Q

which of the following is NOT a partial compensation for fluid loss

a. A retention of water from the kidney that can actually in some case cause a hypo-osmotic plasma (< 290 mOsm/kg H 2 O)

b. The increase in sympathetic nervous stimulation of the kidney acting on Beta receptors on the JG cells increase the release of rennin and thus angiotensin II

c. An increase in the permeability of the collecting duct to urea to facilitate the osmotic gradient in the interstitial fluid of the kidney

d. A massive vasoconstriction occurs that essentially block blood flow to the kidneys in order to shunt blood to more important organs such as heart and brain.

Q

describe the indirect effects of increasing PO2

A

increased PO2 will cause Hb that is bound protons or CO2 at the tissues to release CO2 at the lungs (haldane)

carbaminohemoglobin formed at the tissues by the relative lack of oxygen will dissociate with increased PO2

both increase the Hb affinity for O2, which will increase O2 loading

vasoconstriction

decrease in both

404
Q

where is atrial natriuetic peptide produced

BNP?

A

the atria

the ventricles

405
Q

how is PAH used to test renal blood flow

A

PAH IV is given

PAH is filtered almost completely bt the kidney

the clearance of PAH divided by the extraction of PAH is an indirect measure of the RPF

406
Q

what are the three hormones secreted by the kidneys

A

renin, calcitrol, erythropoietin

407
Q

normal vital capacity

408
Q

T/F O2 binding to hemoglobin is non-reversible

409
Q

lung compliance formula

A

lung compliance = deltaV/delta(Palv - PIP)

410
Q

Alveolar ventilation (VA) defintion and equation

A

the amount of air that reaches the alveoli in one minute

VA = f(VT - VD)

411
Q

what is the purpose of gas exchange

A

to take CO2 out of blood and replace it with O2

to collect CO2 from cells and replace it with O2

412
Q

between what MAP does renal blood flow remain constant

what happens to GFR in this range

A

80-180

it remains basically the same

413
Q

Henry’s Law

A

the quantity of gas that will dissolve in a liquid is proportional to the the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid and its solubilty coefficient

414
Q

how can the kidneys regulate blood pressure

A

regulate water and Na reabsorption

producing renin for the RAA cycle

415
Q

how does 2,3 - BPG(DPG) affect Hb affinty for O2

A

it binds to deoxygenated Hb to stop O2 from rebinding at the cells to allow for more O2 delivery tocells

416
Q

vital capacity defintion and equation

A

the total amount of air moved during forced inspiration or expiration

VT + ERV +IRV

417
Q

what are some buffered forms of hydrogen formed in the renal tubules that are in urine

a. Titratable acid such as phosphate (monobasic)
b. Water a byproduct of the addition of hydrogen and biocarbonate through action with carbonic anhydrase
c. Ammonium ion by the addition of the hydrogen ion to ammonia generated by the catabolism of glutamine
d. All of the above are forms of the hydrogen ion in excreted urine

A

d. All of the above are forms of the hydrogen ion in excreted urine

418
Q

collapsing pressure

A

the pressure needed to collapse alveoli

419
Q

what diuretics act on the DCT

420
Q

partial pressure

A

the pressure exerted by one gas in a mixture

421
Q

what is the respiratory zone

A

respiratory broncioles and alveli

422
Q

glycosylation

how would you assess this in a patient

A

a reaction in the glycoproteins on the basement membrane that decreases their ability to repel anionic proteins

HbA1c levels or fasting glucose, along with albumin in the urine

423
Q

Transpulmonary pressure

A

the combined force fo negative intrapleural pressure and elastic chest wall recoil that acts to expand the chest wall

424
Q

describe how PP O2 changes throughout the body

A

air starts at 160mmHg

alveoli –> pulmonary veins –> systemic arteries steady at 100 mmHg

decreases to around 40 mmHg at cells

maintains 40mmHg through venous circulation back to heart

425
Q

where does reabsorpton of NaCl happen in the loop of henle

where does it not occur

A

the thick and thin loops

no the descending limb

426
Q

why does there need to be high hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capillaries

A

because there need to be pressure to push all the filtrates out of blood

427
Q

what are the three anatomical strucutures of the filtration barrier in the renal corpus

A

fenestrated epithelium

basement membrane

podocyte from bowmans capsule

428
Q

what happens in the chest wall during inspiration

A

motor neuron stimulation

inspiratory muscles contract

chest wall expands

429
Q

what is the function of renin

A

renin promotes the production of angiotensinogen from the liver, which is converted to angiotensin in the kidneys

430
Q

what is the indirect effect of peripheral chemo receptors

A

detects decreased PO2 (below 60mmHg) and sends signals to CPG

431
Q

what is the effect of PO2 on smooth muscle in the lungs

A

it will act on the pulmonary arterioles to regulate Q

432
Q

by what two methods is oxygen transported in blood

A

dissolved in plasma

bound to hemoglobin

433
Q

where would a right shift (decreased oxygen affinity) be useful

why

what about left shift

A

at the cells

so O2 will dissociate from Hb

at the lungs, because you want to maximize O2 saturation

434
Q

boyles law equation and meaning

A

P1V1 = P2V2

as volume increases, pressure decreases, and vice versa

435
Q

T/F obstruction doesn;t change vital capacity

436
Q

what is the process of exretion of organic anions into the tubules

A

intracellular ketogluterate is exchanged into the tubular fluid for OA with OAT1, 2, 3

ketoglutarate in the tubule fluid is exchanged with OA by OAT4 and MRP2

437
Q

Gitelman’s syndrome is a genetic defect that affects the thiazide sensitive Na + /Cl - symporter in the distal convoluted tubule.

Which of the following would be observed in these patients?

a. Salt wasting
b. Hypokalemia
c. Hypocalcuria
d. All of the above would be observed in a patient with Gitelman’s syndrome

A

d. All of the above would be observed in a patient with Gitelman’s syndrome
