When the afferent arteriole dilates, the juxtaglomerular cells, which wrap around the afferent arteriole, are stimulated and release renin into the blood. - Renin combines with angiotensinogen (made in the liver) to form angiotensin I. - Angiotensin I goes to the lung, through an ACE converting enzyme, it turns into Angiotensin II: THE MOST POWERFUL VASOCONSTRICTER KNOWN TO HUMANKIND. - Angiotensin II will have its greatest effect on the efferent arteriole, causing vasoconstriction. Thus we open up the artery coming into the glomerulus and close off the artery leaving the glomerulus to increase pressure mechanically. **The Hormonal effects of blood-fluid volume control:** - Angiotensin II will go to the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone, which affects the distal convoluted tubules, saving sodium and excreting potassium. - When sodium levels rise in the blood, they are picked up by the supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus, which causes the release of ADH/Vasopressin - ADH will have its greatest effect on the collecting ducts, which are normally impermeable to water, making them permeable to water - As the water leaks out, it is picked up by the oncotic pressure of the peritubular capillaries and return to the blood. The water then dilutes the sodium concentration, shutting off ADH ![](media/image4.jpeg) **Urine Production** - In the absence of ADH, we will make urine. The fluid in the collecting ducts will leave by way of the papilla and enter the renal pyramid. - It will go through the minor calyx to the major calyx, passing through an opening called the renal sinus, into the renal pelvis. - Fluid will leave the renal pyramids via the ureter and into the posterior bladder, which is anterior to the psoas major. - It will leave the bladder by the way of the urethra, and in the males the urethra, and in the males the urethra is broken up into 4 segments. - 1^st^ segment = Periprostatic urethra before it enters the prostate - 2^nd^ segment = Prostatic urethra as it passed through the prostate - 3^rd^ segment = membranous urethra as it passes through the urogenital diaphragm which is in the deep perineal pouch - 4^th^ segment = spongy urethra AKA penile urethra as it passes through the corpus spongiosum of the penis - Pathology: - Epispadias = when the penile urethra comes out on the top of the penis - Hypospadias = when the penile urethra comes out on the bottom of the penis - Starts at the crux of the penis. - Erection = Parasympathetic - Ejaculation = Sympathetic - Muscle that voids the bladder = Detrusor Aldosterone ADH ------------------------ -------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- What triggers release?

R& L lobes are separated by the falciform ligament. Round ligament (Ligamentum teres) = free border of falciform ligament. Round ligament = remnant of umbilical vein. 2. Triangular ligaments attach liver to diaphragm superior/lateral 3. Coronary ligament attaches the majority of the liver to the diaphragm **Posterior lobes:** R& L, Caudate (can't be palpated) & quadrate **Ducts:** R+ L Hepatic duct Common hepatic duct. Cystic duct from GB+ common hepatic common bile duct. Common bite duct + pancreatic duct (duct of Wirsung) = ampulla vater. Empties into 2^nd^ part of duodenum at the summit of the major duodena papilla (sphincter of oddi). Liver \| Functions, Diseases & Treatments \| Britannica **[Edema:]** 4 possibilities 1. Increased venous pressure = increase hydrostatic pressure. E.g. left heart failure pitting edema 2. Decrease protein in blood = decreased oncotic/osmotic pressure. Protein (albumin) in blood pulls water out of the interstitial/extracellular fluid. Decrease protein = decrease pull of water (Notes: Kwashiorkor = protein malnutrition vs. Marasmus = complete caloric malnutrition). 3. Myxedema = hypothyroidism 4. Anaphylaxis = Type 1 Hypersensitivity reaction, Histamine release, e.g. eating, allergies, injuries Note: Generalized Edema = Anasarca \*Nephrotic syndrome: "Pre-eclampsia" = "HEP" =Hypertension, Edema, massive proteinurea **[Muscle Anatomy:]** Functional unit of a muscle -- alpha motor neuron + all muscle fibers it innervates. - **Function unit of a muscle fiber = Sarcomere** - Between Z-bands, Z-lines or Z-Discs - **A** Band = "Anionotropic" = light doesn't pass through - Myosin (slight action overlap) - Remains same with contraction - I Band = "Isotropic" = light passes through - Actin only (thin) - Shortens with contraction. - H Band = only myosin, No overlap with actin & shortens with contraction Fascial Coverings (Fascial is made by