25
Water loss is countered by _____.
water gain
26
Water gain occurs with the _____ and ____.
digestive tract (ingested foods and liquids), metabolic water
27
Water manufactured through metabolic processes:
metabolic water
28
Water is gained through what metabolic process:
cellular respiration
29
Water gained from the food we eat is called:
preformed water
30
To prevent dehydration the body relies on:
triggering a behavior (such as getting a glass of water or eating food)
31
To activate a behavior it requires a:
reflex
32
Parts of a reflex (for dehydration)
stimulus (dehydration), receptor (detects change), hypothalamus, motor response (behavior)
33
osmoreceptors
detect that fluid levels are low
34
Control center in hypothalamus (for dehydration):
thirst center
35
fluid levels are usually measured in ____ (broad term)
concentration
36
Mass to volume relationship:
concentration
37
When you over or under hydrate you change ____.
the concentration of the fluid
38
What are the ions related to acids and bases:
H+ and OH-
39
Term for a substance which when dissolved into water produces hydrogen ions:
acid
40
Term for any substance which when dissolved into water produces hydroxide ions (OH-):
base
41
When you maintain acid-base balance, you are also maintaining (another term):
pH
42
Normal blood pH:
7.35-7.45
43
blood below 7.35 on pH
acidosis (acid)
44
blood above 7.45 on pH
alkalosis (base)
45
Blood is slightly:
basic
46
What disrupts blood pH?
eating, metabolic wastes
47
Protective features in body to help maintain pH at its optimal level by addition or removal of hydrogen ions:
buffers
48
Two types of buffer systems:
chemical buffer system and physiological buffer system
49
First line of defense against pH shift:
chemical buffer system
50
Second line of defense against pH shift:
physiological buffers
51
Physiological buffers include:
body systems: respiratory and renal
52
Chemical buffers include:
Carbonic acid/bicarbonate buffer system, phosphate buffer system, protein buffer system, hemoglobin buffer system
53
Primary ECF buffer:
carbonic acid: bicarbonate buffer system
54
Primary ICF buffer:
protein buffer system
55
Primary buffer in blood:
hemoglobin buffer system (carbonic acid: bicarbonate system)
56
Important urinary buffer (kidneys and cytoplasm of body cells)
phosphate buffer system
57
(2nd line of defense) Lungs maintain pH by:
exhalation (must be volatile acid)
58
Volatile acid goes from:
liquid to gas instantaneously
59
Examples of volatile acid:
alcohol, acetic acid (diabetic in ketoacidosis), acetone (made in liver)
60
If lungs can't get rid of acid they get rid of more ____ as a substitute:
CO2 = acid
61
By increasing respiration you get rid of more _____.
CO2
62
3rd line of pH control (and main pH controlling organism):
kidneys (renal regulation)
63
Kidneys remove acid through ____ and generate _____to neutralize acid (H+):
urine; bicarbonate ions
64
Main pH control is regulated by:
kidneys/renal regulation
