What does the proximal convoluted tube do?

Reabsorbs nutrient ions/secretes wastes Signup and view all the answers

What hormones are associated with DCT?

Aldosterone - reabsorbs Na+, secretes K+, PTH - reabsorbs Ca2+ Signup and view all the answers

What does the collecting duct do?

Presence of ADH that reabsorbs H2O, urea recycling and reabsorb/secretion of ions Signup and view all the answers

What is the renin-angiotensin pathway?

Release of renin, that causes the formation of angiotensin II, which stimulates the release of aldosterone, ultimately increasing BP Signup and view all the answers

What is the aldosterone pathway?

Release of aldosterone from adrenal glands, increases reabsorption of Na+ in DCT, increasing H2O reabsorption, ultimately leading to blood pressure increase Signup and view all the answers

What is the ADH pathway?

Release of ADH from the pituitary gland, leading to increase in H2O reabsorption, increasing blood pressure (can lead to vasoconstriction) Signup and view all the answers

What is the ANP pathway?

Antagonistic to aldosterone, increased secretion of Na+/H2O, lowering blood pressure (risk of vasodilation) Signup and view all the answers

What is the role of the proximal tubules?

Glucose, bicarbonate ion and H2O reabsorption Signup and view all the answers
