Q

How do changers in ECF affect arterial pressure and cartiac output

A

They are sensed as changes in ECV and change directly.

so v ECF means lower AP and CO

Q

What happens to Na excretion when there is higher [Na+] in the CSF?

Study These Flashcards
A

decreased sympathetics and higher Na excretion

20
Q

Does the RAA system promote salt retention or excretion?

Study These Flashcards
A

Promotes salt retention

21
Q

Does ANP promote salt retention or excretion?

22
Q

How does the negative feedback system eventually activate renin to increase ECV after an initial decrease?

Study These Flashcards
A

v ECV => v AP and ^ sympathetics => v renal perfusion => v fluid delivery to macula densa => ^ renin

23
Q

What does renin do by itself?

Study These Flashcards
A

convert angiotensinogen to Angiotensin I

24
Q

What does ACE do?

Study These Flashcards
A

converts angiotensin I to Angiotensin II

25
What do angiotensinases do?
convert AT-II to AT-III
26
What does AT-II do?
stimulates ADH release from post. pituitary and thirst | stimulates aldosterone release from adrenal cortex under influence of ACTh (WITH AT-III)
27
What does aldosterone do?
circulates to the kidney where it binds to intracellular receptors signaling the production of new Na/K ATPase pumps in the DT and CD
28
What happens to sodium when Na/K pump activity increases?
Na+ reabsorption increases
29
What happens to potassium when Na/K pump activity increases?
Potassium secretion and excretion both increase
30
What is required for Na+ reabsorption to also promote water reabsorption?
Presence of ADH
31
What is the source of atrial natriuretic peptide?
syntheized and released in cardiac atria by myocytes
32
What is urodilatin?
natriuretic peptide produced endogenously in kidney
33
What promotes ANP release?
^ ECF volume ^ arterial pressure causing ^ left atrial pressure ^ venous pressure causing ^ R atrial pressure
34
What are the effects of increased ANP
decrease sympathetic: =>v ADH =>water diuresis =>^GFR => ^tubular load Na+ => ^ Na+ Excretion v aldosterone => v Na+ reabsorption v renin => v AT-II => v aldosterone => v Na+ reabsorption
35
What is euvolemia?
net 0 Na balance when excretion matches intake
36
During euvolemia, how much of the filtered Na+ load is reabsorbed?
99% (67% in PT, 25% in thick ascending limb, rest in DT and CD for fine control)
37
During euvolemia, which parts are under coarse control and which are under fine control for Na+ balance
PT and TAL are coarse control. | DT and CCD are fine control.
38
What is the mechanism for adjusting Na+ reabsorption to GFR fluctuations in PT?
Na+ reabsorbed load proportioned to Na+ filtered load (GT Balance)
39
What is the mechanism for adjusting Na+ reabsorption to GFR fluctuations in TAL (Thick ascending limb of Henle)?
Na+ reabsorption rate proportioned to Na+ delivery rate
40
What is the mechanism for adjusting Na+ reabsorption to GFR fluctuations in DT, CCD, IMCD?
Na+ reabsorption rate simulated by increased Na+ load
41
What are the 3 integrated responses of the nephron to increased ECV(Effective Circulating Volume)?
Increased GFR decreased Na+ reabsorption in PT decreased Na+ reabsorption in CD
42
What are the 3 integrated responses of the nephron to decreased ECV(Effective Circulating Volume)?
decreased GFR increased Na+ reabsorption in PT increased Na+ reabsorption in CD
43
What happens to ECV and plasma volume when fluid is lost to the interstitium?
v ECV and v plasma volume with no change in body weight | pulmonary edema, pleural effusion, ascites, pitting edema of ankles
44
How does increased venous pressure eventually lead to NaCl reabsorption?
^ venous pressure => ^ capillary hydrostatic pressure => ^ fluid movement into interstitium => v plasma volume => v ECV detected by baroreceptors => ^ symp. activity => ^ reabsorption of NaCl and H2O If too much then this can repeat over until fluid into intertitium is extreme, causing edema
45
What is the starling force equation?
flow = Kf * (Pc-Pi-pic + pii)
46
What two components of starling forces are the most common causes of generalized edema?
increased capillary hydrostatic force | decreased capillary oncotic force
