disorders of water balance Flashcards
hypernatremia
hyper-osmolality indicating a water deficit (high serum sodium concentration)
hyponatremia
hypoosmolality indicating a water excess (low serum concentration)
water in body provide information on sodium content?
nope
what refers to sodium content
volume
fluid in the vascular space that perfuse tissue
effective circulating volume
conditions of inadequate perfusion
ineffective circulating volume
conditions of ineffective circulating volume
- heart failure
- cirrhosis
- nephrotic syndrome
reflects total number of particles in solution
osmolality
reflects total number of osmotically active particles in solution
osmotic pressure
true or false:
osmotically active solute diffuse freely
nope
sensor for osmolality
osmoreceptors in the anterior hypothalamus
mediators for regulating osmolality
- ADH/vasopressin
2. thirst
vasopressin regulates
vascular smooth muscle tone
sensor for vasopressin
baroreceptors in the carotid sinus
effect of vasopressin and why
binds to V1aR to help limit blood loss by vasocontrisciton
at high concentration urine is ADH high or low
high
