BCOP and CHP oppose each other. In the example CPH is higher so will get net filtration = lose water/fluid

...

Total Filtration pressure = 55-15-30 = 10 mmHg. If BP increases and nothing else changes, GFR will Increase ie 65-15-30 = 20

...

Vasoconstriction of the afferent arteriole increases resistance and decreases renal blood flow, capillary blood pressure, and GFR

...

= amount of filtrate formed in all the renal corpuscles of both kidneys each minute

Glomerular filtration rate = GFR - More protein, more water will tend to enter and thus oppose GFR more. More proteins = increases COP - If I decrease the amount of proteins, less water would move into cell and GFR would be increased.

Glomerular Filtration - Angiotensin II - potent vasoconstrictor Atrial natriuretic peptide - stretching of atria causes release

Hormonal regulation

= Blood pressure "Pushes" water and solutes out of capillaries and into interstitial fluid

Hydrostatic Pressure

Describe respiratory compensation for metabolic acidosis.

Hyperventilate: H+ + HCO3- ↔ CO2 + H2O and the CO2 can be exhaled

Describe respiratory compensation for metabolic alkalosis.

Hypoventilate: Keep CO2: CO2 + H2O ↔ H+ + HCO3-. The H+ will help to bring pH back down to normal. The HCO3- will be used in bicarbonate sink

: are located between the cells of the capillary endothelium and the podocytes - Modified smooth muscle cells - Connected to cells of afferent arteriole via gap junctions

= afferent arteriole = "see" blood pressure Blood pressure in glomerular capillaries - Tends to push water and solute molecules out of plasma and into the filtrate

Glomerular Hydrostatic pressure

= 55 mmHg Is blood pressure in glomerular capillaries = Favours GFR = pushes fluid and molecules out of blood

Glomerular Hydrostatic pressure (blood pressure)

Control of the GFR / Autoregulation - macula densa provides feedback to glomerulus, inhibits release of NO causing afferent arterioles to constrict and decreasing GFR

Tubuloglomerular mechanism

Regulation of GFR - If BP ^

smooth muscle in vascular wall of afferent arteriole is stretched = these are mechanoreceptors stretch sensitive ion channels open muscle depolarizes muscle contracts > vasoconstriction > decrease in flow > decrease in hydraulic pressure > return of GFR to normal

Is the osmotic pressure resulting from the presence of suspended proteins Tends to draw water out of filtrate and into plasma

Colloid osmotic pressure

- Medulla of lymph nodes - - More mature

- B cells, antibody producing plasma cells from cortex, and macrophages - T cells migrate here from cortex

Secretion of renin is controlled in three ways

- Baroreceptors in juxtaglomerular cells release renin in response to low BP. Juxtaglomoruler cells are in contact with afferent arteriole - Sympathetic neurons in the cardiovascular control center of the medulla oblongata trigger renin secretion in response to low BP - Macula densa cells in the distal tubule respond to decreases in flow by releasing a paracrine signal that induces juxtaglomerular cells to release renin. The parocrine signal in NO = hydrophobic ***study***

: maintain blood flow to brain : monitor start of systemic circuit = just outside heart : monitors end of systemic circuit

- Carotid sinuses - Aortic sinuses - Right atrium

: increases resistance Phosphorylate myosin via myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). Also need calmodulin and calcium ions When calcium is high in the cell, the smooth muscle ___________. More calcium more ___________.

- Contraction = vasoconstriction - contracts - constriction

Increased Cyclic GMP induces smooth muscle relaxation by:

- Inhibits calcium entry into the cell and decreases intracellular calcium concentrations - Activates K+ channels, more K+ out = cell more negative = which leads to hyperpolarization and relaxation - Stimulates a cGMP-dependent protein kinase that activates myosin light chain phosphatase, the enzyme that dephosphorylates myosin light chains, which leads to smooth muscle relaxation. Taking away phosphate deactivates protein = myosin

- Physical Barriers - Phagocytes - Immunological Surveillance - Interferons - Complement (C) Proteins - Inflammation - Fever

- Keep hazardous materials outside the body - Attack and remove dangerous microorganisms - Constantly monitors normal tissues - proteins made and released by lymphocytes - Complement the action of antibodies - Triggers a complex inflammatory response - A high body temperature

Where do we find Lymphoid Nodules?

- Lymph nodes - Spleen - Tonsils = lymphoid nodules in the walls of pharynx - Along digestive and urinary tracts

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)

- Produced by cells in right atrium - Produced by ventricular muscle cells

- recovers useful materials from filtrate = occurs via Diffusion Osmosis Channel-mediated diffusion Carrier-mediated transport - ejects waste products, toxins and other undesirable solutes

- Reabsorption - Secretion

Lymphatic vessels differ from blood capillaries in four ways

- Start as pockets rather than tubes - Have larger diameters - Have thinner walls - Flat or irregular in section

-In a normal kidney, which of the following would increase GFR? Chose all that apply. You should understand the why when answering. A. Constriction of afferent arteriole? B. Decrease in hydrostatic pressure: C) Constriction of efferent arteriole? D) Increase in colloid osmotic pressure?

