Q

Arterial pressure controls?

A

Renal-body fluid system

2
Q

In the renal-body fluid system, increased ECF will cause?

A

Arterial pressure to rise

3
Q

Renal-body fluid system, in response to kidneys will?

A

Excrete excess ECF

4
Q

The degree of shift of the renal output curve for water and salt is known as?

A

Determinants of long term arterial pressure

5
Q

Increased total peripheral resistance will not create a long term elevation of of BP if?

6
Q

In the kidney, afferent arterioles supply the glomerular capillaries where?

A

Filtration takes place

7
Q

Efferent arterioles drain the glomerular capillaries which give rise to peritubular capillaries where?

Reabsorption takes place

8
Q

Specialized peritubular capillaries associated with juxtamedullary nephron’s is called?

A

Vasa Recti

9
Q

When the ECF levels rise, the arterial pressure?

A

Rises

10
Q

The kidneys excrete more fluid, thus bringing the pressure?

A

Back to normal

11
Q

Acute renal output curves have the effect of?

A

Arterial pressure alone

12
Q

Chronic renal output curves have the effect of arterial pressure plus?

A
SNS +
Renin-angiotensin system
Aldosterone
ADH
ANP
13
Q

What hormones decrease renal blood flow?

A

Norepinephrine
Epinephrine
Angiotensin II

14
Q

What hormones increase renal blood flow?

A

Prostaglandins E and I

15
Q

What monitors NaCl in the macula densa of the distal tubule?

A

Tubuloglomerular Feedback

16
Q

Decreased NaCl in the macula densa will cause renin to be released from?

A

Juxtaglomerular Cells

17
Q

Increased renin will increase angiotensin II levels which will increase?

A

Efferent Arteriole resistance

18
Q

Decrease NaCl in the macula densa also causes?

A

Dilation of afferent arteriole

19
Q

The renin-angiotension-aldosterone system provides the source of?

A

Renin

20
Q

What synthesizes, stores and releases renin?

A

Smooth muscle cells in afferent arterioles

21
Q

Renin is stimulated by?

A

Decreased perfusion pressure
SNS
Decreased NaCl to macula densa (distal tubule)
Hormonal Stimulation

22
Q

What hormones stimulate renin?

A

Thyroid Hormone

Growth Hormone

23
Q

Renin is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of?

A

Angiotensin I (10 AA) from Angiotensinogen (liver)

24
Q

What occurs primarily in the lung via angiotensin converting enzyme associated with pulmonary endothelium?

A

Angiotensin 1 –> Angiotensin II

25
Q

What are the functions of angiotensin II?

A

Stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone
Stimulates release of ADH/Vasopressin
Stimulates kidney

26
Q

The net effect of the functions of angiotensin II is?

A

decrease Na+ and H2O which increase BP

27
Q

Angiotensin II will also stimulate thirst/drinking behavior at the level of the?

A

Hypothalamus

28
Q

When you tie off one renal artery you can develop?

A

Systemic Hypertension

29
Q

Systemic hypertension elevates?

A

Renin and Angiotensin II

30

When you tie off one renal artery you don’t develop?

A

Uremia

31
Q

When you tie off one renal artery and remove kidney you don’t develop?

A

Hypertension or Uremia

32
Q

When you tie off one renal artery and remove both kidney’s you develop both?

A

Hypertension and Uremia

33
Q

Hypertension generated by tying off a renal artery is called?

A

Goldbaltt Hypertensive Model

34
Q

In one kidney variety, what is initially high?

A

Renin

35
