  2. Macula densa
  3. Sympathetic nervous system
  4. Parasympathetic nervous system
  5. Cardiovascular system

Question 2

The kidneys respond to which occurrences in the body by releasing renin?
 
  1. Lowered blood pressure; dehydration
  2. Lowered blood pressure; decreased cardiac output

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale 1: Renin is an enzyme that is synthesized, stored, and secreted by specialized cells in the kidney known as juxtaglomerular (JG) cells.
Rationale 2: The macula densa recognizes the slow flow rate (and less sodium) and sends a chemical message to the JG cells to release more renin.
Rationale 3: The activation of the sympathetic nervous system controls the release of renin.
Rationale 4: The parasympathetic nervous system does not control the release of renin.
Rationale 5: The cardiovascular system does not control the release of renin.
Global Rationale: Renin is an enzyme that is synthesized, stored, and secreted by specialized cells in the kidney known as juxtaglomerular (JG) cells. The macula densa recognizes the slow flow rate (and less sodium) and sends a chemical message to the JG cells to release more renin. The activation of the sympathetic nervous system controls the release of renin. The parasympathetic nervous system and the cardiovascular system do not control the release of renin.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Lowered blood pressure causes the kidney to release renin.
Rationale 2: Renin secretion is turned on by loss of blood volume, not by decreased cardiac output.
Rationale 3: Increased blood pressure turns off renin secretion.
Rationale 4: Increased blood pressure turns off renin secretion.
Global Rationale: Lowered blood pressure causes the kidney to release renin. Renin secretion is turned on by loss of blood volume, not by decreased cardiac output. Increased blood pressure turns off renin secretion.

Both answers were spot on, thank you once again




 

Did you know?

Liver spots have nothing whatsoever to do with the liver. They are a type of freckles commonly seen in older adults who have been out in the sun without sufficient sunscreen.

Did you know?

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Did you know?

Studies show that systolic blood pressure can be significantly lowered by taking statins. In fact, the higher the patient's baseline blood pressure, the greater the effect of statins on his or her blood pressure.

Did you know?

Asthma attacks and symptoms usually get started by specific triggers (such as viruses, allergies, gases, and air particles). You should talk to your doctor about these triggers and find ways to avoid or get rid of them.

Did you know?

ACTH levels are normally highest in the early morning (between 6 and 8 A.M.) and lowest in the evening (between 6 and 11 P.M.). Therefore, a doctor who suspects abnormal levels looks for low ACTH in the morning and high ACTH in the evening.
