hypoventilation - increases co2 in blood - decreases pH = acidossis
supressed ventialtion due to breainstem dysfunction
Blcoked air passages in lungs
Decreased gas exxhange in alveoli
renal and respiratory compensation - probkem due to imoaired ventilation is fixed and PH s is restored as Co2 is expired (lungs)
RENAL: HCO3- reabsorbed int blood, increased h+ secreiton in urine, kidneys producenew HCO3-
-
114
What is metabloc acidsosis caused by?
How is it compensated fir?
Caused by too much H+ in blood or loss of Hco3- due to metablosm (ketoacidsis), diarrhea (loss of HCo3-, kidney failure, ingestion of acidic drugss or poison
comepensated by respiratory - hyepventialtion to reduce H+
Renal - if kidneys functioning properly - increased reabsorption of HCO3- back into blood and secretion of H+
115
What is respriatory vs metabolic acidosis?
respiratory is caused by increased Co2 in blood leading to decrease in PH and is to do with supressed ventialtion and breathing mechanisms like blcoked air passages, decreased gas excahnge

Renal. -excrete more HCo3- into urine and reabsorb more H+ back into blood
117
What is Metabolic alkalosis? How do the renal and respiratory systems compensate?
increased pH in blood due to loss of H+ or too much HCO3-
Respiratory - hypoventilation ot restore Co2 and icnrase H+ (decrease)

urine

explain oogensis from puberty to menopause
1) once a month immature oocytes within individual follicles stimulated to develop
2) 1 oocyte continues to meiosis - released during ovulation
3a) either fertilized by sperm and matures into ovum (egg) chromosomes combine and cell division
3b) not fertalized and oocyte shed during menstruation
134
where is the oocyte matured?
within a follicle
135
what are the 3 main phases of the ovarian cycle? 28 day.
1) follicular
2) ovulation
3) luteal
136
What days is the follcicular, oculation and luteal phaseof the ovarian cycle?
Follicular. = day 1-13
ovulation = day 14
luteal = 15-28
137
what happens in follicular phase?
follcile grows and develops with oocyte inside
138
what happens during ovulation?
folllicle ruptures and releases maturing ooocyte and it is swept into the fallopian tube for journey into the uterus
139
what happens during luteal phase
left over ruptured follicle becomes the corpus luteum
the corpus lute secretes progesteron
- If pregnancy occurs. - corpus luteum stays for 3 months to produce progesterone
IF NO preganancy - corpus luteum degenerates in 10 days
140
during the luteal phase what happens to the leftover ruptured follicle?
corpus luteum
141
what is the corpus luteum and what does it secrete?
it is what the ruptured follicle becomes in the luteal phase and secretes progesterone
142
What does the LH do in the ovarian cycle?

143
whhat does FSH stimulate during ovarian cycle?
conversion of androgens to estrogen and secretion of inhibin from follicle cells
144
what do follicle cells secrete?
inhibin
145
what do estrogens stimulate?
dominant follicle to mature, relay positive feedback to ant / pit to produce LH and FSH release which triggers ovulation
146
what triggers ovulation? what happens after/how is it inhibited?
Estrogen relays positive feedback to ant pit - LH and FSH released - trigger ovulation. INhibited when inhibin and estrogens relay negative feedback to hypothalmaus and ant. pit
147
During fertalization extended progesterone release from corpus luteum does what?
What about during NO fertaliztion?
continues to inhibit GnRH, LH, FSH release
No fertilization = corpus luteum degenerates - estrogen and progesterone levels drop - cycle starts again
148

151
what happens to FSH and LH during menstrual phase? what happens to endmoetrium?
it begins to rise at day 1 - old layer is shed
152
what happens to FSH and LH during proliferative phase? what happens to layer?
it peaks at day 14 - estrogen levels rise
new layer develops and thickens
153
What happens to lining during secretory phase ? to hormones?
lining maintained to accomodate protential of fertilized egg
Progesterone rises, estrogen decreases and Lh and FSH are inhbiited
154

155
what else does estrogen do?
Stimulate development of secondary sex characteristics
* External genitalia, breasts, fat accumulation around hips and thighs, pubic and axillary hair, increased
secretions of sebaceous glands
* Bone and skeletal muscle mass development (less potent than testosterone)
* Estrogens also exert a protective effect on the body
inhibit bone resorption (by inhibiting osteoclasts)
increased HDL level and decreased LDL level
general protective effect on the cardiovascular system
