Hypothalamic regulation of water/osmolar balance and the organs involved?
Osmoreceptor neurons sense incr osmo pressure of carotid blood (dehydr) and incr firing, and receptors in perinuclear area near SON/PVN of hypothal receive this input and synpase onto SON and PVN and these rel ADH.
- vol receptors maybe sense changes in blood vol in ant nucl group, stretch receptors etc
- SFO and OVLT also inv in regulation of water balance, sense incr ang II in hypovolemia
HYPOTHAL ADH RELEASE
ADH synth in SON and PVN, ADH stored in neurosecr granules that are transported to be released in depol, depol causes granule to rel contents in post pit via ca, decr core body temp and EtOH/incr vol inhibits ADH
What happens with hypothal in hyperosmolar/dehydrated states?
Osmoreceptor neurons sense incr and incr firing rate, signal synpases on ADH producing neurons in SON and PVN, adh travels thru neurohypophyseal tract to post pit, goes to kidney collecting duct to help body retain more water
-ang II also produced by kidney to activate neurons in SFO and OVLT, stimulates thirst sensation (unknown mech)
What happens with hypothal in hypovolemic (eg hemorrhagic) state>
-ang II rel from kidneys and incr firing rate of SFO and OVLT which syn onto SON/PVN to make ADH. incr ADH causes water retention to correct loss of blood vol, stretch rec sense decr and send aff signals to son and pvn via CN 9 and 10 to incr ADH, and angII also constricts blood vessels and incr BP to incr vol retention and maintain organ perfusion
diagrams of what happens in dehydration vs hemorrhage in hypothal
What are two very important hypothal controls that affect homeostasis in the body?
1) core body temp regulation
2) energy balance reg
