Pathogenis and salutogenesis. Transportation of fluid and acid base balance. Flashcards
salutogenesis
(source of health)focuses on factors that support human health and well being rather than on factors that cause disease
-An approach to human health that examines the factorscontributing to the promotion and maintenance of physicaland mental well-being (assets for health).
-Focuses on the coping mechanisms of individuals which help preserve health despite stressful condition
Public health/ health promotion model. What psychological,environmental, and social influences make people healthy?
Pathogenesis
Pathogenesis is the process by which a disease or disorder develops. It can include factors which contribute not only to the onset of the disease or disorder, but also to its progression and maintenance.
- focuses on the origin and development
- focuses on origins which deflict poor health
-focuses on what biologicl factors make people ill
-Health promotion focuses on heath rather than disease
How do we gain water
Ingestion-
Taking food or drink to the body by swallowing or absorbing it
Metabolic Synthesis- the chemicalreactions that releaseenergy from foodresult in thesynthesis of water
What is the average daily water gain
2,500ml
made up from
1,600ml from drinks
700ml from moisture in food
200 ml from metabolic water
What ways can we lose water?
Excretion by the kidneys into urine 1,500
Evaporation from the skin 600ml
Exhaled from the lungs as water vapour 300ml
lost in the faeces 100ml
How is thirst stimulated?
The urge to drink is goverened by an area called the hypothalumus called the thirst center
It is stimulated in 3 main ways
.Dryness of the mouth-ndeteted by neurons within the mouth
.Decrrese in blood pressure detected by bararoarceptors in the blood vessels
.Incresae in blood osmorality
When the thirst centre is stimulated it will cause fluid seeking behaviour leading to fluid intake
.
What is a fliud
A substance, such as a liquid or gas, that can flow, has no fixed shape, and offerslittle resistance to an external stress
electrolyte
Electrolytes are minerals in your body that have an electric charge. They are in your blood, urine, tissues, and other body fluids. Electrolytes are important because they help:
Balance the amount of water in your body
Balance your body’s acid/base (pH) level
Move nutrients into your cells
Move wastes out of your cells
Make sure that your nerves, muscles, the heart, and the brain work the way they should
how much water do adults have in their body
55% - 60%
how much water does a baby have in their body
75%
Why do children have a greater water content compared to adults ?
Children are at a greater risk of dehydration than adults. This is because in relation to their size, children have a larger proportion of their skin available to lose sweat and be exposed to heat.
Body water content
Brain 80 - 85%
liver 70 - 75 %
lungs 75 - 80%
teeth 8 - 10 %
heart 75 - 80 %
bones 20 - 25%
kidneys 80 - 85%
muscles 70 - 75%
skin 70 - 75%
blood 50%
INTRA-CELLULAR FLUID (ICF)
Fluid within the cells = 42% of body weigh
Makes up about two-thirds of the total body water* Intracellular fluid has high concentrations of– Potassium– Phosphate– Magnesium ions*
Lesser amounts of– Sodium– Chloride– Bicarbonate ions
EXTRA- CELLULAR FLUID ECF
Fluid outside cells = 33% of body weight
Major components include the interstitial fluid and plasma* Extracellular fluids have highconcentrations of–
Sodium– Chloride– Bicarbonate ions*
Lesser amounts of– Potassium– Calcium– Magnesium– Phosphate, and sulphates ions
TRANS-CELLUALR (TCF)
Set of fluids that are outside of the normal compartments e.g., CSF, GI fluids, mucus, synovial fluids in joints
