high Cl concentration

97
Q

what do macula densa cells secrete

A

ATP which turns into actylcholine

98
Q

what the the ATP do

A

a vasoconstrictor chemical that contracts AA
reduced blood flow and decreased GFR

99
Q

what happens with a decreased GFR

A

more NaCl absorption
macula densa cells secrete nothing so AA dilate

100
Q

what is Neural in correlation with GFR

A

when blood pressure is low, the body pushes blood away from the kidneys to other vital organs

101
Q

what is the nueral controls controlled by

A

the SNS in releasing Epi and norepinephrine

102
Q

what do the baroreceptors do in nueral controls

A

cause vaso constrictions and increase blood flow

103
Q

what do contraction of AA and decreased GFR result in

A

increased blood vol. and pressure

104
Q

what does hormonal controls do

A

used renin-angiotensin

105
Q

what is reabsorption

A

the return of filtered molecules back to blood

Q

ADH in relation to system

A

acts on collecting duct in response to dehydration
it changes water permeability using AQUAporins

acts on collecting duct released when systemic BP is low
targets principal cells to reabsorb Na+ and water that increased BP and blood vol.

A

acts on collecting duct released from the right atrium of the heart when it is stretched due to high blood vol.

A

PCT

134
Q

what is secretion

A

process to clear plasma of unwanted substances

A

detrusor muscle contracts
The internal urethral sphincter opens

138
Q

what is the goal of the kidneys

A

monitors solute to keep blood osmolarity at 300mOsm
