Q

Q

what does anti- diuretic hormone indicate?

A

-cascade of events within the cells that leads to an increased number of AQP2 channels in luminal membrane
- allows increased passive diffusion of H20 into cells

Q

describe aquaporins

A
  • water channels that are activated and moved towards the cell wall to transport water out tubules+ back into body
  • operate in collecting ducts

22
Q

what stimulates the aquaporin channels?

A
  • anti - diuretic hormone (vasopressin) stimulates them
23
Q

what system does ADH use and what for?

A
  • cAMP systems to cause insertion of aquaporins into membranes of cells of collecting duct
24
Q

what does insertion of aquaporins in membrane of cells in CD cause?

A
  • outflow of water out of collecting ducts to be reabsorbed
25
Q

where does regulation of ADH release occur?

A
  • posterior pituitary gland
  • receives signals from baroreceptors and osmoreceptors
26
Q

why is absorption control more important than GFR?

A
  • more important for long term regulation of Na+ excretion
27
Q

what 3 factors determine the rate of tubular Na+ reabsorption?

A
  • aldosterone
  • atrial natriuretic peptide
  • local effect of bp on tubules
28
Q

how does aldosterone and renin- angiotensin system start?

A
  • release of renin converts peptide angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1
29
Q

what happens to the angiotensin 1?

A
  • converted to angiotensin II by angiotensin converting enzyme
  • enzyme acts on adrenal glands, kidneys and brains (target cells)
30
Q

what happens due to angiotensin converting enzyme?

A
  • activation of receptors in adrenal gland stimulates aldosterone release
  • increases Na+ and H20 reabsorption
  • decrease in plasma volume ^ Na+ reabsorption
31
Q

what is ANP and where is it synthesised and released?

A
  • atrial natriuretic peptide
  • synthesised in heart
  • released by atrial myocytes
32
Q

when is ANP released and what does an increase in ANP circulation cause?

A
  • released in response to atria stretching when circulatory blood volume increases
  • it works to increase Na+ excretion
33
Q

what does regulation of bodily fluid osmolarity require?

A
  • separation of water excretion from Na+ excretion
  • allowed via osmoreceptors and ADH dependent water reabsorption without Na+ reabsorption into CDs
34
Q

what role does renal system play in regulating bp?

A
  • sodium and water key in regulating bp
35
Q

describe local effects of blood pressure on tubules

A
  • baroreceptors regulate blood pressure simultaneously regulating total body sodium
36
Q

what is GFR affected by?

A
  • volume of surface available
  • filtration membrane permeability
  • NFP (net filtration pressure)
  • blood flow to glomerular capillaries
37
Q

what is GFR directly proportion to? what does this mean?

A
  • proportional to NFP
  • increase in systemic blood pressure increases GFR
38
Q

describe inputs controlling thirst- how are deficits compensated ?

A
  • kidneys cannot create new Na+ or H20 so deficits must eventually be compensated by ingestion
39
Q

what are diuretics? state an example

A
  • promotes loss of Na+ H20
  • can be used to control BP
  • alcohol inhibits the release of vasopressin
40
Q

what are osmotic diuretic

A
  • carbs that are filtered but not reabsorbed
41
Q

what are loop diuretics?

A
  • most powerful as they inhibit the formation of medullar gradient through inhibiting Na+ reabsorption
42
Q

what are hydrochlorothiazide diuretics?

A
  • acts on distal collecting duct
43
Q

what are spironolactone diuretics?

A
  • example of an aldosterone receptor antagonist
  • K+ in urine is from aldosterone- driven active tubular secretion into DCT and collecting duct
44
Q

what happens to renal blood as exercise intensity increases?

A
  • as exercise intensity increases renal blood flow decreases
45
Q

when is GFR only affected?

A
  • at exercise intensities above 50% of V02 max
46
Q

what system is used during exercise and what does this cause?

A
  • sympathetic to vasoconstrict renal arterioles and hence reduce blood flow
47
Q

what else reduces renal blood flow during exercise?

A
  • increase ADH release due to renin- angiotensin- aldosterone system
48
Q

what do kidneys do during exercise?

A
  • kidneys have higher workload to buffer hydrogen ions
  • remove 2% lactate produced
49
Q

how do kidneys maintain pH during exercise?

A
  • loss of excess H+ in urine
  • lactate removed
50
Q

how do kidneys conserve water?

A
  • through anti- diuretic hormone and Na+ reabsorption
  • fluid regulatory hormones
51
Q

what do kidneys excrete post exercise?

A
  • excrete metabolites e.g. creatine for muscle breakdown
52
Q

what is rhabdomyolysis?

A
  • condition where skeletal muscle cell damage can cause acute renal failure and sometimes death
53
Q

what increases the risk of rhabdomyolysis ?

A
  • heat stress and dehydration
