51
Q

how is osmotic pressure determined

A

by the number of solutes in a solution, not size or mass or chemical nature

52
Q

what is the difference between osmolarity and osmolality

A

osmolarity is the number of solutes per L of solvent

osmolality is the number of solute per 1 kg of solvent

53
Q

What factor is osmolality independent of

A

temperature

54
Q

if you placed a RBC in a solution of urea what would happen

A

the RBC would burst because urea is hypotonic

55
Q

would urea be condisered and effective or ineffective osmole when talking about RBC membrane

A

ineeffective because it cannot exert an osmotic pressure since it can cross the membrane

56
Q

What is oncotic P

A

osmotic P generated by large molecules (proteins) in solution

57
Q

what is specific gravity

A

the total solute concentration in a solution

58
Q

A

the specific gravity

59
Q

What makes of ECF

A

1/4 plasma

3/4 interstitial fluid from bone, dense CT and CSF

60
Q

Ascites is an example of what fluid utilization

A

“third space”

61
Q

how is urea measure in plasma

A

as the nitrogen in the urea molecule. BUN

62
Q

does hydrostatic pressure cause a gradeint across ECF and ICF? osmotic pressure?

A

hydrostatic pressure does not

osmotic pressure does

63
Q

what does the capillary filtration coefficient reflect of capillary wall? Kf

A

the movement of fluid and SA available for filtration

64
Q

Precapillary sphincters control what

A

hydrostatic P in an individual capillary and number of perfused capillaries in tissue

65
Q

What is used clinically to decrease a cerebral edema

A

mannitol because it does not cross blood brain barrier and sucks water out, effective osmole

66
Q

if you need to increase a patients vascular volume what do you infuse

A

5% albumin because albumin does not cross barrier

67
Q

how do you expans a patients ECF

A

isotonic NaCl solution

68
Q

what are the neural and hormonal effector mechanisms to changes in volume and osmolarity of blood

A

neural is sympathetic discharge

hormonal is ADH and aldosterone secretion

69
Q

where are the osmoreceptors of the body located

A

anterior hypothalamus near supraoptic nuclei

70
Q

what do osmoreceptors not respond to

A

hypertonic solutions of urea or glucose

71
Q

where are the volume receptors of the body located

A

right atrium

72
Q

an increase in blood volume has what effect

A

stimulate volume receptors that inhibit vasomotor area and suppress sympathetic discharge
also inhibit thirst and ADH secretion

73
Q

which type of receptor in the body is more sensitive. osmo or volume?
which has greater effects?

A

osmoreceptors more senstiive

volume receptors have stronger effects

74
Q

Where is ADH released and what is its role

A

posterior pituitary gland to promote water reabsorption from collecting duct to make isotonic or hypertonic

75
Q

What stimulates the release of aldosterone

A

circulating ANG II from SANS activity
rise in plasma [K]
fall in plasma [Na]

76
Q

What is the effect of aldosterone

A

reabsorption of Na from distal convoluted tubule

77
Q

What stimulates thirst? inhibits?

A

stimulated by osmoReceptor impulses and ANG II

inhibited by volume receptor stimulation

78
Q

What are the two major responses to hypovolemia

A

salt cravings and sympathetic discharge to retain Na and H2O

79
Q

What are the consequences to a lot of drinking plain water

A

increase ICF and ECF volumes with slightly lower osmolarity

80
Q

What is the response to drinking mass amounts of plain water

A

excretion of hypotonic urine. however Na always gets out so long term leads to Na depletion

81
Q

what is the consequence of drinking excess salt, hypertonic saline

A

plasma volume and osmolarity increase. the plasma colloid pressure decreases. so water moves out of capillaries increasing ECF volume and osmolarity. this extracts fluid from ICF (shrinking cells)

82
Q

what is the corrective response to intake of hypertonic saline

A

water retention because increase of plasma osmolarity. plasma volume overload overrides this osmolarity tonicity.
suppress thirst and ADH, excretion large volumes hypotonic urine..exacerbating osmolarity
Natriuretic hormone that promotes Na excretion

83
Q

sweating is creating what type of tonicity

A

loss of hypotonic fluids

84
Q

diarrhea, intestinal obstruction, ascites, burns, hemorrhage is creating what type of tonicity

A

loss of isotonic fluids

85
Q

what is the consequence of profuse sweating or diarrhea or hemorrhage

A

ECF V decreases(plasma is ok because proteins retain fluid)
ECF osmolarity increases(unless loss isotonic)
Rise in ECF osmolarity draws water from cells, Shrunk cells–> painful cramps

86
Q

what is the corrective response to losing hypotonic solution

A

stimulation of osmoR because plasma osmolarity increased, redicution of the plasma volume inhibits volume R.
need to re-correct with isotonic or hypotonic SALT solutions

87
Q

Na restricted diet or loss of hypertonic fluid from vomititng causes what

A

decrease in ECF osmolarity, water moves into cells
ECF V dec, ICF V increases- cell swell
thirst center swells and interprets as excess water so inhibits thirst

88
Q

what is the corrective response to loss of hypertonic solution

A

thirst is absent, which is good so cells don’t burst
intense Na craving to draw water out from ICF back into ECF
as cells lose water thirst is restored and fluid intake corrects the rest
