Q

How is water and osmolality of the ECF controlled by the CNS/ brain?

A

The hypothalamic thirst center involves

Subfornical Organ (SFO)
and
Organum Vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT)

both have extensive vasculature and lack of a normal blood brain barrier (BBB)
This allows them to link the CNS and peripheral blood flow

18
Q

What stimulates the sensation of thirst?

A

increase in plasma osmolality (1-2%)

or decrease in plasma volume (10-15%)

19
Q

Where is the thirst centre located, what is used to monitor it, and where are impulses relayed to in the brain?

A

anterior hypothalamus
osmoreceptors
cerebral cortex (conscious)

20
Q

Describe how information in the blood is relayed to the hypothalamus

A

Baroreceptors in blood vesseles are innervated by the vagus and glossopharangeal nerve..

Information passes using these nerves to the vasomotor centre in the medulla oblongata

It travels up to the paraventricular and supraoptic nucleus in the hypothalamus.

The osmoreceptros then stimulate the posterior pituitary which when required will stimulate ADH production

21
Q

What is ADH? Where is it released from, what does its release depend on and what effect does it have?
(hormonal regulation of low plasma level)

A

Antidiurectic hormone

Posterior pituitary

Released when plasma osmolality increased (sensed by osmoreceptors and hypothalamus)

Released when plasma volume decreases (sensed by baroreceptors in the great veins and right atrium)

It causes the cells of the collecting duct and distal tubules to be more permeable to water. And increases the insertion of aquaporins

22
Q

What is aldosterone? What releases it? Why is it released? And what effect does it have?
(hormonal regulation of plasma osmolality)

A

Hormone
Released from Adrenal cortex
when NA+ is low or k+ is high.

It targets Na+/K+ ATPase and epithelial Na+ channel. Causes absorption of Na+

23
Q

Hormonal regulation of high blood plasma-

What is ANP? What releases it? When is it released? What effect does this have?

A

Atrial natriuretic peptide

Released from cardiac atria
when blood volume inceases (stretches atria)

brings blood volume back to normal- increased Na+ excretion so increased urination

24
Q

What is the function of Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin

A

makes cells of collecting duct & distal tubule permeable to water.

25
Q

What is the function of Angiotensin II and Aldosterone

A

promote the urinary reabsorption of Na+ and Cl- (as well as water, by osmosis) when dehrydrated.

26
Q

What is the function of Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)

A

promote excretion of Na+ and Cl- followed by water excretion to decrease blood volume.

27
Q

When does dehydration occur and what are its symptoms?

A

When water intake is not enough to cover water loss over a long period of time so water is lost from the plasma and interstitial fluid.

Symptoms- weight loss, confusion, fever

28
Q

Which condition can cause excess urine loss/ dehydaration?

A

Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes

excess sugar increases osmolality and prevents water reabsorbtion

29
Q

What type of kidney abnormalities can cause dehydration

A

Under developed kidneys (young)

Declined kidney function (old)

30
Q

What is water intoxication?

A 
Too much water drunk too fast or complete blockage of urine production. This dilutes the bodies fluids.
Na+ in ECF is reduced
So osmotic shift of water into cells
causing cellular swelling
(convulsions, coma,death)
31
Q

What is the word to describe a low sodium concentration in the blood? Which party drug can cause this?

A

Hyponatraemia

Ecstasy- drink too much water

32
Q

What is oedema?

A

The swelling of the tissues due to accumulation of fluid in the ECF

33
Q

What are the 4 main causes of oedema? State any associated conditions

A
  1. increased capillary hydro-static pressure- so fluid leaves capillaries
    (cirrhosis portal hypertension)
  2. loss of plasma proteins (sever malnutrition)
  3. Obstruction of lymphatic circulation)
  4. Increased capillary permeability (inflammation)
34
Q

What is the consequence of lactose malabsorbtion?

A

Osmotic diarrhea

35
Q

Which are the major solutes which contribute to osmolality?

A

Na+, Cl-, Glucose & urea

36
Q

What are solutes? What are the different classes of solutes? What fits into each category?

A

Solutes: molecules in solution (eg salts)
• Classification:
– Electrolytes – inorganic salts (ie: Na+, K+, Cl-) , all acids and bases and some proteins
– Non electrolytes – examples include glucose, lipids, creatinine, and urea

37
Q

Which type of solute has the greatest osmotic power?

A

Electrolytes

38
Q

Describe what is osmotic pressure?

A

the process that controls the movement of solvents (water) across a membrane. Movement will occur when there are differences in osmotic pressure across a membrane.

39
Q

What are the two definitions of osmotic pressure? Which is most often used?

A

Osmolarity- solute concentration as the number of osmoles of solute per litre of solution
Osmolality: is the measure of the osmoles (Osm) of solute per kilogram (Kg) of solvent
Osmolality is most often used

40
Q

Can osmolarity and osmolality be changed? I so by what?

A

Osmolarity can by pressure or tempertaure

Osmolality can not- per unit mass

41
Q

What happens to urine when ADH is high and when it is low?

Which medical condition can cause ADH release?

A

Low ADH levels produce dilute urine and reduced volume of body fluids
• High ADH levels produce concentrated urine

prolonged fever, excessive sweating, vomiting, or diarrhea, severe blood loss

42
Q

Where is most water reabsorbed? How much is absorbed here?

A

Proximal tubule

80%

43
Q

What is the most common cause of portal hypertension?

A

Cirrhosis

44
Q

Where will you find barereceptors?

Where will you find osmoreceptors?

A

Great veins
Right atria

Hypothalamus
