Q

What is a condition characterized by widespread thrombosis and spontaneous hemorrhage that can be caused by sepsis, incompatible blood transfusion, cancer, or pregnancy?

A

DIC

130
Q

What happens in the proximal convoluted tubule?

A

major reabsorption of nutrients (2/3)

131
Q

What happens in the loop of Henle?

A

establishment of osmotic gradient- promotes water reabsorption

132
Q

Difference between thin descending and thick ascending limbs of the loop of Henle

A

thin- very permeable to water thick- not very permeable to water- pumps to move solutes

133
Q

What happens in the DCT?

A

further adjustments in composition of tubular fluid- combination of secretion and reabsorption

134
Q

What happens in the collecting duct?

A

carries tubular fluid through the osmotic gradient in the renal medulla (more fine tuning)

135
Q

Na in the nephron

A

reabsorbed along the entire nephron (2/3 within the PCT)

136
Q

What do the principal cells of the DCT/CD do?

A

reabsorb Na and H20, excrete K- normally impermeable to water unless acted upon by ADH

137
Q

What do the alpha intercalated cells of the DCT/CD do?

A

secrete H (stimulated by aldosterone)- reabsorb K by H-K-ATPase

138
Q

K in the nephron

A

2/3 reabsorbed in the PCT, 20% in ascending thick limb, either reabsorbed or secreted in the DCT and CD depending on dietary K intake (fine tuning)

139
Q

Path of CSF

A

lateral ventricles -> foramen of Monro -> 3rd ventricle -> aqueduct of Sylvius -> 4th ventricle -> Luschka and Magende -> subarachnoid space -> arachnoid villi and venous drainage

140

50-60 mL/100 g of brain tissue/minute, or 740-900 ml/min

141
Q

What % of CO does the brain receive?

A

15%

142
Q

Regulation of cerebral blood flow

A
143
Q

Affect of CBF in response to CO2

A

increased CO2 leads to increased CBF (CO2+H20–> carbonic acid –> H ions, which lead to vasodilation of cerebral vessels)

144
Q

Substances that increase the acidity of the brain will do what?

A

increase H ion concentration, which will increase CBF

145
Q

What does increased H concentration do to neuronal activity?

A

depresses it- “CO2 is a great anesthetic”

146
Q

Affect of oxygen deficiency on CBF

A

a decrease in cerebral tissue PO2 below 30 mmHg increases cerebral blood flow

147
Q

CBF is autoregulated between arterial pressure limits of?

A

around 60-160 (CBF is severely decreased below 50 mmHg)

148

A

shifts to the right

149
Q

CBF Autoregulation

A
150
Q

Role of SNS on CBF

A

when MAP rises quickly, SNS constricts brain arteries to prevent high pressure from reaching small vessels (prevents vascular hemorrhage)

151
Q

What has a higher metabolic rate, gray or white matter?

A

gray matter

178
Q

Growth hormone/somatotropin

A

-released by anterior pituitary -targets most tissues -increases growth, amino acid uptake and protein synthesis, glycogen synthesis, blood glucose levels

179
Q

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)

A

-released by anterior pituitary -targets thyroid -increases TH secretion

180
Q

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)

A

-released by anterior pituitary -targets adrenal cortex -increases glucocorticoid hormone secretion

181
Q

Luteinizing hormone

A

-released by anterior pituitary -targets ovaries and testes -ovulation and progesterone production in ovaries, testosterone synthesis

182
Q

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)

A

-released by anterior pituitary -targets follicles in ovaries, seminiferous tubules -follicle maturation and estrogen secretion, sperm cell production

183
Q

prolactin

A

-released by anterior pituitary -targets ovaries and mammary glands -milk production, increased response of follicle to LH and FSH

184
Q

epinephrine

A

-released by adrenal medulla -targets heart, BV, liver, adipose -increases CO, blood flow to muscles, constriction of BV, increased release of glucose and FA

185
Q

Mineralcorticoids (aldosterone)

A

-released by cortex (glomerulosa) -targets kidney -increased Na reabsorption and K/H excretion; enhanced water reabsorption

186
Q

Glucocorticoids (cortisol)

A

-released by cortex (fasciculata) -15-30 mg/day (up to 100 in stress) -targets most tissues -increased protein and fat breakdown, increased glucose production, inhibition of immune response and decreased inflammation

187
Q

Androgens

A

-released by cortex (reticularis) -targets many tissues -development of secondary sex characteristics

188
Q

thyroxine (T4) and triidothyronine (T3)

A

-stimulates oxygen and energy consumption, increases basal metabolic rate -stimulate protein synthesis -t4 is more abundant, T3 is active

189
Q

calcitonin

A

-released by thyroid -stimulates osteoblasts, inhibits Ca release from bone -“tones” down calcium

190
Q

Parathyroid hormone (PTH)

A

regulates serum calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D synthesis

191
Q

Glucagon

A

-released by alpha cells -breakdown of glycogen in liver and muscles -increases glucose level in blood

192
Q

insulin

A

-released by beta cells -increases membrane permeability for glucose, lowers glucose level, stimulates synthesis of glycogen in liver and muscles

193
Q

somatostatin

A

-released by delta cells -inhibits release of GI hormones

194

self regulate the pancreas secretion activities and affect glycogen levels

195
Q

What are hormones?

A

chemical messengers- either proteins, amino acid derivatives, steroids

196
Q
