McCormick lectures Flashcards
hypoxia results in what compared to normal?
INcreased ICF Na
ICF osmolarity is due to what?
K+
The cell membrane between ECF and ICF is permeable to what?
water
NO IONS
the capillary membrane between ECF compartments is permeable to what?
small ions
how is fluid distribution between plasma and interstitial fluid maintained?
balance of hydrostatic and osmotic forces across capillaries
how is fluid distribution between ECF and ICF determined?
osmotic effect of small solutes across cell membrane (highly permeable to water)
what fluids stay in the ECF only?
whole body?
crystalloid fluids
saline
lactated Ringer’s Solution
what kind of fluids contain large proteins and molecules which stay within the vascular space?
colloid fluids
dextran, albumin, mannitol
what is non-pitting edema?
swollen cells due to increased ICF volume
what is pitting edema
increased interstitial fluid volume
what are the 3 anatomical urinary tract divisions?
upper
bladder
urethra
what composes the upper urinary tract?
CPU
calyces
pelvis
ureters
what controls voiding of the urethra?
2 sphincters
internal sphincter:
smooth or skeletal m.?
Symp or PS?
voluntary/involuntary?
smooth
PS
involuntray
what is the afferent pathway for bladder fullness?
pelvic splanchnic nerve or hypogastric plexus
POSTERIOR column
afferent pathway for bladder pain?
pelvic splanchnic n. / hypogastric plexus in the
ANTEROLATERAL column
reflex arc from the bladder?
bladder –> sacral detrusor nucleus –> bladder
reflex arc from urethra?
urethra –> sacral pudendal nucleus/sacral micturition center –> voluntary sphincter
where do the reflex arcs occur?
S2-S4
what nt does Symp fiber use?
where does it originate?
what does it pass through?
function?
NE
intermediolateral spinal gray horn T10-L2
hypogastric plexus
inhibits voiding
what nt does PS use?
origin?
what does it pass through?
function?
Ach
sacral detrusor/micturition center S2-S4
pelvic splanchnic nerve
contracts detrusor, relaxes sphincter
somatic fiber origin?
passes through what?
function?
sacral pudendal nucleus, S2-S4
hypogastric plexus and pelvic splanchnic nerve
contracts external urethral sphincter (rhabdomyosphincters)
what overrides the urge to void?
how?
Pontine micturition center (barrington’s center) located at the pons
control of sacral micturition center and thoracolumbar sympathetic outflow
what does Barrington’s Center coordinate?
activity of bladder and urinary sphincters
Tension = ?
(P x r) / 2
where do bladder stretch receptors send sensory info to?
sacral micturition center –> activate PS
higher centers in brainstem, cerebral cortex –> inhibit PS
what is the cause of an atonic/flaccid bladder?
what happens to the bladder?
destruction of afferent inputs via injury, Diabetes, syphilis, MS
stretch info not transmitted, no contractions, bladder fills to capacity and overflows, walls get thin and distended
AA
what causes denervated (hypertrophic areflexic) bladder?
what is the result?
destruction of afferent and efferent
detrusor contractions cease, bladder becomes flaccid and distended
later the detrusor has spontaneous activity and bladder shrinks due to hypertrophy of wall
DD
what causes automatic (spastic) bladder?
result?
injury/severed spinal cord above sacral region cuts off brain communication
spinal shock suppresses micturition reflex makes flaccid bladder
control by brain is lost, spastic bladder
A.I.
what causes uninhibited neurogenic bladder (dysreflexia)?
destruction of somatic tracts for inhibition
micturition is activated by small amounts of urine (constantly stimulated)
detrusor hypertrophies, bladder capacity reduced
UTI
what causes UTI?
result?
E. coli
uninhibited contraction of detrusor m. w/micturition reflex
urinary freq and leakage
what is isosmotic volume contraction?
expansion?
vomiting, diarrhea, hemorrhage
infusion of 0.9 NaCl
