Q

What is the intrinsic control that occurs when you exercise?

A

Background: When you exercise, your muscle uses more oxygen
Intrinsic control: vasodilation
1) Nerves in the walls of blood vessels release acetylcholine
2) Acetylcholine binds to chemoreceptors on endothelia cell
3) Activates NOS(Nitric oxide synthase), that converts arginine into NO
4) NO binds to guanylyl cyclase on smooth muscle cells, relaxing it by opening up the lumen of blood vessel
5) resulting in dilation of blood vessels.

Q

Name the 5 parts of negative feedback and what they do

A
  1. stimulus- the change that happens
  2. sensory receptors-cells detect
    stimulus
  3. integrator- brain or whatever processes info
  4. effector- muscle or gland that elicits a response
  5. response- system output signals (counteracts stimuli)

Q

What are the three ways our body transmit signals?

21
Q

Sensory transduction involves _ that is converted to _

A

stimulus, action potential

22
Q

Explain how our retina is an example of sensory transduction

A

Sensory cells in the retina detect stimulus(light) and is converted into electrical impulses(action potential) that are
transmitted along axons to the central nervous system

23
Q

what is the difference between endocrine signaling and signal transduction

A

endocrine-> long distances in the body (blood stream)
signal transduction-> from cell to surrounding cells

24
Q

where do baroreceptors send signals to?

A

brainstem

25
Q

What are baroreceptors?

A

Neurons involved in the heart, are sensitive to changes in blood pressure. They do so by detecting electrical impulses caused by the stretching of blood vessels. they relay action potential(AP) to the brainstem.

26
Q

what is postural hypotension?

A

bp falls when you stand up causing baroreceptors to decrease in their firing

27
Q

How is homeostasis restored in postural hypotension?

A

Baroreceptors strectched less and the rate of AP to the brainstem decreases which increase cardiac output and blood pressure rises

28
Q

where do chemoreceptors send their info to?

A

brainstem. some of them are even located there

29
Q

where do osmoreceptors send their information to?

A

hypothalamus

30
Q

Differentiate b/w hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic

A

isotonic: outside=inside
hypertonic: outside > inside, water moves out of cell causing shrinking aka crenation
hypotonic: inside> outside, water move into cell and cell gets swollen

31
Q

Explain the signal pathway that causes you to get thirsty.

A
  1. osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus detects increase in solvent concentration in ECF aka dehydration
  2. The hypothalamus stimulates thirst
32
Q

Explain the signal pathway caused by dehydration. (involves ADH)

A

1.the hypothalamus stimulates the posterior pituitary to releases antidiuretic hormone(ADH)
2.ADH makes the kidney reabsorb water, reducing urinary output
(makes the distal convoluted tubules permeable to water)

33
Q

Osmoreceptors detect changes in _

A

osmotic pressure;
the minimum pressure that must be applied to a solution to halt the flow of solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane

34
Q

Distal convoluted tubule

A

portion of kidney nephron

35
Q

The bicarbonate buffering reaction regulates?

A

PH homeostasis, maintaining blood pH between 7.35-7.45

36
Q

What is the what is the pH buffering equation?

A

CO2 + H2O <->H2CO3(carbonic acid)
<->HCO3-(bicarbonate) + H+

37
Q

Acidosis is related to _

A

pH buffering equation

38
Q

What are the three kinds of acidosis discussed in this class?

A

Respiratory acidosis
Keto acidosis
Metabolic acidosis

39
Q

Respiratory acidosis

A

decreased respiration causes increased blood carbon dioxide, pH buffering equation shows the rise of CO2 results in the rise of H+ making PH more acidic and decreasing PH

40
Q

An example of respiratory acidosis is

A

COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-poor airflow as a
result of breakdown of lung tissue or irritation of the trachea and
bronchioles leading to inflammation (smoking)

41
Q

metabolic acidosis

A

Can occur if the nephrons in kidneys are not removing enough acid (H+)from the body.

42
Q

what is a nephron

A

the functional unit of a kidney

43
Q

What might cause metabolic acidosis?

A

kidney failure

44
Q

keto acidosis

A

Body fails to adequately regulate ketones;
accumulation of keto acids decreases blood pH

45
Q

Ketones are

A

bi-products of fatty acid breakdown, eg. acetone, acetoacetic acid

46
Q

What are two examples of keto acidosis?

A

Diabetics (type 1): lack of insulin, no glucose absorption, so the body switches to fatty acid metabolism, get ketones

Alcoholic ketoacidosis
alcohol blocks the first step of gluconeogenesis, the body doesn’t synthesize enough glucose, fatty acid metabolism, get ketones

-Accumulation of keto acids decreases blood pH

47
Q

Accumulation of keto acids___

A

decrease blood pH

48
Q

what is gluconeogenesis?

A

metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids.

49
Q

How does hyperventilation restore pH homeostasis?

A

Alkalosis
Release of CO2(breathing), shifts pH buffering equation to the right, meaning more H+ is being used, raising pH if it was too acidic beforehand

50
Q

When you hyperventilate, why do people say to breath into a bag?

A

hyperventilate you lose lots of CO2, by breathing into bag you inhale CO2 back to help restore levels
