flushed skin
shortness of breath

25
Q

lactic acidosis
diabetic ketoacidosis
aspirin overdose

causes what acid/base condition?

A

metabolic acidosis

26
Q

3 symptoms of metabolic alkalosis

A

slow breathing
altered mental status
vomiting

27
Q

excessive vomiting
antacid overdose
eating disorders

causes what acid/base condition?

A

metabolic alkalosis

28
Q

decrease in blood PH (increase in H+) that primarily has a respiratory component

A

respiratory acidosis

  • results from a systemic increase in CO2 level (retention)
  • almost always due to decrease or absent respirations due to respirations blowing of CO2
29
Q

to compensate for respiratory acidosis the body releases _______ from cells that can cause cardiac dysrhythmias

A

potassium ions

30
Q

________ are released from muscles in acidosis and can cause a decreasing level of consciousness and delayed nerve signal transit, resulting in sluggish pupils and delayed responses to painful stimuli

A

calcium ions

31
Q

increase in PH (decrease in H+) that primarily has a respiratory component

A

respiratory alkalosis

  • increase in exhalation of CO2
  • fast breathing
32
Q

in alkalosis, H+ leave the cells in an attempt to replenish whats lost, to compensate _______ move into the cells resulting in ______

A

calcium ions

hypocalcemia

  • calcium chloride 500-1000 mg repeat as needed for hypocalcemia
  • peds-20 mg/kg max 1G may repeat once
33
Q

symptoms of alkalosis due to hypocalcemia

A

carpal pedal spasms
tingling in lips/face
dizziness

34
Q

acidosis primarily from a metabolic disorder or ingestion.

A

metabolic acidosis

  • ingestion of a poison or intentional overdose or bodys usual acids overwhelm the system
  • bodys reaction to stress to acid it to produce more CO2 in the buffer system-the pt will then breathe faster to blow of CO2
35
Q

most common metabolic acidosis

A

DKA diabetic ketoacidosis

*occurs in pts who do not take any or enough insulin, causes cells to shift to using fatty acids for fuel in lieu of glucose

36
Q

occurs when the cells are not getting enough oxygen and shift to anaerobic respiration

A

lactic acidosis

37
Q

aspirin overdoses can lead to _______ due to an ingestion of an acid (salicylic acid)

A

metabolic acidosis

38
Q

deep rapid respirations

A

kussmaul

  • seen in metabolic acidosis
  • low ETCO2
39
Q

rarest of acid/base disturbances

A

metabolic alkalosis

*occurs when the body loses too much acid

40
Q

in metabolic alkalosis the body retains CO2 due to the buffer system and thus causes _______

A

reduced respirations

41
Q

most likely cause of metabolic alkalosis in the emergency setting is _________

A

excessive vomiting

*excessive OTC antacids can cause too much acid neutralization

42
Q

can be uni or multi cellular. contain a true nucleus enclosed in a membrane.

A

eukaryotic organisms

43
Q

prokaryotic cells do not contain a _______

A

nucleus

44
Q

within the nucleus, genetic material is encoded in ____ which is organized into ______

A

DNA

chromosomes

45
Q

pumping of protons from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space establishes the proton-motive force, ultimately these protons flow through _______ to generate _______ through oxidative phosphorylation

A

ATP synthase

46
Q

programmed cell death

A

apoptosis

47

49
Q

an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane.

A

lysosome

50
Q

a network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane. It usually has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.

A

endoplasmic reticulum

*rough and smooth

51
Q

a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, involved in secretion and intracellular transport.

A

golgi apparatus

52
Q

a small organelle present in the cytoplasm of many cells, which contains the reducing enzyme catalase and usually some oxidases.

A

peroxisomes

  • aids in the breakdown of very long chain fatty acids via beta oxidation
  • contain hydrogen peroxide
53
Q

provides structure to the cell and helps maintain the cells shape

A

cytoskeleton

54
Q

three components of a cytoskeleton

A

microfilaments
microtubules
intermediate filaments

55
Q

composed of solid polymerized rods of actin

A

microfilaments

*use ATP to generate force for movement by interacting with myosin such as in muscle contraction

56
Q

composed of hollow polymers of tubulin proteins

A

microtubules
