Question
Chapter 17, Problem 11bCP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The renin secretion regulation by changing the blood volume and the regulation of the blood volume by this secretion.
Introduction:
The excretory system helps in the removal of toxins from the body as well as maintains the electrolyte balance. Fluid balance in the body is also maintained by the renal system. There are various measures by which the renal system regulates the blood volume and concentration of electrolytes in the blood. Renin secretion is the function of the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidneys.

If someone loses a great deal of blood for any reason, how will this affect the secretion of renin and what will happen in response?
Mr. Gregory comes to the doctor with high blood pressure.
Tests show that he also has elevated levels of renin in his blood and atherosclerotic plaques that have nearly blocked blood flow through his renal arteries.
Mr. Gregory is puzzled. Explain to him how decreased blood flow in his renal arteries could cause.
renin secretion to increase. Map the pathways through which elevated renin causes high blood pressure for Mr. Gregory.

As soon as class is over, you decide to hit the snack area. You see your favorite candy bar in one of the snack machines and you cannot resist. Your blood glucose level before eating this snack is 90 mg/ 100 ml (normal). As you digest and then absorb the sugar in the candy, the level of glucose in your blood increases to 120 mg/ 100 ml. The increased level of glucose is detected by receptors on pancreatic beta cells. These receptors send a signal into the beta cells, informing them of the excessive glucose in the blood. The pancreatic beta cells release insulin. The insulin travels through the blood and stimulates the liver and body cells. The liver and body cells remove the extra glucose from the blood, reducing your blood glucose back to its original level of 90 mg/ 100 ml. At this point, release of insulin stops'' 1.
