Last time: Introduction to endocrine system and the case study of Diabetes High Low b insulin a glucagon What you should understand from today: How a cascade of hormonal processes lead to a large (whole body) response How the anterior and posterior pituitary communicate with their targets How feedback mechanisms operate in hormonal control The posterior pituitary Hypothalamus Neurosecretory cells of the hypothalamus Hypothalamic hormones Posterior pituitary Blood vessels Hormone Target Response ADH Oxytocin Kidney nephrons Mammary glands, uterine muscles Aquaporins Contraction during activated; H2O labor; ejection of reabsorbed milk during nursing Why might inhibiting ADH lead to lower blood pressure? ACTH Hypoth Ant. Pit/ Gland Targets Actions Feedback TSH FSH Life Aquatic: some simple definitions Osmolarity (Osmol/L or OsM) = molarity of A x number of particles A dissociates into + molarity of B x number of particles B dissociates into + molarity of C x number of particles C dissociates into + … Osmolarity of a 1 M glucose solution? 0.5 M NaCl solution? 0.5 M albumin solution? Osmotic pressure (π) =RTiM R = universal gas constant =0.08206 L · atm · mol-1 · K-1; T in K; M = molarity NaCl i = 1 1 mM NaCl solution -> 2 mOsM -> 1 mEq Na+ and 1 mEq Cl1 mM CaCl2 solution -> 2 mOsM -> 2 mEq Ca++ and 2 mEq Cl- How do they eliminate the salt?

Absence of ADH leads to reduced aquaporin numbers (endocytosis). Alcohol inhibits ADH -- Problems of hypertension (high blood pressure) National blood pressure statistics Determinants of blood pressure: PA – PV = CO * Resistance (R) CO = Heart Rate (HR) x Stroke Volume (SV) Increase SV via increased sympathetic activation of ventricular muscle Greater blood volume leads to higher pressure Blood volume is determined by renal function Pressure sensors lie in the major vessels serving cranial circulation 1 Juxtaglomerular apparatus: involved in controlling filtration rate and blood pressure via NaCl sensing and pressure sensing cells. 7 Local regulation via the tuboglomerular feedback loop. 2 6 Systemic regulation via reninangiotensin feedback loop. 8 3 4 5 Juxtaglomerular apparatus Granular cells: Release renin in response to reduced pressure Macula densa: High NaCl -> stretch activated channels lead to release of paracrine vasopressor (vasoconstrictor). Low NaCl induce renin release Glomerulus DCT KEY: RENIN RELEASE WITH LOW PRESSURE Renin leads to vasoconstriction via a cascade of hormone signals. LUNGS Angiotensinogen renal Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Angiotensin I Angiotensin II Vasoconstriction Renin If you had high blood pressure would you use an ACE inhibitor or an ACE activator? Explain Angiotensin II acts on many targets 1.Thirst centers of brain 2.Decreases baroreceptor reflex (renin release with low P) 3.Increases ADH release (ADH release also stimulated by thirst) 4.Smooth muscles contraction around arterioles 5.Sympathetic NS activity 6.Aldosterone release from the adrenal gland Retain more Na and retain more water. Reduced Pressure: Renin and ACE leads to vasoconstriction via a cascade of hormone signals.
