Q

ADH is regulated by Osm & Vol/Pressure

ADH responds greater to changes in _________.

RAAS responds greater to changes in __________.

A

ADH responds greater to changes in mOsmolarity (Na+).

A
50
Q

How does ADH respond to changes in plasma osmolarity?

Q

What are three factors that stimulate potassium secretion by the principal cells?

A
  1. Increased extracellular fluid potassium concentration
  2. Increased aldosterone
  3. Increased tubular flow rate
71
Q

What is one factor that decreases potassium secretion?

A

Increased hydrogen ion concentration (acidosis)

72
Q

Increased dietary potassium intake and increased extracellular fluid potassium concentration stimulate potassium secretion by what four mechanisms?

A
  1. Na+/K+ ATPase is stimulated increasing potassium uptake across the basolateral membrane which ultimately makes its way across the luminal membrane into the tubule
  2. Increased extracellular K+ increases the potassium gradient from the renal interstitial fluid to the interior of the epithelial cell, which reduces backleakage of K+ from the inside of the cells through the basolateral membrane
  3. Increased K+ intake stimulates more potassium channels from the cytosol to luminal membrane, increasing K+ diffusion
  4. Aldosterone is stimulated by the adrenal cortex, which further stimulates K+ secretion
73
Q

If renal clearance is greater than the GFR, that implies there must be __________ of that substance

A

secretion
