Q

Serum osmolality

A

Tells the hypothalamus that there are more particles; thirsty.

Q

Blood volume

A

How much fluid we have. When there’s not enough it tells the hypothalamus to release ADH. Which then then causes reabsorption of water by the kidney

Q

High osmolarity causes

A

Thirst: increased water intake

ADH release: water reabsorbed from the urine

Q

Low Osmolality causes

A

Lack of thirst: decrease water intake

Decreased ADH release: Water lost in urine

Q

Diabetes Insipidus

A
Neurogenic
Nephrogenic
Excess urine output
Hypertonic dehydration 
DDAVP: desmopressin acetate
Thiazide diuretics: paradoxical effect
Stop urine output.

Q

SIADH: Syndrome of Inappropriate ADH

A
Failure of hypothalamus
Transient: stress, surgery, lung tumors
Excessive ADH secretion 
Decreased urine output 
Dilution also hyponatremia 
Treatment: Water restriction, diuretics, aquaretics

What are electrolytes

A

Substances that dissociate in solution to form charged particles or ions
Electrolytes are essential in metabolic processes

19
Q

Neurons

A

Create internal solutes that hold the water inside the cell.

20
Q

Neuron response to hypertonicity

A

Increased blood osmolality can cause cells to shrink they lose water to the vascular space.
Neve cells procure intracellular osmoles to keep their osmolality balanced with the blood

21
Q

Neuron response to hypertonicity

A

If the blood returns to isotonic to fast the nerve cells are hyperosmolar to the blood and gain water: swelling
Cerebral edema: can lead to brain damage or herniation

22
Q

Potassium

A

Normal level is 3.5-5.0
Controls cell resting potential
Needed for Na+/K+ pump
Exchanged for H+ to buffer changes in blood pH

23
Q

Hyperkalemia

A
Raises resting potential toward threshold. 
Cells fire more easily. 
Potassium in the blood
HR increased wont respond normally
Tachycardia
24
Q

Hypokalemia

A

Lowers resting potential away form threshold
Cells fire less easily
Bradycardia HR decreases
Not enough potassium in the blood

25
Alkalosis (potassium as a buffer)
Not enough H+ ions in the blood Cells release H+ ions to fix this imbalance and take up K+ ions in exchange Blood K+ will decrease Hypokalemia
26
Acidosis (potassium as a buffer)
Too many H+ ions in the blood Cells keep H+ ions inside to fix the imbalance and release K+ in exchange Blood K+ will increase Hyperkalemia
27
Calcium
Normal range 8.5-10.5 | Clottin
28
Extracellular calcium
Blocks Na+ gates in nerve and muscle cells controls excessive firing (Tetany)
29
Intracellular calcium
Needed for all muscle contraction (cardiac and skeletal)
30
Parathyroid hormone
Increases serum Ca+
31
Calcitonin
Decreases serum Ca+
32
Hypercalcemia
Blocks more Na+ gates | Nerves are less able to fire
33
Hypocacemia
Blocks fewer Na+ gates | Nerves fire more easily
34
Hypokalemia: Neuromuscular
Parenthesis, cramps, hyperrelexia, tetanyu
35
Hypocalcemia: CV
Hypotension, prolonged QT
36
Hypocalcemia: Skeletal
Osteoporosis
37
Hypercalcemia: Renal
Renal insufficiency | Kidney stones
38
Hypercalcemia: Neuromuscular
Ataxia, weakness, lethargy, coma
39
Hypercalcema: CV
Hypertension
40
Magnesium
Normal Level: 1.8-2.7 Cofactors in enzymatic reactions: - ATP, DNA replication, mRNA production Regulates Ca+ levels by binding to receptors Interdependent with K+ -affects heart rhythm- life threatening (cardiac dysrthmias)
41
Hypomagnesim: Neuromuscular
Weakness parathesias, Personality changes
42
Hypomagnesim: CV
Cardiac arrhythmias
43
Hypermagnesemia: Neuromuscular
Lethargy, hyporeflexia, confusion, coma
44
Hypermagnesemia: CV
Hypotension, Arrhythmias, arrest.
45
Phosphorous
``` Bone Red blood cell Acid/base Many enzymatic processes Reciprocal relationship with Ca+ Regulated by kidney ```
