACTh (WITH AT-III)

27
Q

What does aldosterone do?

A

circulates to the kidney where it binds to intracellular receptors signaling the production of new Na/K ATPase pumps in the DT and CD

28
Q

What happens to sodium when Na/K pump activity increases?

A

Na+ reabsorption increases

29
Q

What happens to potassium when Na/K pump activity increases?

A

Potassium secretion and excretion both increase

30
Q

What is required for Na+ reabsorption to also promote water reabsorption?

A

Presence of ADH

31
Q

What is the source of atrial natriuretic peptide?

A

syntheized and released in cardiac atria by myocytes

32
Q

What is urodilatin?

A

natriuretic peptide produced endogenously in kidney

33
Q

What promotes ANP release?

A

^ ECF volume
^ arterial pressure causing ^ left atrial pressure
^ venous pressure causing ^ R atrial pressure

34
Q

What are the effects of increased ANP

A

decrease sympathetic:
=>v ADH =>water diuresis
=>^GFR => ^tubular load Na+ => ^ Na+ Excretion

v aldosterone => v Na+ reabsorption
v renin => v AT-II => v aldosterone => v Na+ reabsorption

35
Q

What is euvolemia?

A

net 0 Na balance when excretion matches intake

36
Q

During euvolemia, how much of the filtered Na+ load is reabsorbed?

A

99% (67% in PT, 25% in thick ascending limb, rest in DT and CD for fine control)

37
Q

During euvolemia, which parts are under coarse control and which are under fine control for Na+ balance

A

PT and TAL are coarse control.

DT and CCD are fine control.

38
Q

What is the mechanism for adjusting Na+ reabsorption to GFR fluctuations in PT?

A

Na+ reabsorbed load proportioned to Na+ filtered load (GT Balance)

39
Q

What is the mechanism for adjusting Na+ reabsorption to GFR fluctuations in TAL (Thick ascending limb of Henle)?

A

Na+ reabsorption rate proportioned to Na+ delivery rate

40
Q

What is the mechanism for adjusting Na+ reabsorption to GFR fluctuations in DT, CCD, IMCD?

A

Na+ reabsorption rate simulated by increased Na+ load

41
Q

What are the 3 integrated responses of the nephron to increased ECV(Effective Circulating Volume)?

A

Increased GFR
decreased Na+ reabsorption in PT
decreased Na+ reabsorption in CD

42
Q

What are the 3 integrated responses of the nephron to decreased ECV(Effective Circulating Volume)?

A

decreased GFR
increased Na+ reabsorption in PT
increased Na+ reabsorption in CD

43
Q

What happens to ECV and plasma volume when fluid is lost to the interstitium?

A

v ECV and v plasma volume with no change in body weight

pulmonary edema, pleural effusion, ascites, pitting edema of ankles

44
Q

How does increased venous pressure eventually lead to NaCl reabsorption?

A

^ venous pressure => ^ capillary hydrostatic pressure => ^ fluid movement into interstitium => v plasma volume => v ECV detected by baroreceptors => ^ symp. activity => ^ reabsorption of NaCl and H2O

If too much then this can repeat over until fluid into intertitium is extreme, causing edema

45
Q

What is the starling force equation?

A

flow = Kf * (Pc-Pi-pic + pii)

46
Q

What two components of starling forces are the most common causes of generalized edema?

A

increased capillary hydrostatic force

decreased capillary oncotic force
