-diarrhea
-ace inhibitors
-diuritics

Q

Composition of
Body Fluids Water:

A

Primary component of body
Accounts for approx 60% of body weight but it varies with age.
Adequate balance is necessary for
- maintenance of temp - elimination of
waste products - all transportation within
body

Q

Factors That
Affect Body
Water

A

Age is a huge factor.
neonates are made of 80% water vs older adults which is 45%.
Other factors that influence body water are:
The more adipose tissue the less body water you have. The more muscle mass you have the more water you have.

1) Fluid constantly moves among intracellular,
interstitial and vascular spaces to maintain
body fluid balance
2) Moves through permeable membranes
- permits movement of water and some
solutes
3) Normally ICF and ECF are isotonic with
each other

Q

Movement of
Body Fluids

A

Osmotic Pressure: It is specific to water and it means the movement of water from an area of low concentration of a solute to an area that has a higher consecration of solutes.

Refers to pulling power of a solution for
water
The higher the osmolality of a solution,
greater pulling power for water
Oncotic Pressure (it is a form of somotic pressure)
Refers to pulling force exerted by colloids

Q

Facilitated Diffusion (glucose)

A

Facilitated diffusion is the diffusion of solutes through transport proteins in the plasma membrane. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport. Even though facilitated diffusion involves transport proteins, it is still passive transport because the solute is moving down the concentration gradient.

Movement of
Body Fluids: Filtration

A

Movement of fluids and solutes from an area of

hydrostatic pressure into or out of the
capillary
Dependent on forces favoring filtration &
opposing it

Q

Movement of
Body Fluids. Active Transport

A

Movement of solute from an area of lower
solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration
Depends on ATP so if you have inadequate phosphate then you run the risk of not having enough ATP which is requires for energy
Example is Sodium- Potassium pump.

Q

Regulation of Body Fluids

A

Thirst Mechanism:

1) Stimulated by thirst receptors in
hypothalamus
2) Primary protection against
hyperosmolality
3) Normally occurs with even
small fluid losses
4) Stimulates the release of ADH and
aldosterone
5) Depressed in older people: and this puts them at risk for hyper osmolarity and therefore hypernatrimia. It is important to monitor for I/O and have water stations.

Q

Oncotic pressure?

A

It is the same as osmotic pressure but it is stronger because proteins pull harder (this is because they are bigger) It draws more water towards it than other solutes. It is carried out by the protein albumin. This type of pressure helps put fluid back to the vasculature to maintain BP. Coz remember more water in the BV = more pressure and more perfusion

Q

Facilitated diffusion ?

A

Some solutes can’t move into a cell without help due to the phospholipid bailayer membrane. They require a carrier protein to attach to it and bring it inside the cell then disassociate. A perfect example is glucose which requires insulin to help carry it into the cell.

A

The justaglumerular cells.

43
Q

Explain the Renin angiotenisin system.

A
44
Q

What do ACE inhibitos do ?

A

They prevent renin which is an enzyme from producing angiotensin 2 to (Ace inhibitor medications are used to lower BP)

45
Q

What does ACE mean ?

A

It is an acronym for angiotenesin converting enzyme which in this case rennin

46
Q

what is an example of an ACE inhibitor ?

A

Lisnopril: It helps block ACE (Rennin) which in turn helps the production of angiotenesin 2 which in turn blocks the production aldosterone. This causes the body not to hold on to NA and therefore water which causes a decrease in BP.

47
Q

What happens to K when aldosterone in released and H2O and NA are retained?

A

K levels go down due to excretion.
So more aldosterone means more NA and less K

48
Q

Is the thirst mechanism the primary protection against hyperosmolarity ?

A

Yes.

49
Q

What is another name for ADH?

A

Vasopressin

50
Q

A

no

59
Q

A

60
Q

Causes the kidneys to retain water but not sodium NA to decrease osmolality

A

ADH

61
Q

SIADH

A

syndrome of innapropriate secrition of the antidiuritic hormone (Too much release of ADH)

62
Q

Running a marathon can cause SIADH because ?

A

you keep drinking water but you are not replacing the sodium which leads to hyponatrimia

63
Q

Drugs that interfear with ADH secrition are

A

coffee or alcohol they act as a diuritic because they turn off our adh hormone. This makes us pee more diluted urine

64
Q

what conditions can trigger SIADH

A

pulmonary conditions, lung cancer, pneumonia which causes us to produce to much ADH

65
Q

In DI very little ADH is produces

A

true

66
Q

Dry inside caused by ?

A

DI diabetes insipidus

67
Q

Soaked inside caused by ?

A

SIADH

68
Q

Definition of DI ?

A

A state in which we pee a lot coz our body doesn’t produce enough ADH. so what happens is that we pee a lot of water and keep too much sodium which leads to hypernatremia

69
Q

SIADH causes hypo or hypernatrimia ?

A

hypo

70
Q

DI causes hypo or hypernatrimia ?

A

A

DI

80
Q

Atrial natriuretic hormone ?ANP

A

A hormone secreted by the atria in the heart due to an increase in BP in the BV. ANP targets the kidneys and causes a decrease in NA reabsorption. + NA exits the body therefore h2o follows it by osmosis. ANP affects BV by causing vasodilation.

81
Q

ANP increases glomerular filtration by vasodilating the afferent artriole in the nephron which brings blood into the glomerulus therefor increasing the amount of filtrate produced by the kidneys.

A

yes

82
Q

other things are done by ANP

A
  • inhibits rennin angiotenesin system
    -reduces the secrition of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex in the kidneys
    -it releases free fatty acids from adipose tissue
83
Q

When do you usually see ANP

A

withh heart failure.

84
Q

ANP when does it kick in?

A

only kicks in when there is fluid overload and causes diurises
