Question

Falling systemic blood pressure causes reduced filtrate volume or solute content to be detected in the renal tubules and by hypothalamic osmoreceptors. to correct this, various hormones target parts of the nephron to affect reabsorption of water and electrolytes. fill in the blanks below to describe characteristics of the hormones involved.

Answer 1

The question is missing some details. Nevertheless, here are the answers.


1. Renin: created by juxtaglomerular cells.

2. Renin: goes to Angiotensin II formation in the blood.

3. Angiotensin II: leads to vasoconstriction in systemic arterioles to grow peripheral resistance.

4. Aldosterone: concealed by adrenal cortex in reply to Angiotensin II.

5. Angiotensin II: rouses posterior pituitary to discharge Antidiuretic hormone.

6. Aldosterone: aims kidney tubules to surge sodium reabsorption.

7. Antidiuretic hormone: aims kidney collecting ducts to rise water reabsorption.

8. Antidiuretic hormone: released in reply to decreased osmolality in the hypothalamus.
