Where is renin secreted by?
kidneys
What causes renin to be secreted?
decrease in renal pressure/flow
What does renin bind and cleave too?
angiotensinogen
Where is angiotensinogen made?
liver
What does angiotensinogen form?
angiotensin I (inactive)
Where does angiotensin I get converted to angiotensin II?
lungs by ACE
What is the role of angiotensin II?
vasoconstriction
Where does angiotensin II bind?
receptor cells in the zone glomerulus of the adrenal gland which decreases aldosterone
Where does aldosterone bind?
principle cells in the collecting duct
What does aldosterone cause?
water and Na+ to be retained
Organs of the upper urinary tract
kidneys and ureters
Organs of the lower urinary tract
bladder and urethra
Pathway from blood to urine
kidneys - afferent arterial - glomerulus (podocytes) - bowman’s capsule - proximal collecting duct - descending loop of henle - Loop of henle - ascending loop of henle - distal convoluted tubule - collecting duct - renal pelvis - ureter - bladder - urethra
Proximal tubule - Reabsorption
Na, K, Cl, H2O, HCO3, Glucose, Amino Acids
Proximal tubule - secretion
creatine, antibiotics, diuretics, uric acid
Descending limb of LOH - reabsorption
H2O
Ascending limb of LOH - reabsorption
Na, K, Mg, Ca, Cl
Distal convoluted tubule - reabsorption
Na, Cl, Ca, H2O
Distal convoluted tubule - secretion
K, H, Urea
Collecting duct - reabsorption
H2O
Proximal tubule - diuretics
carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, osmotic diuretics
descending LOH - diuretics
osmotic diuretics
ascending LOH - diuretics
loop diuretics
distal convoluted tubule - diuretics
thiazide/thiazide like, osmotic
