Vasoconstriction (blood vessels)
- ↑BP
Action
1) Osmoreceptors detect ↑ osmotic press , Baroreceptors detect ↓BP
2) Send signal to hypothalamic neuron in posterior pituitary
3) -> blood vessels - vasocontriction
& ->kidney - ↑h20 reab
4) ↑blood vol & ↑BP

Sensing BP - Baroreceptors
 Baroreceptors in carotid sinus & aortic arch
 Carotid- sense ↑ & ↓ BP
 Aortic- only sense ↑BP
 Nerve signal -> hypothalamus to ↑/↓ ADH release

ADH in hypothalamus & pituitary
 Synthesised in cell body of neurosecretory cells - hypothalamus
 Stored in secretory vesicles - posterior pituitary
 Osmoreceptor & neurostimuli ↑ ADH secretion

Sensing Osmolality- Osmoreceptors in hypothalamus
• Changes in osmotic pressure of interstitial fluid causes cell body to swell/shrink - osmoreceptors
• Cell shrinking stim ADH release
• Cell swelling blocks ADH release

cAMP sign intergrates sign from
- Afferent arteriole barorec (JGC)
- Systemic baro (sympathetic tone)- catecholamines (adrenaline)
- Tubular flow (paracrine signals) from macula densa (adenosine)
At threshold value renin released

Angiotensin II- Multiple Effects on BP

Mech 1- ↑ symp tone
1) Direct cardiovascular
□ ↑ heart rate
□ Constricts arterioles -↑ resistance & BP
□ ↓ venous capacitance - ↓elasticity
- ↑venous return
- ↑blood flow- more blood per pump
- ↑resistance & BP
2) Neuroendocrine
□ Catecholamines (e

RENIN-ANGIOTENSINOGEN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM SUMMARY
• Renin released in response to low blood and glomerular pressure
(afferent arteriole press, by baroreceptors -> symp response, low
tubular press nacl)
• Renin sets off proteolytic cascade -> angiotensin II & aldosterone
signalling
• Results in ↑ symp tone, ↑ na reab (and II & aldo), vasocontriction & ADH
