25
what is a pH
measure H+ ions in solution - acidic or basic
26
what is the plasma (ECF) pH range
7.34-7.45
27
alkalosis means what to the blood
not enough acids -pH is more than 7.45
28
how is blood acidity increased
- bi product of cell metabolism - decrease ventilation
29
How can you increase acidity through losing base
diarrhoea
30
how is blood acidity decreases by
- vomiting - medications and diuretics - hyperventilation
31
what happens if pH goes outside range 7.35-7.45
proteins don't work properly e.g. can die
32
what are the two ways of managing pH range
buffering and removing acid
33
what are the 3 systems that work together to control pH of body
1. buffering 2. respiratory 3. renal
34
The para-cellular route of solute transport
Mechanism of transport Between epithelial cells
35
ADH is an important regulator of
Renal water reabsorption
36
Bicarbonate is important because it
Acts as a physiological pH buffer
37
In the nephron the proximal part of the tubule site of what
Site of bulk reabsorption
38
increase in ____ means that their will be more sodium absorbed in the distal tubule which leads to an _____ in blood pressure
Aldosterone, increase
39
what is the site of glucose and amino acid reabsorption
proximal tubule
40
Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) is released by which gland of the endocrine
Posterior pituitary
41
what is filtration
substances like glucose and water move through the blood in to the glomerulus "sieve" and into the nephron tubule
42
what is secretion
removal of the waste products from the blood in the nephron tubule and end up in the urine
43
what two things makes things move
driving force (energy, gradient) permeability (through/between or channel)
44
what does the glomerular filtration rate indicate
how well kidneys function
45
what are aquaporins
water channels
46
T/F aquaporins has to move through cells ( transcellular)
true
47
how much does the proximal tubule need to reabsorb of water and ions and all of the nutrients that are filtered back into the blood stream
90-99%
48
proximal nephrone reabsorbs how much water, sodium and nutrients
90% water, 90% Na, 100% nutrients
49
what type of gradient does sodium have
strong electrochemical gradient - moving down (high to low - high sodium outside of cell, low inside)
50
T/ F ADH is a slow hormonal regulation
false - fast = because blood osmolarity is an emergency of goes out of range
51
T/F aldosterone is a fast response
false - slow = less urgent
52
if you are overhydration with means that
hypo-osmotic - ECF has less solutes than ICF - cell swells - decrease blood osmolarity - water moves into cells
53
if you are dehydrated this means
hyperosmotic - ECF has more solutes than ICF - increase blood osmolarity - water moves out of cells - cells shrinks
54
what does hyponatremia mean
under sodium - overhydrated
55
if you have low ADH you are dehydrated (T/F)
false - well hydrated
56
what hormone is released if you are dehydrated
ADH
57
how does the body correct loss of body volume (water and salt)
renin aldosterone
58
what is pH of ECF normal ranges
7.35 -7.45
59
how is blood acidity increased
gaining acid - Bi product of cell metabolism - decrease ventilation losing base - diarrhoea
60
how is blood acidity decreased
losing scid - vomiting - medication - hyperventialtion
61
T/F a buffer is a substance that minimises changes in blood pH when H+ concentration is altered
true
62
how a buffer works T/F when H+ concentration increases in blood HCO splits from H+ molecules to increase change in blood pH
false HCO bonds to H+ to minimses change
63
how do the lungs remove acid - metabolic acidosis
carbonic acid breaks down to become CO2 and H2) - CO2 can then be exhaled out at the lungs - reduced acid load back to normal correcting metabolic acidosis
64
how do the kidneys remove acid - metabolic acidosis
carbonic acid breaks down to become H+ and HCO3- - H+ is secreted into kidney tubules to be excreted out in urine - HCO3 reabsorbed back into blood
65
lungs keep acid by reducting ventialtion (breath hold) to cause the build up of ( during alkalosis correction)
carbon dioxide
