lecture 12 olympics Flashcards
the scrotum
is a sac located between the thighs and holds the testicles
water and chloride usually follow the movement of which cation ?
sodium
bicarbonate (HCO3-) is considered an anion because it
carries a negative charge
hyperventilation is most likely to cause
a blood pH higher than 7.45
where is sperm produced
seminiferous tubules
which condition is caused by vomiting stomach contents?
alkalosis
which of the following is true of hyperkalemia
refers to an elevation in serum potassium
sixty percent of the volume of semen comes from these glands
seminal vesicles
a deficiency of ADH, called diabetes insipidus, is characterized by
polyuria and polydipsia
with carbon dioxide retention, CO2 + H2O produces more
H+ + HCO3-
a drug that decrease the synthesis of aldosterone
decreases blood pressure
what is the primary secretion of the corpus luteum ?
progesterone
what condition is most apt to cause a dilutional hyponatremia
excess ingestion of water
human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
maintains the corpus luteum
what is the coiled structure that sits on top of the testes and is the place where sperm mature
epididymis
hypocalcemia is most likely to
cause tetany
what is most likely to occur when output is less than intake
edema
what hormone is characterized by androgen, steroid, and interstitial cells
testosterone
a change of pH from 7.40 to 7.25
reflects an increase in the amount of H+ in the blood
what of the following anions buffers H+
HCO3-
hyperkalemia
generally develops in response to declining renal function
which hormone is also called interstitial cells-stimulation hormone and stimulates the interstitial cells to secrete testosterone
luteinizing hormone
the determination of daily weights is used to monitor
diuretic therapy
K+
is a cation
what is a characteristic of acidosis
pH less than 7.35
what is true of dehydration
is characterized by poor skin turgor and “tenting”
the zygote
is the fertilized ovum
excess diuresis is most likely to cause
blood volume depletion
plasma oncotic pressure
“pulls” water into the capillaries from the interstitium
the corpus luteum
secretes large amounts of progeesterone
more than 99% of what cation is stored in the bones and teeth
calcium
hyperkalemia refers to an increase in the blood levels of which. ion?
Potassium
kaliuresis refers to the urinary loss of
potassium
what condition stimulates kussmaul respirations
ketoacidosis
what is most likely to happen when fatty acids are broken down rapidly and incompletely
ketoacids are produced, causing metabolic acidosis
retention of which ion causes water retention and edema formation
sodium
what is most likely to develop in an anxious hyperventilating patient
alkalosis
what does urinary specific gravity measure
hydration status of the body
what indicates the role of albumin in water balance
maintains plasma oncotic pressure
what is most likely to occur when output exceeds intake
dehydration
what carries both urine and semen
urethra
under which condition will the renal reabsorption of bicarbonate increase
as a compensatory mechanism for respiratory acidosis
poor skin turgor is most indicative of
dehydration
a drug that blocks the renal reabsorption of sodium
increases the amount the urine
the myometrium
is responsive to oxytocin
most diuretics increase urine production by blocking the effects of what cation
sodium
the acrosome
contains enzymes that assist the sperm to fertilize an ovum
what hormone causes the kidneys to retain sodium and to excrete potassium
aldosterone
an example of metabolic acidosis with a respiratory compensation
ketoacidosis and kussmaul respiration
metabolic acidosis, such as diabetic ketoacidosis, is most likely to cause
kussmaul respirations
what term refers to the penis and scrotum
external genitals
what is least descriptive of dehydration
anasarca
what ion determines the resting membrane potential of nerve and muscle
potassium
hypoventilation is. most likely to cause
acidosis
aldosterone
is released in response to hypovolemia
semen
means seed
what condition is most apt to decrease glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
hypotension
what is most likely to cause acidosis
accumulation of plasma H+
what pH is descriptive of ketoacidosis
7.25
what. consists of a midpiece, head, and flagellum
sperm
the seminiferous tubules
are tightly coiled structures that produce sperm
what cells secrete testosterone
interstitial cells
third spacing
can result in an abnormal accumulation of large amounts of water
what is the chief extracellular cation
sodium
what is most likely to develop in a patient who hyperventilates because of a chronic respiratory disease, such as emphysema
acidosis
the movement of Na+ determines the
movement of water
