  • water will move _____ of cells
  • causing them to _______.
A
  • Dilute
  • into cells
  • Osmolysis
38
Q

Hypertonic

  • ECF is ____
  • water will move _____ of cells
  • causing them to _______.
A
  • Concentrated
  • out of cells
  • plasmolysis
39
Q

Low ECF volume & low blood pressure stimulate the ___________ to produce ________.

A

Angiotensin II

42
Q

Angiotensin II stimulates ____________ to produce ______________.

A

Adrenal cortex to produce aldosterone.

43
Q

Aldosterone cause ____________by kidneys which leads to ___________ by kidneys

  • increase tubular reabsorption of Na+

- water to follow Na+ (salt)

52
Q

Aldosterone
1- produced by what
2- function
3- stimulus

A

1- Adrenal cortex

- increase K+ excretion
3 - stimulated by dehydration, low blood pressure, low blood sodium

53
Q

ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide)
1- produced by what
2- function
3- stimulus

A

1 - Atria of Heart
2 - Increase excretion of Na+ (put more Na+ into urine, water will follow)
3 - stimulated by high blood pressure, too much Na+ (too salty)

54
Q

1 - Main hormone influencing ECF volume _______.

2 - it acts on ______ reabsorption in the _________ & __________.

A

1 - Aldosterone

2 - Na+, distal convoluted tubule & collecting duct

55
Q

Kidneys regulate ECF concentration by producing _______________ urine when the ECF is too concentrated.

A

concentrated

56
Q

ADH - antidiuretic hormone

  2. major action
  3. site of release
A
  1. increase in osmolarity (salty) of body fluids
  2. posterior pituitary
  3. increase water reabsorption
57
Q

In presence of ADH water is reabsorbed by the ___________ & __________.

A

renal tubules and collecting duct

58
Q

Protein buffer system

  1. weak base
  2. weak acid
  3. where is it found
A
  1. the free amino group (releases H+)
  2. the free carboxyl group (combines with H+)
  3. intracellular fluid, blood plasma
59
