Q

Do all animals require the same amount of drinking water?
Why or why not?

A

No not all animals require the same amount of drinking water.

This is due to animals all being different sizes, the environment there in and whether it is warmer climates or cooler, where they get there water from food, or drinking water.

A

because of mineral turnover. The minerals are consistently broken down and remade

94
Q

How is Ca homeostasis controlled in an animals body?

A

when dietary calcium increases, the percent absorption decreases

vitamin D increases calcium adoration since vitamin is needed to absorb calcium

controlled by parathyroid hormone which is Ade by parathyroid gland it increases blood calcium by increasing GIT absorption and release from bone

calcitonin made by thyroid gland decreases blood Ca by inhibiting release from bone

95
Q

What could Ca and P deficiency cause?

A

poor muscle contraction

abnormal bone development (long bones bend “bowed legs”)

muscle tetany ( milk fever) ( crisis situation blood levels dip too low signs include falling down and not being able to get up, and low milk production. Blood calcium is low due to milk production. treatment is giving IV calcium make sutra not to give it too fast because it can cause arrhythmias

96
Q

Why would a nutritionist not over feed P in a mono gastric diet ?

A
  • if we eat too much we can have deficiency symptoms
  • extras are secreted in urine
97
Q

How are Na, K, and Cl used in the body?

A

Na/K ATPase
- membrane transport protein
- requires ATP
- 3 Na out of cell/ 2 K into cell

Acid Base balance

HCL
- denaturing dietary protein in stomach
- lethal to microbes in stomach
