Nutrition Final Exam Flashcards
(47 cards)
water recommendation
1-1.5 L/1000 calories
Extracellular
fluid in blood vessels
interstitial fluid
Intracellular
fluid in the cells
water loss- 500mL/day
dehydration
water output exceed input due to an inadequate intake or excessive losses
Outside the cell
Na and Cl
inside the cell
potassium, Mg, phosphate and sulfate
osmosis
movement of water across the membrane
kidney
maintains water balance
direction from hypothalamus
thirst
conscious desire to drink
RAAS
renin, angiotensin, aldosterone system
RAAS process
- hypothalamus tells pituitary gland to release ADH
stimulates kidneys to absorb more H2O - Renin is released from Kidneys
absorbs Na and H2O
hydrolyzes angiotensinogen - angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1
constricts blood vessels
releases aldosterone from adrenal glands and pituitary gland - Aldosterone retains Na levels and excrete potassium to constrict blood vessels
Minerals
wate and acid-base balance
mettaloenzymes
enzyme with a mineral component
sodium
nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction
UL-2300 mg
hypertension
high sodium intake caused
Normal blood pressure
120/80 systolic/diastolic
potassium
fluid balance and lower blood sugar
dash diet
high fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds
processed foods
higher in sodium
unprocessed foods
higher in potassium
calcium
most abundant mineral in body
Blood Ca stays in balance in expense to bone Ca
muscle contraction
osteoclast
breaks down bone
osteoblast
building up bone
rise in blood calcium
calcitonin A
