Q

What is the first line of defense against acid-base abnormalities

A

In the ECF, the bicarbonate buffer system

In the ICF, when PCO2 increases, CO2 moves into the cell and combines to make H2CO3.

Q

What is the second line of defense for acid base balance

A

Respiratory center.

Blood PCO2 and pH are important regulators of ventilation rate.

Chemoreceptors send signals to compensate the RR for either acidosis or alkalosis

Q

What is the third line of defense in Acid Base Balance

Renal System

Tubules allow for secretion of H* that raise pH
Called renal net acid excretion (RNAE)

Nearly all filtrate will be reabsorbed and certain wastes may not be secreted efficiently

110
Q

Constriction of the afferent Arteriole….

A

Decrease glomerular pressure

-decrease RBF and GFR

111
Q

Constriction of the efferent Arteriole

A

Increase glomerulus pressure

  • increase GFR
112
Q

Dilation of the efferent Arteriole

A

Decreases glomerular pressure

  • increase RBF

116
Q

What is the myogenic mechanism

A

Acute increase in BP stretches the afferent Arteriole

Causes smooth muscle contraction of the afferent Arteriole (reducing RBF)

117
Q

When does myogenic mechanism occur naturally

A

In Systolic BP of 90-180

118
Q

Immediate increase in BP causes …

A

Myogenic vasoconstriction and then compensatory vasodilation

Q

What is tubuloglomerular feedback

A

Responds to changes in NaCL and H2O

Macula densa cells detect increase levels in the filtrate (GFR too fast)

  • release ATP and adenosine
  • causes both Afferent and Efferent Art to contract
  • Decreases the GFR
120
Q

What is the JGA

A

The juxtaglomerular apparatus
