Question | Answer | Link |
Which hormone is excreted by the juxtaglomerular cells in response to a fall in blood pressure? | Renin | Link |
What does ACE do? | Converts angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2 | Link |
Which receptors does angiotensin 2 act on to cause the release of aldosterone? |
AT1 |
Link |
How does angiotensin 2 effect GFR? |
Contracts the efferent arteriole to increase GFR when blood pressure drops |
Link |
What three things stimulate the release of aldosterone? |
|
Link |
What are its effects on sodium? | Increases the reabsorption of sodium from the distal tubule and collecting duct | Link |
How does it achieve these effects? | Increases the synthesis of sodium transporters and increases the supply of ATP to them by altering gene transcription | Link |
Where is atrial natriutretic peptide secreted from? | Atrial walls | Link |
Whats it's effect? | Increases the excretion of water by reducing the reuptake of sodium. | Link |
