baroreceptors monitor osmolarity of filtrate-absorb(H2O,Na++,HCO3)-secrete -low osmolarity(urea,K+,H+,some drugs)
Renin angiotensin system
renin released from kidneys due to low pressure-acts on angiotensin-produces angiotensinI.then converted in lungs to angio II by ACE-takes 20 mins
Visceral pain
inflammation,distention,ischemia-transmits pain signals from veseral afferent nerve fibers back to spinal cord-DIFFUSE,DULL or CRAMPY,tachu,n/v, diaphoresis
