23
Q

what does the proximal tubule reabsorb

A

24
Q

what is the source of aldosterone

A

adrenal cortex

25
Q

what is the function of aldosterone

A

increases sodium reabsorption and stimulates potassium secretion

26
Q

what is the major site of action of aldosterone

A

principal cells of cortical collecting ducts

27
Q

what do principal cells do

A

reabsorb Na+ and water from tubular lumen and secrete K+ into tubular lumen

28
Q

what do intercalated cells do

A

reabsorb K+ from tubular lumen and secrete H+ into tubular lumen

29
Q

when does acidosis occur

A

when the ratio of bicarbonate ion to carbon dioxide in extracellular fluid decreases

30
Q

when does metabolic acidosis occur

A

when there is a decrease in bicarbonate ion

31
Q

when does respiratory acidosis occur

A

when there is an increase in carbon dioxide

32
Q

what is the primary compensatory response for respiratory acidosis

A

increase in plasma bicarbonate ion due to addition of new bicarbonate by the kidney

33
Q

what is the primary compensatory response for metabolic acidosis

A

increase in ventilation rate

34
Q

define alkalosis

A

increase in ratio of bicarbonate to hydrogen ion concentration

35
Q

define respiratory alkalosis

A

decrease in carbon dioxide concentration (caused by hyperventilation)

36
Q

what is the compensatory response for respiratory alkalosis

A

reduction in plasma bicarbonate ion concentration caused by renal excretion of bicarbonate ion

37
Q

what is metabolic alkalosis caused by

A

rise in extracellular fluid bicarbonate concentration

38
Q

what is the compensatory response for metabolic alkalosis

A

decreased ventilation and increased renal bicarbonate ion excretion
