Q

where are granular juxtaglomerular cells located

Study These Flashcards
A
  • located in media of the afferent arteriole
20
Q

stimulation of renin release

Study These Flashcards
A
  • decreased effective circulating volume
  • stimulation of baroreceptors/decrease Cl- in tubule at macula densa
  • increased sympathetic tone
  • renin release into systemic circulation
21
Q

high pressure baroreceptors

Study These Flashcards
A
  • carotid sinus
  • aortic arch
  • afferent arteriole
22
Q

low pressure baroreceptors

Study These Flashcards
A
  • central veins

- atria

23
Q

angiotensinogen is produced by

24
Q

angiotensin I

Study These Flashcards
A
  • inactive decapeptide

- precursor for angiotensin II

25
angiotensin II
- octapeptide | - derived from angiotensin I
26
angiotensin II derived from angiotensin I after
- cleavage of C-terminal peptide by ACE
27
what is the key active product of RAAS
- angiotensin II
28
most effects of angiotensin II on the vascular and transport functions are mediated by _____
- AT1 receptors
29
role of angiotensin II binding to AT1 receptors
- aldosterone release from zone glomerulosa of adrenal gland
30
physiologic effects of angiotensin II
- arteriolar vasoconstriction | - sodium and water retention
31
ACE is found on
- endothelial cells | - lungs and kidneys
32
role of ACE
- catalyzes angiotensin I (inactive) to angiotensin II | - converts bradykinin to inactive metabolites
33
drugs that block ACE are important in treatment of
- hypertension | - heart failure
34
ACE inhibitor extracted from
- venom in 1960s
35
what is the rate limiting step
- JGA secretion of renin | - to convert angiotensinogen to angiotensin I
36
result of arteriolar constriction
- increase peripheral resistance | - increase systemic arterial pressure
37
result of increased renal Na+ retention and increased extracellular fluid
- increased cardiac output
38
negative feedback of increasing systemic arterial pressure
- increase renal perfusion pressure - decrease baroreceptor sensitivity - decrease renal sympathetic activity - decrease secretion of renin
39
negative feedback of increasing ECF
- increase GFR and decrease proximal resorption of NaCl - change in NaCl at macula densa - decrease secretion of renin
40
most people with primary hypertension have ____
- increased renin levels
41
low renin hypertension good response to
- diuretics | - calcium channel blockers
42
renin and aldosterone levels in chronic kidney disease
- increased renin | - increased aldosterone
43
renin and aldosterone levels in renal artery stenosis
- increased renin | - increased aldosterone
44
renin and aldosterone levels in primary aldosteronism
- decreased renin | - increased aldosterone
45
RAAS in congestive heart failure
- decreased CO and PVR - decreased EABV ->activation of RAAS - increased renal sodium retention - increased venous pressure - edema builds up in peripheries and lungs
