Q

Describe peripheral mechanism of correction of osmolarity

A

Thirst is stimulated peripherally by a direct effect of dryness of mouth may be by nerve endings in mouth affecting thirst center, this also explains why thirst can be temporarily relieved by drinking before water reabsorption.

Q

Describe conditions in change in ECF volume but not osmolarity

A
  1. Therapeutic IV injection of saline is associated with ECF volume inc (expansion) but the conc of solutes is still constant
  2. Hemorrhage or excess blood loss dec in volume but not osmolarity
    Change in osmolarity occurs only with loss or gain of pure water

Q

Why is the brain the most affected organ by inc osmolarity?

A

As the brain is enclosed in limited space (skull) so inc in osmolarity in ECF leads to brain cell shrinkage & dilatation of vessels which can rupture causing cerebral Hge

Q

Importance of glomeruli-tubular balance?

A
  1. Prevent overloading of DCT which would disturb its function
  2. Prevent inappropriate losses of Na+ & water in the urine

Q

Describe action & mechanism of sympathetic renal nerve activity

A

It dec Na+ excretion in urine & inc its reabsorption
Mech:
1. Reduces GFR by constricting aff arterioles dec filtered load
2. Inc renin secretion, ang II, and aldosterone formation
3. Dec hydrostatic pressure in PTC thus inc Na+ reabsorption by 2&3

Q

List actions of Ang II

A
  1. Causes VC
  2. Stimulates aldosterone & ADH secretion
  3. Stimulates thirst & salt appetite center
  4. Contraction of mesangial cells
  5. Inc Na+ reabsorption directly at PCT

Q

Describe actions of ANP

A
  1. Inhibition of Na+ reabsorption in DCT & CD
  2. Inhibition of renin, aldosterone & ADH
  3. Increasing GFR through dilating aff arterioles & relaxing mesangial cells
    Thus cause natriuresis & diuresis

Q

GR: ADH & thirst have limited role in ECF volume regulation

A

Beccause it will be stimulated if volume dec by 10%. On the other hand, it is stimulated by 1% inc in osmolarity.

17
Q

Mention homeostatic events that take place on changing ECF volume

A

If ECF volume dec, there is:
1. Dec GFR
2. Dec ANP & related peptides secretion
3. Dec discharge from high pressure & low pressure baroreceptors, inc sympathetic activation & inc thirst & ADH secretion
4. Activation of RAAS
5. Concentration of PPs which inc osmotic pressure & stimulates PCT Na+ reabsorption

18
Q

Normal plasma Na is….., K is…..

A

135-145 mEq/L
3.5-5.5 mEq/L

19
Q

Describe K reabsorption in thick ascending LH

A

25% of filtered K load is reabsorbed by:
1. Transcellular pathway via Na/K/2Cl cotransporter
2. Paracellular pathway due to inc luminal +ve charge

20
Q

Describe role of late DCT & CD in K+ regulation with different levels in diet

A
  1. In normal & high K+ intake: K+ is secreted by principal cells. These cells posses basolateral Na+/K+ ATPase pump which creates a conc gradient that favors movement of K+ from cell to lumen
  2. In low K+ intake: K+ is reabsorbed by intercalated cells that posses H+/K+ ATPase that secretes H+ to lumen & reabsorb K+ in electroneutral fashion, its activity inc in K+ depletion.
21
Q

List causes of hyperkalemia

A
  1. Cell lysis
  2. Hyperosmolarity
  3. Inhibition of Na/K pump (e.g. hypoxia)
  4. Acidosis
22
Q

List causes of hypokalemia

A
  1. Stmulation of Na+/K+ pump (insulin, b-agonists)
  2. Alkalosis
23
Q

List factors affecting K+ secretion & excretion

A
  1. Dietary K intake
  2. Aldosterone hormone
  3. Na+ reabsorption, as its amount reaching DCT inc, K secretion & excretion inc
  4. H+ reabsorption (compete for same transporter)
24
Q

Ca reabsorption parallels that of……

A

Na+

25
Q

The portion of Ca++ reabsorption that is subjected to hirmonal regulation is……in…..

A

8%
DCT

26
Q

Serum phosphate is……

A

2.5-4.5 mg%

27
Q

At the cellular level, phosphate is reabsorbed by…….

A

Na+-phosphate cotransporter

28
Q

Compared to other electrolyte, a high portion of PO4- - is reabsorbed

A

15-20% of filtered load is excreted
Because un-absorbed phosphate serves as a urinary buffer for H+ (called titratable acid)
