Q

The ions formed when electrolytes break apart serve four general functions in the body:

A
  1. Control the movement (osmosis) of water between fluid compartments.

2.Help maintain acid–base balance. (ph)

  1. Carry electrical current.
  2. Serve as cofactors for optimal activity of enyzmes.

44
Q

ACIDOSIS is a systemic arterial blood pH

A

below 7.35; it causes depression of the central nervous system

45
Q

ALKALOSIS is a systemic arterial blood pH

A

above 7.45; its principal effect is overexcitability of the CNS.

46
Q

The normal pH range of systemic arterial is

A

blood is 7.35 to 7.45_.

47
Q

Homeostasis of pH is maintained by;

A
  1. Buffers
  2. Kidney
  3. Lungs

Acid-base balance

48
Q

A buffer is

A

is a solution that helps to RESIST changes in pH when acid or base (alkali) levels change in a solution.

49
Q

Three Buffer Systems Acting in the Body:

A

-Protein buffer system (hemoglobin)

-Carbonic Acid- bicarbonate buffer system

-Phosphate buffer system

50
Q

______ Breathing plays an important role in maintaining the pH of body fluids.

A

Exhalation of carbon dioxide

51
Q

An increase in the carbon dioxide in body fluids increases or decreases H+

A

increases H+ concentration and thus decreases the pH (more acidic).

52
Q

The slowest but BEST mechanism for removal of acids is also the only way to eliminate most acids that form in the body.

A

Kidney excretion of H+

53
Q

Cells of the renal tubules secrete ?

A

secrete H+, which then is excreted in urine.

54
Q

A

Slide 29

55
Q

Buffer Systems do what?

A

Convert strong acids and bases into weak acids and bases, preventing drastic changes in body fluid PH

56
Q

Proteins are?

A

The most abundant buffers in body cells and blood. Hemoglobin is a buffer in blood plasma

57
Q

Carbonic acid-bicarbonate are?

A

Important regulators of blood pH; most abundant buffers in intracellular fluid and urine

58
Q

Exhalation of CO2 is?

A

Increased exhalation of CO2 pH rises (fewer H+); with decreased exhalation of CO2; pH falls (more H+)

59
Q

Kidneys do?

A

Kidney tubules secrete H+ into urine and reabsorb HCO3- so that it is not lost in urin

60
Q

With increasing age, there is?

A

there is DECREASED intracellular fluid volume and DECREASED potassium due to declining skeletal muscle mass.

61
Q

Decreased kidney function does?

A

adversely affects fluid and electrolyte balance, (and pH).

62
Q

Decreased lung function can?

A

can affect pH balance.
