Questions and Answers

What is the primary mechanism by which the kidneys regulate arterial blood pressure (ABP)?

  • By releasing atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) to induce sodium excretion
  • By modulating the renin-angiotensin system to control vasoconstriction
  • By secreting aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) to control sodium and water retention
  • By regulating plasma volume and extracellular fluid (ECF) volume (correct)
  • What is the primary mechanism by which a decrease in ABP leads to an increase in ABP?

  • Decreased ANP secretion, leading to decreased sodium excretion and increased ECF volume
  • Increased renin release, leading to angiotensin II formation and subsequent vasoconstriction and salt and water retention
  • Increased atrial mechanoreceptor discharge, leading to increased aldosterone and ADH secretion, resulting in salt and water retention
  • Decreased atrial mechanoreceptor discharge, leading to increased aldosterone and ADH secretion, resulting in salt and water retention (correct)
  • What is the primary mechanism by which angiotensin II increases ABP?

  • By inducing vasoconstriction of arterioles, increasing peripheral resistance
  • By inducing vasoconstriction of veins, increasing venous return to the heart
  • By promoting salt and water retention, increasing ECF volume and venous return
  • All of the above mechanisms contribute to increasing ABP (correct)
  • What is the role of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in regulating ABP?
