Q

Newborn

A
vulnerable to significant changes in homeostasis due to immaturity of the :
immune system
renal function
endocrine system
thermoregulation

Don’t possess all the necessary antibodies, lymphacytes, memory cells, muscle bulk, subcutaneous fat.

Q

Ageing

A

Degeneration over regeneration
less responsive to hormones

Q

increase blood calcium levels

A

Low calcium plasma levels

decteded by parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH)

PTH:
Bone response- osteoclasts stimulation to breakdowm stored calcium ions from bone to blood
Intestinal response- rate of of intestinal absorption increases
Kidney reponse- retain calcium ions- calcium conserved decrease calcium loss in urine

Q

decrease blood calcium levels

A

High calcium plasma levels
Parafollicular cells in the throyoid glands secrete calcitonin
calcitoin:
Bone response- osteoclasts inhibition, osteoblasts build bone calcium is stored in bone matrix
Intestinal Response- rate of of intestinal absorption decreases- calcium absorbed slowly
Kidney response- allow calcium loss- excrection- increase calcium in urine

Q

Osteoporosis

A

insufficent calcium intake- hypercalcaemia- stimulating PTH release and osteoclast activity
sex hormones deficiency- increase osteoclast activity
vitamin C deficiency- reduced calcitirol activity- absorbs calcium from digestive tract
Inactivity- bone remodelling increasing osteoclast activity
Smoking-tobacco toxin to osteoblast
Illness- endocrine disorders, medication

Q

neural regulation to reduce BP

A

Increase in BP
Baroreceptor stimulated
cardioaccelerotary centres inhibited and cardioinhibitory centres stimulated decreasing cardiac output
vasomotor centres inhibited vasodilation occurs
BP decreases

17
Q

neural regulation to increase BP

A

Decrease in BP
Baroreceptor inhibited
cardioaccelerotary centres stimulated and cardioinhibitory centres inhibited increasing cardiac output
vasomotor centres stimulated vasoconstriction occurs
BP increases

18
Q

Hormonal Regulation to decrease Bp

A

high bp detected in right atrium artrial natriuetic peptide released from right atrium

  • increase in sodium and water content of urine and reduced thirst to decrease blood volume
  • blockage of hormone that increase blood pressure
  • vasodilation

Blood pressure decreases

19
Q

Hormonal Regulation to increase Bp

A

Renin release leads to anglotens in II activation

  • antidiuretic hormone which increases cardio output, vasoconstriction and blood volume
  • aldesterone secretion which increase blood volume
  • thirst stimulation and increased sodium reabsorption-increases blood volume

Erythropoletin releases increases RBC formation increasing blood volume

Blood pressure increases

20
Q

Why do older people have a slower reaction to change in blood pressure?

A
impaired baroreceptor
impaired renin release
decreased vessel compliance
impaired neural control- loss of neurones and neurotransmittors
tendancy of volume depletion
decreased thirst mechanism 
decreased renal capacity
21
Q

Symptons of low blood pressure

A
Dizziness
fainting 
lack of concentration
blurred vision
nausea
fatigue
cold and clammy skin
rapid shallow breathing
22

Weightbearing exercises to prevent osteoporosis and immobility
Prevention of fractures 
Ensure adequate hydration
Quality of life measures
Strength/ROM
Patient and Family Education
