1. Activation of low pressure receptor
reflexes inhibit sympathetic nerve activity
Increase Sodium Intake to the kidneys to decrease tubular sodium
reabsorption.
decreased renin & Angiotensin II 2. Small increases in arterial pressure raise
sodium excretion through pressure
decreased tubular reabsorption of sodium natriuresis.
3. Suppression of Angiotensin II formation
increase excretion of sodium & water decrease tubular sodium reabsorption
4. Stimulation of Natriuretic Systems ANP
decreased extracellular fluid & arterial pressure cause further increase in sodium excretion.

6. Strenuous exercise REGULATION OF RENAL PHOSPHATE EXCRETION
Phosphate excretion by the kidneys is controlled
Overview of Renal Potassium Excretion: primarily by an overflow mechanism:
Potassium excretion is determined by the sum of three When less phosphate is present, essentially all the
processes: filtered phosphate is reabsorbed, when more, the excess
1. Rate of potassium filtration is excreted.
2. Rate of potassium reabsorption PTH plays a significant role in regulating phosphate
3. Rate of potassium secretion by the tubules concentration thru 2 effects:
65% of filtered potassium is reabsorbed in the proximal 1. PTH promotes bone resorption, dumping large
tubule amounts of phosphate ions in the extracellular fluid
25-30% of the filtered potassium is reabsorbed in the 2. PTH decreases the transport maximum for
Loop of Henle phosphate by the renal tubules, greater proportion is
The most important sites for regulating potassium lost in urine.
excretion are the distal tubules and cortical collecting
tubules, where potassium can be either reabsorbed or
secreted, depending on the needs of the body.

2. Passive diffusion of potassium from the interior of The primary site of reabsorption is the loop of Henle

Primary Factors that control Potassium secretion by the 1. Increased extracellular fluid magnesium
Principal Cells: concentration
1. Activity of the Na-K ATPase pump 2. Extracellular volume expansion
2. Electrochemical gradient for potassium secretion 3. Increased extracellular fluid calcium concentration
from the blood to the tubular lumen
3. Permeability of the luminal membrane for potassium
Intercalated cells can reabsorb potassium during
potassium depletion thru the hydrogen-potassium
ATPase transport mechanism located in the luminal
membrane. This transporter reabsorbs potassium in
exchange for hydrogen ion necessary during potassium
depletion but plays a small role during normal conditions.
The most important factors that stimulate potassium
secretion by the principal cells:
1. Increased extracellular fluid potassium concentration
2. Increased aldosterone
3. Increased tubular flow rate
