Week 10 Flashcards

1
Q

Short term adjustment for low arterial blood pressure

A
  • Low blood pressure detected by baroreceptors
  • increased sympathetic activity which leads to increased cardiac output and increased vasoconstriction
  • Increased vasoconstriction leads to increased total peripheral resistance
  • Cardiac output and peripheral resistance leads to increased arterial blood pressure

Q

Long term adjustment for low arterial blood pressure

A
  • Low blood pressure detected by baroreceptors
  • Leads to increased sympathetic activity which increases arteriolar vasoconstriction which leads to decreased glomerular capillary blood pressure which leads to decreased GFR which leads to decreased urine volume and conservation of salt and fluid
  • this leads to increased arterial blood pressure

Q

What happens when there is low NaCl, ECF volume and arterial blood pressure

A
  • Detected by the juxtaglomerular apparatus
  • Triggers kidney to release renin
  • Liver continually releases angiotensinogen
  • Renin converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I
  • The lungs release ACE which converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II
  • Angiotensin II triggers thirst (increases ECF volume), an increase in vasopressin (conserves H2O), arteriolar vasoconstriction (helps bp), and the adrenal medulla to release aldosterone
  • Aldosterone acts on the kidney and promotes Na+ reabsorption (Na+ and Cl- conserved which osmotically holds more H2O in ECF which increases H2O conserved)

Q

What occurs when there is a loss of H2O and Na+ during severe diarrhea

A
  • Decreased Plasma volume which leads to decreased venous pressure
  • The decrease in venous pressure will lead to two things
  • A decrease in venous return which decreases end diastolic volume, which leads to decreased stroke volume and cardiac output which decreases arterial pressure which decreases glomerular filtration pressure
  • An increase in sympathetic activity which leads to vasoconstriction of afferent arterioles which causes decreased glomerular filtration pressure
  • Decreased glomerular filtration pressure leads to decreased GFR which leads to less Na+ and H2O secreted

Q

Physiologic role of Aldosterone in restoration of plasma volume

A
  • Decrease plasma volume leads to decrease in venous, atrial and arterial pressures
  • Leads to a decrease in GFR and increase of activity of renal sympathetic nerves (which also leads to decrease in GFR) which leads to an increase in renin secretion due to a decrease in flow to macula densa which leads to an increase in angiotensin II which leads an increase in aldosterone from adrenal cortex which leads to an increase in Na and H2O reabsorption which leads to less Na and H2O excreted

Q

Physiologic reflexes to severe sweating

A

Severe sweating leads to loss of hypoosmotic salt solution which leads to two things: a decrease in plasma volume which leads to a decrease in GFR and an increase in Aldosterone which leads to a decrease in Na+ excretion. Also an increase in plasma osmolarity which leads to thirst and an increase of ADH secretion which leads to less H2O secreted

42
Q

Excretory Regulation of acid-base homeostasis

A
  1. H+ excretion in urine (get rid of acidosis)
  2. HCO3- excretion in urine (get ride of alkalosis)
43
Q

[H+] excretion in urine

A
  • [H+] concentration in plasma is low so filtration rate is low
  • Most H+ in urine is due to H+ secretion in proximal and distal tubules using K+/H+ ATPase or the Na+/H+ cotransporter
44
Q

[HCO3-] excretion in urine

A
  • High HCO3- (20x H+ concentration in plasma)
  • Each secreted H+ leads to one HCO3+ reabsorbed
  • If Acidosis, more H+ secreted and more HCO3- reabsorbed
  • If alkalosis, less H+ secreted and less HCO3- reabsorbed so bicarbonate in urine
45
Q

Excretory response to acidosis

A
  • Increase in H+ secretion and more HCO3- reabsorbed
  • Plasma [H+] decreases
  • Plasma [HCO3-] increases
46
Q

Reabsorption of bicarbonate

A

-H2O and CO2 in peritubular cell undergo carbonic anhydrase and become H2CO3
H2CO3 breaks apart and becomes H+ and HCO3-
-HCO3- is passively transported to interstitial fluid
- H+ is actively transported into the tubular lumen and filtrate (where HCO3- is already located from being filtered by glomerulus)
- H+ and HCO3- combine to make H2CO3 which breaks down into H2O and CO2 which then both diffuse into plasma
- The role of the H+ is to essentially bring back the HCO3- from the filtrate back to the blood

47
Q

Generation of New Bicarbonate with each H+ excretion

A
  • H2O and CO2 in peritubular cell undergo carbonic anhydrase and merge into H2CO3 which breaks down into H+ and HCO3-
  • HCO3- is passively transported into interstitial fluid
  • H+ is actively transported into tubular lumen and filtrate where HPO42- is already present from being filtered
  • H+ and HPO42- merge to become H2PO4- which is excreted in the urine
  • This actively excretes the free H+ ions
48
Q

