Q

May occur with eating salty food and drinking liquids at the same (=ingestion of hypertonic saline)

A

Increase volume and increase osmolarity
Need to excrete the solid and liquid to match what was taken in

Q

Drinking pure water without ingesting solute

A

Increase volume and decrease osmolarity
- kidneys cannot excrete pure water so some solute lost
- need behavioural mechanisms to bring salt in

Q

Eating salt without drinking water

A

No volume change, increase in osmolarity
- increases ECF osmolarity shifting water from cells to ECF
- thirst and kidneys produce concentrated urine

Q

Water and solutes lost in sweat but only water replace

A

No change volume, decrease in osmolarity
- can lead to hypokalemia
- sports drinks can replace both

Q

Dehydration due to heavy exercise or diarrhea

A

Decrease volume and increase osmolarity
- can lead to cell dysfunction
- increase water intake

Q

During severe dehydration decrease ECF volume would signal what

A

Increase aldosterone release but also increased osmolarity inhibits this
Osmolarity reigns and aldosterone not secreted

19
Q

What does CVCC cause during dehydration

A

SA node control shifts from parasympathetic to sympathetic

20
Q

What does sympathetic shift cause during dehydration

A

A. Force of ventricular contraction increases
B. increase peripheral resistance
C. vasoconstriction of afferent arterioles on kidney decreases GFR, conserves fluid
D. Activity at granular cells increases renin secretion

21
Q

What are the renal mechanism during dehydration

A

Decreased BP decreases GFR

22
Q

Renin-angiotensin mechanisms in response to dehydration

A

Paracrine feedback at macula dense cells cause granular cells to release renin
Granular cells respond to decreased BP and release renin

23
Q

What is hypothalamic mechanisms to dehydration

A

Decreased BP, volume, increased osmolarity, and increased AG II stimulate vasopressin and thirst center
ANGII reinforces CV response

24
Q

What do all the mechanisms to repair dehydration result in

A
  1. Rapid attempt by CVCC to maintain BP
  2. Restoration of water by conservation and fluid intake
  3. Restoration of osmolarity by decrease Na reabsorption and increase water reabsorption + intake
25
What is the pH of a solution
Measurement of H+ concentration
26
What is normal H+ concentration of arterial plasma
~0.00004 mEq/L very small
27
What is pH expressed as
Logarithmic pH scale of 0-14
28
What is pH 7
Neutral
29
Below 7.0 and H+ concentration greater than 1x10^-7
Acidic
30
Above pH of 7.0 and H+ below 1x10^-7 M
Alkaline (basic)
31
What is normal plasma pH of body
7.38-7.42, slightly alkaline
32
What sections of body can be very acidic
Gastric region 1.0-3.5 Urine 4.5-8.0
33
What are sensitive to pH changes
Intracellular proteins such as enzymes and membrane channels
34
what does the function of proteins depend on
Normal three dimensional structure
35
What do changes in H+ concentration result in
Disruptions in hydrogen bond altering structure and denaturing proteins
36
Very low pH (excess H+) can result in
Acidosis - CNS depression, confusion, coma
37
High pH, low H+ can cause
Alkalosis - hyperexcitability in sensory neurons and muscles - sustained respiratory muscle contraction
38
In day to day function what is the body challenged with pH balance
Intake and production of acids more than bases
39
What is acid input due to
Diet and acid production during metabolism
40
What is the largest source of acid
CO2 from aerobic metabolism
41
What three mechanisms does pH homeostasis depend on
1. Buffers (first line of Defense) 2. Ventilation (75% of disturbances) 3. Renal regulation of H+ and HCO3(slowest)
42
Buffer
Molecule that moderates, but does not prevent changes in pH by combining with or releasing H+
43
What does presence of buffers do
H+ is bound not contributing to pH
44
Where are buffers found
Within cells and in plasma
45
Intracellular buffers
Cellular proteins (hemoglobin), phosphate ions
46
What is the most important extracellular buffer
HCO3 (buffers h+ from non respiratory sources, no co2)
