Q

What is homeostasis impairment? What major intervention can impair these processes?

A

Homeostasis is the state of balance in the body’s systems that allows it to function and survive. Homeostatic imbalance, or homeostatic failure, occurs when the body can’t maintain a stable internal environment. Anesthesia impairs control systems, requiring manual management.

Q

Control system detecting changes and counteracting them to maintain stability

A

Negative feedback

39
Q

Class examples given for negative feedback

A

Body’s response to decreased MAP resulting in release of AVP/ADH, decreasing ANP, parasympathetic outflow and increasing sympathetic outflow. Also, increasing CO2 will increase respiratory drive to systematically decrease CO2

40
Q

Class example given related to the body’s sensors and controllers

A

Thermostat

41
Q

Nervous system response increasing norepinephrine release to regulate blood pressure

A

Sympathetic outflow

42
Q

Nervous system response reducing activity to help stabilize blood pressure

A

Parasympathetic outflow

43
Q

Hormone that increases in response to low blood pressure by binding to V2 receptors on the cell surface of tubular cells, initiating an intracellular cascade which results in antidiuretic action on the collecting ducts of the kidney.

A

Vasopressin (VP, ADH, AVP)

44
Q

28-amino acid peptide that helps regulate blood pressure and blood volume by increasing the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the kidneys, dilating blood vessels, and promoting the excretion of sodium and water through urine, which decreases blood volume and regulates blood pressure. It also suppresses the autonomic pressure response and inhibits the secretion of renin and aldosterone.

A

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP)

45
Q

System that amplifies a change, like oxytocin during labor

A

Positive Feedback

46
Q

Class examples given for positive feedback

52
Q

In severe acidosis, this normal body regulatory process can be a pathologic cycle, exacerbating the condition

A

pathological positive feedback ( in severe acidosis, the central nervous system can be affected to the point that respiratory drive is reduced. This reduced respiratory drive then perpetuates the acidosis, creating a positive feedback loop that spirals out of control. This type of positive feedback system is also termed a “vicious cycle”

53
Q

Healthy individuals can usually manage this much blood volume reduction.

A

20% or 1L in a healthy 70kg adult

54
Q

Amount of blood loss that significantly impairs the body’s ability to compensate, leading to critical condition.

A

40% or 2L in a healthy 70kg adult