fibroblasts) - Endomysium -- covering of a muscle fiber - Perimysium -- covering of a muscle fascicle - Epimysium -- covers entire muscle **[Skeletal Muscle contraction & Pathology:]** For a muscle contraction to take place Actin & Myosin must bind. Before contraction: - The actin binding site is hidden by the Tropomyosin portion of Troponin-Tropomyosin complex. - ATP is bound of Myosin - Contraction process: - Calcium from the presynaptic knob is released, which releases ACH (acetylcholine) performed inside the synaptic knob. - ACH is released & crosses the synapses into the muscle, which is then picked up by T-Tubules. ACH goes to the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release intramuscular calcium. - Calcium binds with troponin, freeing up the actin binding sit - Calcium converts ATP to ADP, readying myosin - The heads of the Myosin crossbridge bind to Actin's active site. By conformational/stearic change, the Myosin heads cock in a power stroke allowing actin filaments to slide, causing muscle contraction. ACH breakdown after contraction: - Primary breakdown of ACH = presynaptic uptake - Secondary breakdown of ACH = acetylcholinesterase **[Types of Contractions:]** - Isometric = contraction, no joint movement - Isotonic = contraction + joint movement w/ constant weight - Isokinetic = contraction w/ constant speed and variable resistance **[Muscle Pathology]** - Clostridium botulinum = Botox - Botulism toxin prevents release of AcH form pre-synaptic terminal = no depolarization of muscle = muscle weakness "floppy baby syndrome" (1^st^ sign = diplopia 2^nd^= death) - Myasthenia Gravis - Autoimmune disorder creates antibodies against acH receptors prevents binding of AcH = no depolarization of muscle = muscle weakness Diplopia, jaw weakness & hand weakness - Clostridium Tetanae - Tetanus toxin prevents released of inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA (brain) and Glycine (spine) - No inhibition constant depolarization tetany of muscle **[Smooth Muscle Contraction]** - Actin attaches to dense bodies from one cell to another - Calcium binds with calmodulin - **There is no troponin in smooth muscle** - Joins with Myosin Kinase activates regulatory light chain - Smooth muscle relaxation - Uses Myosin phosphatase/Calcium pump to break contraction Skeletal Muscle Smooth Muscle ---------------------------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Activation Faster Slower Strength Weaker Stronger Energy required to sustain contraction More Less\*: smooth muscle at full contraction required 1/300 energy of skeletal muscle = "latch mechanism Calcium channels Less Involved More involved Sodium More Involved Less involved Relaxation Acetylcholine-esterase Myosin phosphatase & Calcium pump Troponin YES NO Calmodulin NO YES **[Slow Twitch vs. Fast Twitch]** Slow Twitch Fast Twitch ----------------------------- --------------------------- Endurance/steady power Explosive Power Red color due to myoglobin White, lack of myoglobin Aerobic glycolysis Anaerobic glycolysis More mitochondria Less mitochondria Less glycolytic enzymes More glycolytic enzymes Postural muscles, endurance Muscle, Faitgable Fight gravity Fight or Flee (sprint) Marathon Runner Weight lifters, sprinters **[Heat:]** - Conduction = Loss of temperature through contact - Convection = air waves cool object - Radiation = how you normally give off heat - Evaporation = perspiration = "sudomotor activity" **[Sensory Innervation of Muscle Spindles:]** Primary Receptors Secondary Receptors --------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ ---------------------- Endings Annulospiral Flower spray Stimulated by which intrafusal muscle fiber Nuclear chain and/or nuclear bag Nuclear Chain only Response Static response & dynamic response Static response only Note: Gamma motor neuron = cerebellum, intrafusal fibers, set tone of muscle Alpha motor neuron = cortex, extrafusal fibers, for voluntary movement Note: Muscle Spindles = Sensory organ in muscle tissue that monitors stretch of muscle and speed of muscle contraction. **[Diffusion & Transports]** Passive diffusion follows the concentration gradient Facilitated diffusion = uses a carrier protein 1. Voltage gates 2. Ligand gating -- binds a chemical with a protein Primary active transport = requires ATP Secondary active transport = co-transport (sodium) A high sodium concentration gradient will carry molecules (e.g. amino acids & glucose) into the cell **[Transmission of impulses:]** CNS: excitatory = AcH, Nor- / epinephrine, glutamate, dopamine, serotonin Inhibitory = glycine (spine), GABA (brain) PNS: 1.
