Q

How do kidneys produce dilute urine or concentrated urine

A

Kidneys can excrete excess fluids producing dilute urine

Q

What happens to your osmolarity when you are dehydrated?

A

Your osmolarity has a high concentration of solutes so your blood becomes thick

Q

Where is ADH produced and stored

21
Q

What does ADH stimulate?

What does an increase in ADH cause The hypothalamus to do

A

It stimulates the movement of H2O from the DCT and collecting duct into the blood. An increase of blood volume increases blood pressure

If the hypothalamus detects increased blood pressure, it decreases the production of ADH so no fluids are retained from the renal tubules into the blood

22
Q

What is the release of ADH stimulated by?

A

High blood osmolarity meaning lots of solute and very little H2O

23
Q

What electrolyte makes up the majority of cations in the extracellular fluid?

24
Q

What are sodium levels controlled by?

A

Adh
Anp
Aldosterone

25
Define hyponatremia
Low sodium in the blood
26
Define hypernatremia
High sodium in the blood
27
What is the most common anion in the ECF?
Chloride
28
What is chloride used to make?
Hydrochloric acid or stomach acid
29
What processes affect CL levels?
Adh Anp Aldosterone
30
What electrolyte is abundant in the ICF?
Potassium
31
What is potassium required for
Muscle contraction Blood clotting Nerve impulses. (Conduction)
32
What do potassium cells do to maintain BP?
Exchange the movement of hydrogen H+ for potassium K+
33
What is hyperkalemia?
High potassium levels
34
What does the body do to compensate for hyperkalemia?
The body releases aldosterone The collecting duct. Secretes potassium Which is excreted by the kidneys Which can cause v-fib meaning a heart attack
35
What is hypokalemia
Low potassium levels
36
What does the body do when you have hypokalemia
It decreases the production of aldosterone The kidneys reabsorb potassium Blood volume and blood pressure increase
37
Is bicarbonate or hco3 found in the ICF or the ECF?
Ecf
38
What does bicarbonate buffer
It buffers blood to maintain the pH range And controls the release of CO2
39
Is calcium or ca2 found in the ECF or the ICF?
The ECF
40
Where is 98% of your calcium stored
Your skeleton and teeth
41
What is hypocalcemia and what three things does it stimulate?
It is low calcium It stimulates the release of parathyroid hormone or pth Which stimulates osteoclasts? Which remove the calcium in your bones through resorption? It stimulates the release of calcium from the renal tubules back into the blood through reabsorption It increases the production of calcitriol. (The active form of vitamin d) Needed for absorption
42
What is a blood pH range
7.35 to 7.45
43
What can help fix a person who has an irregular pH due to a metabolic (renal) problem?
Hyperventilation or hypoventilation can help restore pH through respiratory compensation
44
What can help a person that has an irregular pH due to respiratory causes
Secretion of h/ Reabsorption of hco3 in the renal tubule may help restore pH also called renal compensation
45
What are the signs that someone is having respiratory acidosis and what renal compensation occurs to help with this?
Signs CO2 is high in arterial blood The person is not exhaling enough CO2 Carbonic acid is forming Blood pH is dropping below. 7.35 Renal compensation occurs when the kidneys increase the excretion of h and the reabsorption of hco3
46
What are the causes of respiratory acidosis? What are the goals? And what are the treatments?
Causes can include muscle disorder, emphysema, pulmonary edema, and brain damage Goal would be to exhale more CO2 Treatment includes ventilation therapy or iv of hco3
47
What are the signs and goals of respiratory alkalosis
Signs include low CO2 and blood results and too little carbonic and low PH Goal would be to increase blood levels of CO2
48
What is the renal compensation of respiratory alkalosis? The causes And the treatments
Renal compensation would include kidneys decrease excretion of age to decrease pH making the blood more acidic Causes include anxiety, high altitude, stroke or pulmonary disease Treatment would include breathing into a paper bag
49
What are the signs and causes of metabolic acidosis?
Low levels of hco3 in the blood meaning you have no buffer Causes include loss of hco3 due to diarrhea or kidneys Ketosis meaning excessive lipolysis forms. Ketone bodies Failure to excrete h
50
What is the treatment for metabolic acidosis?
If not too severe. Hyperventilation which is respiratory compensation Meaning short breasts to remove CO2 Or an IV hco3?
51
What are the signs and causes of metabolic alkalosis
Signs include high levels of hco3 in blood Causes include excessive intake of alkaline drugs for example Tums Excessive vomiting for a loss of HCL Dehydration Hormone disorders
52
What is the renal compensation and treatment of metabolic alkalosis?
Renal compensation is hypoventilation Treatment is IV of electrolytes
