30
Q

This stimuli leads to hyponatremia

A

↓ NaCl transport in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle

Renin’s job is to increase sodium in the
body

31
Q

Primary Stimuli for Renin Secretion

↓ pressure or stretch within the ___ ___ ___ (baroreceptor mechanism)

A

Renal Afferent Aretriole

32
Q

33
Q

T/F: Renin’s job is to also decrease fluid

A

False (Increase)
↑ sodium → water follows (normal mechanism during dehydration)

34
Q

T/F: ↑ sodium → Less urine formation

A

True
D/t kidneys reabsorbing back the water that should come out as urine

35
Q

Primary Stimuli for Renin Secretion

Clue: Nervousness and agitation stimulates renin

A

Sympathetic Nervous System

36
Q

Does stimulating renin add to the elevation in BP?

A

Yes
↑ sodium reabsorption → ↑ water absorption (more water circulating in the system) → expect elevated BP
