Exam 3 Flashcards
(50 cards)
hypervolemia
Plasma volume above normal
hypovolemia
Plasma volume below normal
normovolemia
Normal plasma level
Plasma volume is directly related to ?
blood pressure
1 increases the other
Osmotic equilibrium
- No net force for water to leave cells or enter them
- volumes of intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid do not change
Urea
-waste product generated by the liver
Aquaporins
water channels or pores
Aquaporin-3
present in basolateral membrane of principle cells at all time
Aquaporins-2
present in the principle cells in the apical membrane only in presence of ADH
hypernatremia
increase in plasma sodium levels to greater than normal
-accompanied by water retention and incision bp
hyponatremia
decrease in plasma sodium levels to greater than normal
-associated with low plasma volume and hypotension
What two hormones regulate sodium reabsorption
aldosterone
atrial natriuretic peptide
aldosterone
a steroid hormone released from the adrenal cortex that regulates both the reabsorption of sodium and the secretion of potassium
renin
- Secreted from granular cells in the afferent arteriole
- A proteolytic enzyme
what does renin do
acts on angiotensin I
-interacts with ACE to century to angiotensin II
angiotensin II
- vasoconstrictor
- stimulates aldosterone release
- acts in hypothalamus
- stimulates ADH
where is aldosterone released
adrenal cortex
Hyperkalemia
increase in plasma protein
Hyperkalemia symptoms
Cardiac arrhythmias, muscle weakness and cramps
Dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea
hypokalemia
decrease in plasma protein
hypokalemia
Cardiac arrhythmias, muscle weakness and tenderness
Hypotension, confusion, alkalosis, and shortness of breath
how does aldosterone regulate potassium secretion
increases the number of Na+/K+ pumps on the basolateral membrane in principal cells lining the late distal tubules and collecting ducts
Hypercalcemia
increase in plasma calcium
hypercalcemia symptoms
Muscle weakness and atrophy, lethargy, behavioral changes, hypertension, constipation, nausea
