Lecture 16 Flashcards
What 3 things have to happen for micturition
Detrusor muscle must contract
Internal urethral sphincter must open
External urethral sphincter must open
Where is the detrusor muscle
The wall of the bladder
What is the role of the pontine storage center
Inhibits micturition
What is the role of the pontine micturition center
Promotes micturition
What is stress incontinence
Incontinence as a result from increased abdominal pressure - sneezing, laughing
What is incontinence
The inability to control micturition voluntarily
What is urinary retention
bladder unable to expel urine
What is renal failure
Running out of nephrons that work properly
How can prolonged pressure on skeletal muscle cause renal failure
As muscle cells get broken, they release a lot of substances that go into the blood, and can damage the kidney
When is dialysis needed
once renal functioning is below 25%
What is hemodialysis
artificially filtering blood through a machine
What is peritoneal dialysis
filtering blood through BV of the peritoneal membrane
What is the liquid infused with peritoneal dialysis
Dialysate
What is dialysate composed of
Mostly salts and sugars
Why is dialysate composed of mostly salts and sugars
to encourage filtration - very high solute concentration
What is Dialysate
the liquid infused with peritoneal dialysis
How is dialysate infused into the peritoneal cavity
through a catheter
What are the two types of peritoneal dialysis
Continuous ambulatory
Continuous cycling
What is continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
Where you put a 2L of dialysate into peritoneal cavity, wait 4-5 hours and drain it back into the bag
How many times a day do you do CAPD
about 4-5
What machine does CCPD use
a cycler
How long does each CCPD cycle last
1-1.5 hours
When is CCPD done
At night while patient sleeps
What is done during CCPD
The cycler does multiple exchanges, so it’ll fill the cavity, filter, drain, and repeat every once in a while
What is 60% of your total body fluid
Intracellular fluid
What is 40% of your total body fluid
extracellular fluid
What are the two parts of extracellular fluid
Interstitial fluid
Plasma
What percent of ECF is interstitial fluid
80%
What percent of ECF is plasma
20%
