Renal 8 Hormonal Regulation of Body Salts Flashcards
What 3 ions are the major determinants of ECF osmolality ?
Na+, Cl- , HCO3-
What is the major determinant of ECF volume?
ECF osmolality
What happens to osmolality and ECF when you increase Na+?
^ Na»_space; ^ osmolality»_space; ^ water reabsorb.»_space; v osmolality and ^ ECF
What happens to osmolality and ECF when you decrease Na+?
v Na»_space; v osmolality»_space; v water reabsorb.»_space; ^ osmolality and v ECF
What does positive Na balance mean for intake and excretion and ECF?
Na intake > Na excretion, ECF increases, increasing body weight
What does negative Na balance mean for intake and excretion and ECF?
Na intake < excretion, ECF decreases, decreasing body weight
Normally, how do the kidneys keep ECF volume constant?
adjusting excretion of Na and Cl
What is effective circulating volume? (ECV)
ECV reflects the portion of ECF volume within the vascular system that is effectively perfusing the tissues
How do changers in ECF affect arterial pressure and cartiac output
They are sensed as changes in ECV and change directly.
so v ECF means lower AP and CO
When ECF is increased, what happens to arterial pressure and cardiac output?
Both increase as it is sensed as increased ECV
When ECF is decreased, what happens to arterial pressure and cardiac output?
Both decrease as it is sensed as decreased ECV
How does pulmonary vasculature engorgement lead to water diuresis?
engorgement => v sympathetic and v ADH => water diuresis
Are the cardiac atrial stretch sensors for low or high pressure?
Low pressures (Venous side of circulation)
What gets released with cardiac atrial stretch and what does it cause?
ANP and natriuresis
Are the aortic and carotid sinus baroreceptors for low or high pressure?
High pressures (arterial side)
What happens when the aortic arch and carotid sinus baroreceptors are stimulated?
decrease s ympathetics and decrease ADH
What does very slow tubular flow cause?
stimulation of JGA (juxtaglomerular apparatus) -> ^ renin
What are the hepatic sensors
^ liver pressure receptors => v sympathetics and ^ Na+ secretion
^portal vein Na+ sensors => v sympathetics and ^ Na+ excretion
