Final Exam - Chapter 27 Flashcards
Is the interstitial fluid in the ICF or ECF?
ECF
What percent of infants is water?
75%
What is the purpose of electrolytes?
To maintain an electrical neutrality in cells
Electrolytes generate an ______ _______ in nerves or muscles
Action potential
What are the three hormones in the thirst mechanism?
-ADH
-Aldosterone
-angiotensin II
Regulation of water balance is governed by what type of feedback mechanism?
High-gain feedback mechanism
what do osmoregulators do?
Sense plasma osmolality and stimulates the secretion of ADH
Aquaporion 2 water channels move into the membrane of collecting ducts. What happens to the level of water reabsorption as a result?
Increases
What happens if the three main hormones in the thirst mechanism are disrupted?
Leads to a defect in the thirst mechanism
What is a function of the adrenal gland?
Produce aldosterone hormone (after the stimulation by angiotensin II)
What are the three types of protein buffers?
Albumins, globulins, and hemoglobin
If the blood pH is too high/alkaline (alkalosis), what will the effect on bicarbonate be?
It will increase the excretion of bicarbonate (reduce bicarbonate)
Na+ is abundant where in relation to the cell?
Outside
If one of the resistant pressures is increased, wat would the NFP do?
It would decrease
What keeps you wanting to drink water until late?
High-gain feedback mechanism
An incraese in blood osmolality —> dry mouth —> stimulates thirst center in the hypothalamus —> increase in ______ —> h20 taken in —> _____ in blood osmolality
Thirst; decrease
Decrease in blood volume —> increase in __________ —> stimulates thirst center in hypothalamus —> increase thirst —> h2O taken in —> decreases osmolality
Angiotensin II
Scenario A with decreased blood, decreased blood pressure, and an increase in angiotensin II is regulated by which organ?
The kidney
Scenario B that has an increase in osmolality and dry mouth is regulated by which organ?
The brain (hypothalamus and adrenal gland)
What is the backup mechanism to increase water input?
Thirst
What are considered to be insensible water loss?
Exhalation and sweating
What is considered to be a sensible water loss?
Urine
