Q

25
What plays a role when osmolarity is low?
aldosterone
26
When you have low sodium and low water you will stimulate
baroreceptors
27
elevated blood pressure signals a _______ in vasoconstriction afferent arteriole and an ________ in the GFR and in urine production
decrease, increase
28
When the baroreceptors are stimulated what will happen?
decrease in blood volume and blood pressure
29
high blood pressure will increase
GFR
30
Atrial Natriuretic Factor
This is the only hormone so far that works opposite the rest. In response to elevated blood pressure the right atrium releases ANF. ANF will decrease Na+ and water reabsorption, causing an increase in urine production
31
if you had an increase in ADH, Renin, aldosterone and angio II what would that stimulate?
more water reabsorption and decrease urine production
32
when Atrial Natriuretic Factor gets elevated your urine output will
increase urine production
33
the major thing that stimulates aldosterone is
high extracellular potassium
34
high extracellular potassium is not common unless you have
trauma or blood loss to the cells
35
when there is blood loss your body will want to make less
urine
36
filtration is from the blood into the
nephron
37
reabsorbtion is from the nephron
back into the blood
38
secretion is from the blood
direction into the nephron skipping the glomerulus.
39
female sex hormones are steroid hormones and they come from
cholesterol
40
some of the female hormones can act like aldosterone and cause
water reabsorbtion
41
glucocorticoids may exhibit aldosterone affects and cause you to
retain water
42
The major hormone regulating potassium is
aldosterone
43
the big regulator of calcium is
parathyroid hormone
44
parathyroid hormone is secreted at the parathyroid gland in response to
low extracellular calcium
45
parathyroid hormone does a couple of things to increase blood calcium levels
absorb more calcium and break down bone to release the calcium and kidneys will reabsorb calcium back into the blood and increase phosphate secretion.
46
acid
noun - will increase the concentration of free hydrogen in a solution
47
base
will decrease the concentration of free hydrogen in a solution.
48
PH is a measure of the
concentration of free floating hydrogen
49
The PH scale is from
0-14
50
as you increase the concentration of hydrogen ions you will have a
lower PH
51
As you decrease the concentration of hydrogen ions you will have a
higher PH
52
An acid will _________ the amount of free hydrogen
increase
53
A base will _______ the amount of free hydrogen
remove
54
acidic and basic are
Adjectives
55
acidic means that the PH is
less than 7
56
Basic means that the PH is
greater than 7
57
nuetral means that the PH is
equal to 7
58
buffer resists changes in PH
True
59
A buffer tries to keep the PH
constant
60
Our blood Ph is between
7.35 and 7.45
61
alkalosis
if your blood PH is greater than 7.45
62
acidosis
if your blood PH is less than 7.35
63
3 major ways that we keep the PH constant
chemical
64
chemical buffer system
Consist of a weak acid and base working together to maintain blood pH. These chemicals act very rapidly to help maintain pH.
65
if you have a strong acid or base
it will completely disassociate into it's ions in a solution
66
if you have a weak acid or base
It does not disassociate completely
67
weak acids and bases can be buffer systems
True
68
carbonate acid is a _______ acid
weak acid which means it does not fully disassociate in solution
69
bicarbonate is a _________ base
weak.
70
together carbonic acid and bicarbonate can work together to maintain
the concentration of free hydrogen.
71
There are three major chemical buffers, what are they?
Bicarbonate Buffer System, Phosphate buffer system and protein buffer system
72
bicarbonate is in the
extracellular fluid
73
Phosphate buffer system is
inracellular and urine
74
The most important chemical buffer systems are
protein buffer systems
75
75% of all buffering comes from
proteins
76
Every single protein in your body can be a
buffer. it can either take up a hydrogen or lose a hydrogen.
77
protein buffers work within seconds to keep our
PH constant
78
phsiological buffer system includes the
respiratory and urinary
79
Respiratory System Regulation of Hydrogen Ion Concentration
The respiratory works rapidly, but not as fast as the chemical buffer systems. An increase in respiratory rate will raise blood pH. Of course this is because the enzyme carbonic anhydrase is available to convert CO2 and H2O to H2CO3 which breaks down to H+ and HCO3-
80
If you were to increase respiratory rate you will have
Less co2
81
if you have less co2 the equation, CO2 and H2O to H2CO3 which breaks down to H+ and HCO3-, will go to the left which means there will be
less free hydrogen and an increase in PH
82
If you have low respiratory rate (hold your breath)
You will have an increase in C02, more free hydrogen and your PH will go down.
83
protein buffer takes seconds, respiratory buffer takes minutes, urinary buffer takes days but it
fine tunes the PH
84
There are three major buffering systems in the kidneys, what are they?
bicarbonate, phosphate and ammonia
85
3 buffer systems
respiratory, renal and protein
86
respiratory acidosis stems from
a problem with the respiratory system and hence the respiratory system can not help to compensate for the problem.)
87
respiratory acidosis
is caused by retaining co2 (hyperventilating or decreased gas exchange)
88
if you had respiratory acidosis how would your body fix it?
kidneys and the chemical buffer systems.
89
metabolic acidosis
Caused by ingesting too much alcohol, excessive loss of HCO3-(bicarbonate) by diarrhea, or accumulation of lactic acid. The respiratory system can immediately compensate by increasing respiratory rate to eliminate CO2 and increase blood pH
90
in metabolic acidosis we would expect the person to have an ____ in respiratory rate
increase
91
if you had sever vomiting you'd have metabolic alcolosis or low free hydrogen and a high PH, the respiratory system would respond by _________ respiratory rate so you can retain Co2
decreasing
92
The _______ is very sensitive to PH changes
Central Nervous System
