Lecture 17 Flashcards
what muscle is especially sensitive to fluctuations in plasma K+
Cardiac muscle
Potassium and what moves in opposite directions in acid base balance
H+
acidosis leads to what effect on K+
rise in extracellular K+
Alkalosis leads to what effect on K+
Higher intracellular levels
what percent of K+ is lost in filtrate
10
Most potassium is reabsorbed where
PCT
Ascending limb of loop of henle
Where is k+ secreted
DCT
principal cells of collecting duct
Why do we need to be constantly eating potassium
Because we secrete so much of it
What effect does aldosterone have on potassium
Increased secretion
Where is most calcium found
In bone
Name 4 things calcium is important for
Muscle contraction
Bone density
NT release
Second messengers
Where is PTH secreted from
Parathyroid glands
What does PTH do
Increases blood calcium
What does PTH sacrifice to maintain blood calcium levels
Bone density
What increases blood calcium levels
PTH
What calcium affecting hormone is important for kids but not adults
Calcitonin
What does calcitonin do
Decreases blood calcium
Stimulates bone deposition, inhibits reabsorption
What percent of filtered calcium is reabsorbed
98
What are the 3 targets of PTH
bone
small intestine
kidneys
Why does PTH have the opposite effect on phosphate than calcium
Phosphate will bind to calcium and decrease the levels in blood
What does PTH target in bone
Osteoclasts
What does PTH target in the small intestine
Activation of Vitamin D
What percent of filtered phosphate is reabsorbed in PCT
75
What process is involved in reabsorption of phosphate
Active transport
How much phosphate is reabsorbed in absence of PTH
up to Tm
How much phosphate is reabsorbed in the presence of PTH
reduced reabsorption
What does calcitonin inhibit
Osteoclasts
What effect does calcitonin inhibiting osteoclasts have
No breakdown of bone to release calcium
What is the arterial pH
7.4
What is the venous pH
7.35
What is the intracellular pH
7.0
Name 4 sources of acid
Breakdown of proteins containing phosphorus
Anaerobic metabolism of glucose
Fat metabolism
Transport of CO2 as bicarbonate
What acid comes from Breakdown of phosphorus-containing proteins
phosphoric acid
What acid comes from anaerobic metabolism of gluocse
Lactic acid
What acid comes from fat metabolism
fatty acids
ketone bodies
What acid comes from loading and transport of CO2 as bicarbonate
H+ ions
