Q

Water and plasma proteins pressure

A

Osmotic pressure (osmosis) = water
Oncotic pressure = plasma proteins, notably albumin, that causes a pull on fluid back into the capillary

16
Q

Three types of osmosis

A

Isotonic = equal tension between the cell and the solution it is in
Hypertonic = higher concentration solution outside the cell; water is leaving the cell in an attempt to dilute the hypertonic solution and the cell shrivel
Hypotonic = lower concentration solution outside the cell; water enter the cell to dilute the cell and the cell grows and can even explode (“hypotonic leads to hippo cell :-)”)

17
Q

Term for Active Transport

A

ATP Adenosine Triphosphate (a DE nasin trai FAs fate)

18
Q

Resistant to treatment or cure

A

Refractory

19
Q

Enzymes that metabolize drugs in the liver

A

Cytochromes (sai ta krom, “sight a chrome”)

20
Q

pH lower than 7.35 is…

A

Acidosis … body buffers with bicarbonate

21
Q

pH greater than 7.45 is…

A

Alkalosis … body buffers with carbonic acid (H2CO3)

22
Q

A common excitatory neurotransmitter

A

Acetylcholine (ACh) (asido KO lin)

23
Q

When we are breathing too slow

A

CO2 (an acid) stays in the lungs = Respiratory acidosis (hypo)

24
Q

When we breath too fast

A

Respiratory alkalosis (hyper) - we get rid of too much CO2

25
Q

Too much base in the metabolic process.

A
  • Metabolic alkalosis - increase in bicarbonate HCO3, low on acid H+
  • Renal correction - kidneys keeps the H+ in the body to increase acidity
26
Q

Too much acid in the metabolic process.

A
  • Metabolic acidosis - we don’t have sufficient levels of bicarbonate (HC03), just a lot of H+
  • Renal correction - Kidneys work to filter out Hydrogen (H+) and keep more (and even produce new) bicarbonate (HCO3)
