6 Questions
What is the primary mechanism by which the kidneys regulate arterial blood pressure (ABP)?
By regulating plasma volume and extracellular fluid (ECF) volume
What is the primary mechanism by which a decrease in ABP leads to an increase in ABP?
Decreased atrial mechanoreceptor discharge, leading to increased aldosterone and ADH secretion, resulting in salt and water retention
What is the primary mechanism by which angiotensin II increases ABP?
All of the above mechanisms contribute to increasing ABP
What is the role of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in regulating ABP?
ANP promotes sodium excretion by the kidneys, decreasing ECF volume and ABP
What is the primary mechanism by which an increase in ABP leads to a decrease in ABP?
Increased atrial mechanoreceptor discharge, leading to increased ANP secretion and sodium excretion
What is the primary trigger for the renin-angiotensin system to increase ABP?
Renal ischemia
Explore the role of the kidney in regulating Arterial Blood Pressure (ABP) through the slow mechanism involving the regulation of plasma volume and extracellular fluid (ECF) volume. Learn about the importance of this mechanism in maintaining ABP, along with the mechanisms involved in increasing ABP when it decreases.
