Renal Lec 1 Flashcards
renal means
anything to do with the kidneys
the most general function of kidneys
-process plasma, regulate composition and volume of plasma
kidneys regulate (specific) (4)
- blood volume and pressure
- water concentration and fluid volume
- inorganic ion composition
- acid-base balance
kidneys excrete
- urea, uric acid, creatinine, bilirubin
- remove foreign chemicals (drugs, food additives, pesticides)
uric acid is a metabolic product of
-nucleic acid (purines)
urea is a metabolic product of
-proteins
kidneys synthesize (1)
glucose (gluconeogenesis)
kidneys secrete (general)
- hormones
- enzymes
kidneys secrete (specific)
- erythropoietin (hormone)
- 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (hormone)
- renin (enzyme)
erythropoietin is a
- hormone produced by kidneys
- stimulates RBC production in response to cellular hypoxia
1,25-dihyrdoxy vitamin D is the
active form of vitamin D
also a hormone
Renin is an
enzyme that helps control blood pressure
adult male (70 kg) total body water (TBW)
42 L
TBW of adult male percentage of total body weight
60%
fluid volume in each compartments changes in
- health disorders
- by rapid movement of water (osmosis)
ICF (intracellular fluid) definition
fluid inside the cell
ECF (extracellular fluid) definition
fluid outside the cell
plasma defintion
liquid, non-cellular part of blood
fluid found inside blood vessels
ECF includes
plasma +interstitial fluid + cerebrospinal fluid
ICF percentage of TBW
40%
ECF percentage of TBW
20%
Interstitial fluid is majority of
ECF
key ions of body fluid compartments
Na+
K+
Na+ (majority in ICF or ECF)?
ECF
