Q

Hypotonic hydration

A

water intoxication- Sweating a lot replacing H2O but not electrolytes
Leads to hyponatremia (Low Na+)

16
Q

Greatest electrolyte loss is how

A

occurs as a result of kidney function and urine production

17
Q

Regulation of electrolyte output

A

Aldosterone:
Produced in the adrenal cortex (outer part) hormone
Increase sodium ion reabsorption and potassium ion secretion at the same time

18
Q

5 Sources of H+ cations in the body

A

Aerobic respiration of glucose
Anaerobic respiration of glucose
Incomplete oxidation of fatty acids
Oxidation of amino acids containing sulfur
Hydrolysis of phosphoproteins and nucleic acids

19
Q

Aerobic respiration of glucose

A

CO2 is produced

20
Q

Anaerobic respiration of glucose

A

Formation of lactic acid

21
Q

Incomplete oxidation of fatty acids

A

Formation of acidic ketone bodies

22
Q

Oxidation of amino acids containing sulfur

A

Formation of sulfuric acid

23
Q

Hydrolysis of phosphoproteins and nucleic acids

A

Formation of phosphoric acid

24
Q

The 3 chemical buffer systems (H+ regulation)

A

temporary & fast; first line of defense

Bicarbonate buffer system: HCO3-
Phosphate buffer system: seen in urine formation
Protein buffer system: albumins and hemoglobin

25
Q

The 2 physiological buffer systems (H+ regulation)

A

longer-term & slow; second line of defense - need to eliminate the excess acid or base
Respiratory System (lungs): several minutes
Urinary System (kidneys): 1-3 days
Excretion of H+ ions

26
Q

Respiratory acidosis

A

increase of CO2 decreases the pH
Increased carbonic acid
Labored breathing
can result from injury to the brainstem, alveolar obstruction, diseases (PNA, emphysema)

27
Q

Acid-Base PH range

A

Normal pH range in blood: 7.35-7.45
Survival range in blood: 6.8-8.0

28
Q

Respiratory acid

A

carbonic acid

29
Q

Respiratory alkalosis

A

decrease of CO2 increases the pH
decreased carbonic acid
Factors that can lead to this are anxiety, salicylates (aspirin) poisoning, fever, high altitudes

30
Q

Alkalosis PH

A

Above 7.45

31
Q

Acidosis PH

A

below 7.35

32
Q

Metabolic acidosis

A

accumulation of acids other than carbonic: uremic acids, ketoacidosis (improper oxidation of fatty acids or the loss of bases: prolonged diarrhea

33
Q

Metabolic alkalosis

A

Loss of hydrogen ions and gain of bases
Loss of H+: gastric lavage and excessive vomiting, diuretic drug use
Gain of bases: antacids (like sodium bicarbonate)

34
Q

Compensation

A

resistance to a shift in pH (chemical & physiological)

If the the problem is respiratory acidosis due to pulmonary disease, the respiratory system is not able to take part in the compensation.

35
Q

Gonads

A

the organs that produce sex hormones and gametes -Testes and Ovaries

36
Q

Gametes

A

sex cells (eggs/sperms)

37
Q

Diploid

A

46 chromosomes (23 pairs)

38
Q

Haploid

A

23 chromosomes

39
Q

Hypotonic dehydration

A

Losing more electrolytes than water (diarrhea, vomiting)
