Acid and Base Regulation- Almalouf Flashcards
H+ concentration is ____ across all body fluid compartments
the same
lungs excrete what
volatile acid
kidneys excrete what
fixed acid
most important ECF buffer
HCO3-
set point of pH
7.4
site of H+ secretion and HCO3- reabsorption
kidneys
site of CO2 exchange
lungs
acid body can get rid of easily
volatile
acids that kidneys have to eliminate
non-volatile
source of volatile acids
products of carb and fat metabolism
sources of non-volatile acids and bases
diet
our body has net production of acid or base
acid
western diet is _____-residue
acid
vegan diet is ____-residue
alkali
unifying mechanism of renal acid-base handling
H+ secretion
3 main functions of renal acid-base handling
- reclaim HCO3-
- excrete excess H+
- generate new HCO3-
where is HCO3- reabsorbed (reclaims HCO3-, no new HCO3- is made)
PCT
3 main transporters of PCT
lumen side: Na+/H+
blood side: Na+/K+ ATPase; Na+/HCO3-
3 main ways H+ can be excreted:
- free H+ ion
- phosphate anion
- ammonium
where H+ is put into lumen and body has phosphate ion to catch it
alpha intercalated cells of collecting duct
site where new HCO3- is formed and reabsorbed
alpha-intercalated cells of collecting duct
what hormone helps secrete H+ in exchange for K+ at alpha interacalated cells
aldosterone
NH4+ produced by what part of kidney
PCT
takes up NH4+ at Na+/K+/2Cl- and puts it in interstitium
Thick ascending limb
