lab 9 Flashcards
fluid
refers to water
electrolytes
- definition
- function
inorganic compounds that dissociate in water to form ions
-can conduct an electrical current in solution
sodium
most abundant ion of the ECF and main contributor to the osmolarity
osmolarity
- definition
- osmolarity of body fluids
solute concentration of blood
-300 mOsm/L
3 hormones that play a key role in regulating fluid and electrolyte balance
- ADH (released from posterior pituitary)
- aldosterone (adrenal cortex)
- atrial naturetic peptide (heart)
antidiuretic hormone
- function
- where is it released from
- stimulus
- how is blood osmolarity detected
- prevents fluid loss and promotes the conservation of body water
- posterior pituitary
- increase in blood osmolarity (increased solute concentration and decrease in water concentration)
- by osmoreceptors
how does ADH to increase in blood osmolarity
-results
- by increasing the reabsoption of water (water is conserved) and stimulates thirst
- small vol of concentrated urine
aldosterone
- 2 functions
- results
- regulates blood Na+ levels (specifically increase sodium reabsorption in the DCT and CD - conserves sodium)
- increases secretion of potassium
- regulates blood Na+ levels (specifically increase sodium reabsorption in the DCT and CD - conserves sodium)
- decrease in blood and increase in urine
aldosterone
- released from
- stimulus
- adrenal cortex
- decrease in sodium or increase in potassium; activation of the renin-angiotensin system
renin angiotensin system
- type of cells
- release what
- stimulus
- juxtaglomerular cells
- renin
- decrease in blood vol.
- a reduction in bp
- stimulation by the simpathetic system
- decrease in blood vol.
renin
-function
-enzyme that converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I and then angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II by angiotensin converting enzyme
angiotensin II
-2 functions
- stimulates aldosterone release from adrenal cortex
2. causes vasoconstriction (increases bp)
atrial natiretic peptide
- definition
- released from
- 3 functions
- promotes both fluid and sodium loss by the kidneys
- atria
- decreases aldosterone release, resulting in a decrease in sodium reabsorption and increased sodium loss in urine
- decreases ADH release which decreases water reabsorption and increases water loss to lower blood vol and pressure
- decreases thirst
- decreases aldosterone release, resulting in a decrease in sodium reabsorption and increased sodium loss in urine
