Q

When parasympathetic firing decreases as part of the baroreflex, what are the physiologic results?

A

decreases parasympathetic firing to the SA node, which is normally inhibitory, disinhibits firing and increases the heart rate

Q

How much of the extracellular body water is in the plasma fraction?

21
Q

How have we determine the distribution of total body water?

Study These Flashcards
A

by injecting a substance that has a known distribution in the fractions, taking a sample of body fluid, and using C=m/V to determine the volume

22
Q

What is the most approximate way to estimate total body water?

Study These Flashcards
A

TBW = 60% of body weight

23
Q

What is the most accurate way to estimate total body water?

Study These Flashcards
A

TBW = 72% of lean body mass = 72% of (body weight - fat weight)

24
Q

How does total body water change with age?

Study These Flashcards
A

infants have more body water and have a different ratio than adults

25
Where is sodium concentration high in total body water?
plasma and interstitial
26
Where is potassium concentration high in total body water?
in the intracellular fraction
27
Where is calcium concentration higher in total body water?
~ 2.5 in plasma and interstitial, 0 in intracellular
28
Describe protein concentration in the different fractions of total body water?
highest in intracellular (4), lowest in interstitial (0.2), plasma in the middle (1.2)
29
Total concentration of solutes in the three fractions of total body water are all approximately what?
290-305 mOsm
30
What is osmotic pressure?
the hydrostatic pressure that prevents water movement from a pure water phase into a solute phase
31
At normal body temp, the relationship between osmotic pressure and solute concentration is roughly what?
20 mmHg per mOsm solute difference
32
What is the basis for oncotic pressure?
the difference in protein concentration between the interstitial and plasma fractions and that protein is impermeant
33
Oncotic pressure provides the force needed for what?
re-absorption of water
34
What happens to capillary pressure across a capillary?
resistance increases due to narrowing of the blood vessel and so flow declines and pressure decreases
35
At a capillary, which is greater, the filtration volume or the reabsorption volume?
the filtration volume
36
What happens to the the fluid that is filtered at a capillary but isn't reabsorbed into the venous system?
it is taken up into the lymphatic system to be returned to the vascular system
37
What might cause the interstitial pressure to be abnormally high and limit the force for filtration?
damage to the lymphatic system that results in fluid remaining in the interstitium
38
What might cause the interstitial oncotic pressure to increase?
an inflammatory response that increases vascular permeability and permits protein to leave the vessels and enter the interstitium
39
In the first half of a capillary, net filtration occurs because what is greater than what?
capillary pressure is greater than oncotic pressure
40
In the second half of a capillary, net absorbtion occurs because what is greater than what?
oncotic pressure is greater than capillary pressure
41
How is oncotic pressure that drives water into cells counteracted?
by a Na/K pump that changes the solute concentration gradient
42
What is tonicity?
the property defined by how the volume of a cell changes when the cell is placed in a solution
43
How does the rate of water movement compare to the rate of permeant solute movement across a semipermeable barrier?
water moves much faster than any solute
44
What happens to a RBC placed in an iso-osmotic but hypotonic solution of a permeant solute like urea?
it will swell until it lyses
45
What happens to a RBC placed in a hyperosmotic but hypotonic solution of permeant solute like urea?
the cell will initially shrink as water rapidly leave the cell but will then swell and burst as urea moves into the cell and water follows
46
What happens to a RBC placed in a hyperosmotic but isotonic solution?
the cell will initially shrink and then return to its original size
47
IV saline is ___osmotic and ____tonic.
isoosmotic and isotonic
48
Because saline is isoosmotic and isotonic, it will have what effects on the various body fluid fractions?
it will increase extracellular volume and not change the intracellular volume
49
5% dextrose will have what effects on the various body fluid fractions?
it will increase both the extracellular and intracellular volumes
