BNP
9
Has similar physiological actions as ANP
 
BNP
10
Acts to increase the concentration of Calcium in the blood
 
PTH
11
Secreted by the Parathyroid glands
 
PTH
12
Produced in humans primarily by the parafollicular cells (C-cells) of the thyroid
 
Calcitonin
13
Counteracts PTH. Acts to reduce blood calcium, opposing the effects of PTH
 
Calcitonin
14
Increased Plasma osmolarity, decreased saliva and dry mouth send message to Hypothalamic thirst...
 
Thirst Mechanism
15
Secreted from posterior pituitary.
 
ADH
16
Triggered by fever, sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, blood loss and traumatic burns
 
ADH
17
Binds to receptors on cells in the collecting ducts and promotes reabsorption of water back...
 
ADH
18
Stimulates uptake of K+ into body cells
 
Aldosterone
19
May act on the CNS via the posterior pituitary gland to release vassopressin (ADH)
 
Aldosterone
20
A Powerful vasodialator
 
ANP
21
Increases blood flow through the vasa recta
 
ANP
22
Enhances active resorption of Ca++ & Mg++ from the distal tubules & the thick ascending...
 
PTH
23
Inhibits Ca++ absorption by the intestines
 
Calcitonin
