Q

How h2o levels in body influence thirst cycle

A

Water leaving body as exhaled air, sweat or urine trigger thirst response. Decrease in plasma volume ^ plasma osmolarity stimulates thirst center( hypothalamus)

16
Q

main fluid in the body

17
Q

Plasma Osmolality

A

Measures the bodys electrolyte-water balance Hypothalamus maintains
prod by the pituitary gland

18
Q

Respiratory systems effects on blood PH

A

When the ph of the blood decreases the concentration of hydrogen ions in the blood increase

19
Q

most powerful buffer system in the body

A

Protein buffer system- control hgb in rbc, albumin-blood plasma

20
Q

blood PH compensation sx of Respiratory origin

A

lungs can: elimination of carbonic acid by removing carbon dioxide
SOB occurs due to hyperventilation
**metabolic acid ^ **to drove off co2 readjust bicarbonate Metabolic acidosis ^

21
Q

BLD PH compensation of Renal origin

A

Prominent acid-base regulatory organ* Kidneys can rid the body of metabolic acids preventing Met Acidosis

22
Q

dihydroxy vit D

A

**active Vit D Req by intestinal epithelial cells for absorption of Calcium

23
Q

Diuresis

A

**excess **prod of urine

24
Q

intracellular fluid ICF

A

inside cells, principle component of cytoplasm 60%TW in human body

25
extracellular fluid ECF
1/3 **t.w. of body 20%** **in plasma.** Transports bld cells, protein(clotting) electrolytes, nutrients, gases, waste. **External cerebral** **spinal fluid**, **pericardial fluid, eye water**
26
interstitial fluid
fluid in sm spaces **between cells**
27
hydrostatic pressure
pressure **exerted by fluid** against a wall caused by its own weight or pumping force
28
fluid compartment
**fluid inside cells of body **= compartment system. Segregated from other systems