Renal response to acidosis

A
  • Sufficient H+ secreted to reabsorb all filtered bicarbonate
  • More H+ secreted creating new bicarbonate in plasma and H+ is secreted bound to urinary buffer (HPO42-)
  • Net result: more bicarbonate added to plasma, plasma bicarbonate is increased, compensating for acidosis, urine pH is acidic
49
Q

Renal response to alkalosis

A
  • Rate of H+ secretion is inadequate to reabsorb all filtered bicarbonate so significant amounts of bicarbonate in urine and little excretion of H+ ion on nonbicarbonate urinary buffers
  • Net result: plasma bicarbonate is decreased thereby compensating for alkalosis. Urine pH is alkaline
50

55
Q

Anterior Pituitary

A

Gonadotropins (LH and FSH)

56
Q

Ovary

A
  • Steroid Hormones (E2 and P4)
57
Q

Hypothalamic - Pituitary -Gonadal Axis

A

-Tonic GnRH Pulse Center in Hypothalamus signals to anterior pituitary to release LH pulses which signal to the dominant follicle to grow (grew from follicle via FSH)
- Dominant follicle becomes preovulatory follicle signals to GnRH surge center in hypothalamus to start a GnRH/LH surgve via E2 Positive feedback
- This surge causes ovulation and the development of the Corpus Luteum which releases progesterone and negatively regulates the Tonic GnRH Pulse Center and estradiol

58
Q

Follicle diameter and days from ovulation

A
  • Right after ovulation, there is a non-dominant follicle wave in which the diameter is low and stays low (~6mm diameter) until menses
  • Menses occurs roughly 14 days after ovulation and the follicle diameter dips than skyrockets until it becomes the ovulatory follicle right before ovulation (~20 mm diameter)
59
Q

CL area and days from ovulation

A
  • At ovulation, CL is high and increases a bit and then starts decreasing as menses approaches ~14 days after ovulation
  • Continues to steadily, yet more slowly decrease until ovulation
60
Q

When does menstruation occur

A

After CL regression (decrease in progesterone and estradiol)

61
Q

E2 concentration and days from ovulation

A

-After ovulation, E2 is somewhat raised from presence or large CL
- Decreases during menses and stays low until it rapidly increases from circulating E2 before ovulation

62
Q

Progesterone and Estradiol concentrations vs days onset of menstration

A

-Both are low during menstruation
- Estradiol has a sharp increase and decrease 14 days after menses (ovulation) and then a more prolonged period of a higher concentration up until the next menstruation
- Progesterone stays low until it starts to increase around 14 days after menstruation (ovulation)

63
Q

FSH and LH vs days onset of menstration

A
  • FSH surge at menstruation, then again 13 days after (during ovulation)
  • LH surge 14 days after menses (ovulation)
64
Q

Follicle size and days onset of menstration

A
  • Day 4: many follicles largest around 8mm
  • Day 13: one follicle is largest ~20 mm
    ovulation occurs
  • Day 21: Many follicles largest ~8 mm, and Large CL ~20 m
  • Day 28: regressed CL ~10mm
65
Q

Progesterone (P4) concentrations in bovine cycle

A
  • Steadily increases after estrus and then sharply decreases before estrus
66
Q

Two follicular waves

A
  • Recruitment, selection and dominance occur twice, but the first time leads to follicle death since there is no ovulation and the second time leads to ovulation
67
Q

Bovine P4 and E2 vs days from onset of estrus

A
  • at Estrus, there is a spike in estradiol
  • At estrus there is low progesterone, after estrus there is a steady increase in progesterone until it sharply decreases
68
Q

Bovine LH and FSH

A
  • At Estrus, there is a spike in LH and FSH
  • Shortly after estrus there is a second spike in FSH and before the next estrus there is a larger spike in FSH
69
Q

A
  • Produced by corpus luteum
  • Maintains pregnancy and inhibits estrus and tone
71
Q

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)

A
  • Produced by pituitary
  • Causes growth of follicles
72
Q

A
  • Produced by Pituitary
  • Causes ovulation
74
Q

75
Q

If uterus is removed from cow

A

No CL regression (as opposed to CL regression at 18-19 days)

76
Q

If uterus is removed from woman

A

Regression of CL happens at a similar time

77
Q

Luteolysis in primates

A
  • Does not involve PGF secretion from non-pregnant uterus
  • Involves a loss of adequate LH/PKA stimulation
78
Q

In women, why do follicles only grow large after regression of CL
