25
Which barrier is more permeable, the capillary membrane or the cell membrane?
The capillary membrane
26
What is the exception to capillary membranes being fairly permeable?
Capillaries in the brain
27
Does the capillary membrane in the cardiovascular system block electrolytes?
Not really. Electrolytes are allowed to move across the barrier pretty freely.
28
What would be the consequences of having a condition that destroys the barrier between the plasma and the interstitial fluid?
We would lose all sorts of volume from the cardiovascular system, making it very difficult to manage blood pressure.
29
What is a "steady state"?
When the concentrations of the ICF and ECF are at their normal. (not equal, but at homeostasis)
30
How is "steady state" different from equilibrium?
steady state refers to when the body is in homeostasis. Equilibrium refers to when two compartments are balanced equally. (our temperature can be in a steady state at 37c but would not be in equilibrium with the room temperature of 20c)
31
Why are electrolytes concentrations pretty similar between the plasma and the interstitial fluid?
Because the capillary membrane is fairly permeable so electrolytes are being passed back and forth.
32
What is the main difference on the chart of osmolar substances between the cardiovascular system and the interstitial space?
The proteins. Proteins are too big to pass through the fairly porous wall of the capillaries and therefore stay inside of the plasma.
33
What is the normal number for blood sodium concentration?
140-142mOsm/L
34
What is the normal concentration of ICF sodium?
10% of the ECF concentration. ~14
35
What is the ratio of ICF sodium and ECF sodium?
1:10
36
How do you solve for the corrected osmolarity for the ECF?
Double the sodium. 280-283
37
Is sodium higher inside or outside of the cell?
Outside. Blood is salty.
38
What is the normal potassium concentration in the blood?
4mEq/L
39
Potassium found inside of the cell is how much higher than the ECF?
30-35X higher. ~120mEq/L
40
Why is high amounts of potassium in the ECF bad?
Potassium hurts surrounding cells *Think potassium burns in an IV
41
What is the ratio of ECF to ICF of potassium?
1:30-35
42
Where is calcium concentrations highest? ICF of ECF?
ECF
43
How is calcium used in the ECF?
It turns cells on
44
Where is magnesium found in higher concentrations? ECF or ICF? Why?
ICF. Mag is used as a cofactor for many of the chemical reactions that are required inside of the cell.
45
Chloride follows which cation?
Sodium
46
What is the primary anion in the ECF?
chloride
47
what is the primary cation in the ECF?
Sodium
48
What is the secondary anion in the ECF?
Bicarb
49
Where are bicarb levels managed?
the kidney
50
what is the primary ECF buffer?
Bicarb
51
Where is bicarb concentrated higher?
ECF
52
What is phosphates simpleist role?
It's used as an ICF buffer
53
Where is phosphate found in higher concentrations?
ICF
54
What does it mean to phosphorylate?
To add a phosphate
55
What does phosphorylation or dephosphorylation do in muscle cells?
It changes the energy level of controlled pathways. It turns them on and off
56
What is our primary energy currency within a cell?
ATP
57
What does ATP stand for?
adenosine triphosphate
58
How do we add energy to ADP?
by adding a phosphate
59
How is energy expended in ATP?
By pulling off a phosphate
60
How can phosphate be used as an energy storage system?
phosphate is bound to Adenosine and stored until energy is needed, then the phosphate is pulled off and energy is created.
61
Where are amino acid concentrations higher?
ICF
62
Where are amino acids built and broken down?
inside the cell
63
Where is creatine typically found?
inside of skeletal muscles
64
How does creatine give us a short term energy reserve?
A phosphate attaches to a creatine to create a phosphocreatine and energy is stored. When energy is needed, the phosphate is pulled off of the creatine to create energy.
65
What is a metabolic byproduct found within the cells?
lactate
66
Why is ATP found inside of the cells?
It is very valuable and used inside of the cells
67
Why does adenosine cross into the ECF after the phosphate is pulled off of ATP?
ATP is broken down when a lot of energy is being expended. When it is just adenosine, it crosses into the ECF to increase blood flow, and therefore perfuse that active tissue and take care of the metabolic requirement for that tissue to do its task.
68
Cells are reliant upon glucose being ______ to the cell.
delivered
69
Because cells don't produce glucose, glucose concentrations are going to be higher in the _______
ECF
70
How do you calculate the total mOsm/L?
Draw a sample of fluid and run the concentrations then add all of the dissolved compounds.
71
What is the normal total mOsm/L?
~300
72
Why is the corrected osmolar activity different than the total mOsm/L?
Because charged compounds attract and become a different compound. i.e. sodium and chloride become NaCl
73
What is the normal range for a corrected osmolar activity?
280-283mOsm/L
74
Why is osmolarity roughly the same concentration between the ICF and ECF?
Because water is not usually inhibited from crossing both the cell membrane and the capillary membrane.
75
What is the total osmotic pressure at 37c in mmhg?
~5,400mmhg
76
What is a glycocalyx?
A group of glycoproteins and glycolipids together.
77
Where does cholesterol hang out?
In the cell wall.
78
Why is too much cholesterol stored in the cell wall a bad thing?
It makes the cell walls rigid
79
Delete
Me
80
What are the tails on a phospholipid made of?
carbons and hydrogens
81
What are the heads of the phospholipids made of?
phosphate
82
What are cholesterol's descriptors?
Flat Rigid Lipid Soluble Decrease membrane fluidity at 37c (body) increase membrane fluidity at <37c (icecream)
83
Is cholesterol charged?
No, except for the OH group that sticks out of the cell wall like a handle.
84
Where is most of our protein found?
in the ICF
85
Carbo- or Carboxy- means
carbohydrate (a type of starch/sugar)
