**Release of ADH to increase sensation of Thirst** ## Footnote Thirst increases water consumption, ADH increases water reabsorption in distal tubule and collecting ducts

Short Term Plasma/BP Regulation = These receptors sense drops in BP when it first happens and then stimulates what?

Aortic Arch and Carotid Sinus Baroreceptors **Increases Sympathetic Actiity** to body including kidneys

Increased Sympathetic Nerve Activity Actions (3)

1. Sympathetic Nerve innervates **Afferent Arteriole to vasoconstrict** and decrease GFR 2. Sympathetic Nerve innervates **Juxtaglomerular Apparatus to stimulate Granular cells to release Renin** 3. **Stimulates ADH secretion**

Summary of Control of Plasma Volume and Total Body Sodium ## Footnote All in all =

Aortic and Carotid baroreceptors adapt after a few minutes so only a few minutes of sympathetic nerve activity but is enough to get the ball rolling bc renal baroreceptros will take over

Ch 7: Control of Fluid Osmolarity by ADH Thirst System ## Footnote Water balance and ECF osmolarity * ECF osmolarity is regulated by maintaining _____ balance * Total body osmolarity is defined as the ratio of (1):(1) * Total body osmoles is primarily determined by ECF ____ content * Water balance depends on equality between total body water ____ and total body water \_\_\_\_

* water * total body osmoles: total body water * sodium * gains, loss We want to control osmolarity to control **cell volume** -\> hypotonic ECF -\> cell swelling -\> impaired function/injury to cells Regulated by maintaining water balance to match whatever concentration of solues we have to make it isotonic

Water Balance ## Footnote Body water is **gained** from two primary sources = Body water is primarily **lost** through three routes =

Consumed alone or in food or liberated from metabolic processes Lost through Urine, Feces, Sweat

Water Balance and ECF osmolarity ## Footnote Two elements that control total body water and therefore osmolarity 1. the ____ control water excretion 2. the _____ mechanism that controls oral intake of water Both effector mechanisms are part of a _____ feedback loop that starts in the _____ of the brain Regulation of ECF osmolarity involves the detection of ____ osmolarity

1. kidneys 2. thirst negative feedback loop, hypothalamus plasma

Central Osmoreceptors = (2) Increased plasma osmolarity sensed by these and stimulate _____ -\> ______ -\> \_\_\_\_\_\_\_

**Circumventricular Organs** that sense changes in osmolarity of plasma **SFO** **OVLT** Hypothalamus -\> Posterior Pituitary -\> release of ADH

Sensitivity of ADH release ## Footnote OVC's very \_\_\_\_ In healthy individuals, plasma osmolarity is about 290mOsm * The threshold for AVP (arginine vasopressin) release is actually a bit lower about _____ mOsm * Increases by as little as \_% in plasma osmolarity can produce a large increase in plasma \_\_\_ * ADH then acts on the (2) to increase water reabsorption

sensitive * 280 * 1%, ADH * distal tubule and collecting duct

Central Osmoreceptors: Functions of SFO/OVLT ## Footnote When SFO and OVLT sense increased osmolarity and release ADH, also stimulates what?

**Thirst**

Where does the system that controls plasma osmolarity intersect with the system that controls plasma volume?

Ang II receptors on SFO and OLVT -\> stimulate thirst and hypothalmic release of vasopressin Part of brainstem that controls SNS activity also stimulates thirst and hypothalmic release of vasopressin + ang II also stimulates SFO/OVLT to sitmulate thirst Thirst and ADH release stimulated under conditions where plasma osmolarity rises OR when plasma volume and BP drop -\> goals are both fluid consumption and water retention

Other Factors Affecting Plasma (ADH) and Plasma Osmolarity ## Footnote and how? 1. Rate of ADH _____ by \_\_\_\_\_ 2. P\_\_\_, F\_\_\_, and T\_\_\_\_ 3. A\_\_\_\_\_

1. ADH breakdown by Liver * liver impairment -\> decreased breakdown -\> increased plasma 2. Pain, Fear, Trauma * increased sympathetic activation increases plasma ADH (ie post surgical SIADH, temporary) 3. Alcohol * Alcohol suppreses ADH secretion -\> inappropriate water loss (why we pee so much when we're drunk) -\> more vulnerable to dehydration
