Sympathetic stimulation has no effect on afferent and efferent arterioles so that kidney is protected from undergoing ischemia.
b.
Kidney is vulnerable to ischemic injury.
C.
d.
NSAID inhibits production of angiotensin I.

e.
You have read that aldosterone causes sodium ion retention from the kidneys. How would blocking aldosterone secretion decrease the amount of water retained from the fluid in the kidneys?
Vasopressin is a hormone that is mainly released when the body lacks water. The release of vasopressin causes the kidneys to conserve water by concentrating urine and decreasing urine output. However, vasopressin also has additional functions in other tissues such as the brain and blood vessels, which are not directly involved in urine production. How might vasopressin trigger different responses in different tissues?

- Diuretics cause sodium excretion. Sodium follows water. Therefore, diuretics lead to a reduction in volume (remember BP = heart rate x volume x blood vessel tone (SVR)). Since diuretics lower volume, they lower BP. When would diuretics be indicated? When would they be contraindicated?arrow_forward+ 1. Summarize the role of the kidneys in each of the following functions: Adjusting blood volume (and so blood pressure) and the volume of interstitial fluid and lymph Regulating calcium ion levels Stimulating the production of red blood cells (erythropoiesis) Regulating blood pressure Regulating blood glucose levels Adjusting the pH of body fluids Regulating the blood Na* and K levels Regulating blood Cl levels Getting rid of wastes such as urea, ammonia, uric acid, creatinine, urobilin from breakdown of hemoglobin, foreign substances such as drugs and environmental toxinsarrow_forwardDrinking seawater cannot prevent death by dehydration.

- James experienced unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and lowblood pressure. After running several tests, his physicianconcluded that James had Addison disease, which involvesdecreased aldosterone production by the adrenal gland. When aldosterone production falls too low, certain kidney cells are unable totransport Na+ back into the blood.Predict 51) How does Addison disease affect Na+levels in the urine?2) Would you expect James’s urine volume to be higher or lowerthan normal?

- Describe the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system. a. The hormones that compose it. b. What does each hormone do. c. Where are they synthesized and converted. d. What is the stimulus to activate the RAA system.arrow_forwardare both statements correct? Renin converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I, which is then converted to angiotensin II by angiotensin-converting enzyme. Angiotensin II stimulates aldosterone secretion, and aldosterone decreases the rate of Na+ and Cl− reabsorption from the nephron. Atrial natriuretic hormone, secreted from the right atrium in response to decrease in blood pressure, acts on the kidney to decrease Na+ in the urine.arrow_forwardSheep Kidney Please refer to the pic to answer the question Describe the color and textures of the kidney.