- This would decrease GFR - This would decrease GFR = reflects BP - This would increase GFR - This would decrease GFR because more water would enter blood vessel and thus this would oppose GFR more

Lungs - regulated by O2 levels in alveoli High O2 content Low O2 content

- Vessels dilate - Vessels constrict Purpose of lungs is to take up O2. So if O2 is high --- vasodilate to take in more. If O2 low - vasoconstrict because lungs don't need to work as 'hard.' The constriction leads to redistribution of blood flow to better-ventilated areas of the lung, which increases the total area involved in gaseous exchange.

C) causes the kidneys to produce a larger volume of very dilute urine. D) is secreted by the anterior pituitary. E) release is insensitive to the osmolarity of interstitial fluid.

A) increases the permeability of the collecting ducts to water.

_____ controls whether dilute or concentrated urine is formed Absent or low _____ = dilute urine Higher levels = more concentrated urine through increased water reabsorption Mammals have a loop of Henle = allows to concentrate urine ie keep more water

ADH Even though your fluid intake can be highly variable, total fluid volume in your body remains stable Depends in large part on the kidneys to regulate the rate of water loss in urine

"Pulls" water and solutes into a capillary from interstitial fluid

Colloid Osmotic Pressure Hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressure oppose each other and whichever is higher will win

A peptide hormone (antidiuretic hormone - ADH) produced in the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland Increases water reabsorption by the collecting duct by increasing the number of aquaporins Release: increasing plasma osmolarity detected by osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus Inhibition: increasing blood pressure detected by stretch receptors in the atria and baroreceptors in the carotid and aortic bodies .Has a 2nd messanger system (cAMP)

Accomplished by altering the hydrostatic pressure gradient across glomerulus

= decrease in pH, increase in H+.

Acidosis

= blood vessel going to Glomerulus = structure where filtration happens = blood vessel leaving Glomerulus

Afferent arteriole Efferent arteriole

Why would a decrease in albumin increase GFR?

Albumin is a plasma protein. It contributes to the colloid osmotic pressure (COP). If there is less protein, the COP is decreased = less water will enter. COP opposes filtration ie GFR and thus if this pressure is less, GFR is increased.

A steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex. Hydrophobic Targets cells in the distal tubule and collecting ducts Stimulates Na+ reabsorption (and secondarily water recovery from the urine)

Aldosterone

= increase in pH, decrease in H+

Alkalosis

Lymphatic Capillaries : Endothelial cells loosely bound together with overlap → Overlap acts as one-way valve =

Allows fluids, solutes, viruses and bacteria to enter but prevents return to intercellular space

= Released when blood pressure is decreased Stimulates: Aldosterone production = keep Na+ ADH production = keep water Thirst = drink water Cardiac output = increase Q Peripheral vasoconstriction = increase R Net effect BP will go back up to normal Recall BP = Q*R

Angiotensin II

Autoregulation

Control of the GFR - = will automatically adjust Maintains GFR despite changes in local blood pressure and blood flow How? The change in resistance occurs in the afferent arterioles.

Autoregulation (local level)

Two autoregulatory mechanisms maintain normal GFR. Describe how each of them can increase or decrease GFR:

Autoregulation is done at the afferent arteriole and ensures that GFR does NOT change even when BP has increased. Myogenic mechanism = Myo = muscle. The smooth muscle would automatically constrict back to normal after being stretched (due to mechanoreceptors). Constriction is due to an increase in Ca2+, Ca2+ binds to troponin C etc etc. Tubuloglomerular feedback = Macula densa will sense the increase in pressure. Here the release of NO is inhibited. NO is a potent vasodilator. By inhibiting it, the blood vessel will constrict back to normal

Mesangial cells - complex cells

Glomerular Filtration - = released when BP high = stretch heart (Atria and Ventricles more) Are released by the heart in response to stretching walls due to increased blood volume or pressure

Natriuretic Peptides Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is released by atria Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is released by ventricles → Elevates glomerular pressures and increases GFR = lose more fluid/water → Lower blood pressure and plasma volume Also: Reduce thirst, Block release of ADH and aldosterone, Cause diuresis = pee more

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are used to treat high blood pressure. Explain why these drugs are helpful to treat high blood pressure. Hint: Renin-Angiotensin system and actions.

No ACE means no Angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor. It also will be released to increase BP back to normal. ANG II does this by stimulating release of ADH (keep water), Aldosterone (keep Na+ and water follows), making us feel thirsty (drink water) and increasing R via constriction (BP = Q*R and thus BP increases). So if we inhibit the release of ANGII, we will prevent or minimize any of its actions and thus reduce BP ☺
