27
Q

alkalosis means what to the blood

A

not enough acids -pH is more than 7.45

28
Q

how is blood acidity increased

A
  • bi product of cell metabolism
  • decrease ventilation
29
Q

How can you increase acidity through losing base

A

diarrhoea

30
Q

how is blood acidity decreases by

A
  • vomiting
  • medications and diuretics
  • hyperventilation
31
Q

what happens if pH goes outside range 7.35-7.45

A

proteins don’t work properly e.g. can die

32
Q

what are the two ways of managing pH range

A

buffering and removing acid

33
Q

what are the 3 systems that work together to control pH of body

A
  1. buffering
  2. respiratory
  3. renal
34
Q

The para-cellular route of solute transport

A

Mechanism of transport Between epithelial cells

35
Q

ADH is an important regulator of

A

Renal water reabsorption

36
Q

Bicarbonate is important because it

A

Acts as a physiological pH buffer

37
Q

In the nephron the proximal part of the tubule site of what

A

Site of bulk reabsorption

38
Q

increase in ____ means that their will be more sodium absorbed in the distal tubule which leads to an _____ in blood pressure

A

Aldosterone, increase

39
Q

what is the site of glucose and amino acid reabsorption

A

proximal tubule

40
Q

Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) is released by which gland of the endocrine

A

Posterior pituitary

41
Q

what is filtration

A

substances like glucose and water move through the blood in to the glomerulus “sieve” and into the nephron tubule

42
Q

what is secretion

A

removal of the waste products from the blood in the nephron tubule and end up in the urine

43
Q

what two things makes things move

A

driving force (energy, gradient)
permeability (through/between or channel)

44
Q

what does the glomerular filtration rate indicate

A

how well kidneys function

45
Q

what are aquaporins

A

water channels

46
Q

T/F aquaporins has to move through cells ( transcellular)

A

true

47
Q

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

A

90-99%

48
Q

proximal nephrone reabsorbs how much water, sodium and nutrients

A

90% water, 90% Na, 100% nutrients

49
Q

what type of gradient does sodium have

A

strong electrochemical gradient - moving down (high to low - high sodium outside of cell, low inside)

50
Q

T/ F ADH is a slow hormonal regulation

A

false - fast = because blood osmolarity is an emergency of goes out of range

51
Q

T/F aldosterone is a fast response

A

false - slow = less urgent

52
Q

if you are overhydration with means that

A

hypo-osmotic
- ECF has less solutes than ICF
- cell swells
- decrease blood osmolarity
- water moves into cells

53
Q

if you are dehydrated this means

A

hyperosmotic
- ECF has more solutes than ICF
- increase blood osmolarity
- water moves out of cells
- cells shrinks

54
Q

what does hyponatremia mean

A

under sodium - overhydrated

55
Q

if you have low ADH you are dehydrated (T/F)

A

false - well hydrated

56
Q

what hormone is released if you are dehydrated

A

ADH

57
Q

how does the body correct loss of body volume (water and salt)

A

renin
aldosterone

58
Q

what is pH of ECF normal ranges

A

7.35 -7.45

59
Q

how is blood acidity increased

A

gaining acid
- Bi product of cell metabolism
- decrease ventilation

losing base
- diarrhoea

60
Q

how is blood acidity decreased

A

losing scid
- vomiting
- medication
- hyperventialtion

61
Q

T/F a buffer is a substance that minimises changes in blood pH when H+ concentration is altered

A

true

62
Q

how a buffer works
T/F when H+ concentration increases in blood HCO splits from H+ molecules
to increase change in blood pH

A

false
HCO bonds to H+
to minimses change

63
Q

how do the lungs remove acid - metabolic acidosis

A

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
Q

how do the kidneys remove acid - metabolic acidosis

A

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
Q

lungs keep acid by reducting ventialtion (breath hold) to cause the build up of ( during alkalosis correction)

A

carbon dioxide
