Q

what are the 3 benefits of recruitment and distension

A
  1. decreased resistance causes decreased pressure
  2. decreases velocity of blood flow so more time for gas exchange
  3. increases surface area for gas exchange

28
Q

pulmonary stretch receptors

A

inhibitory, dont stop normal inspiration but stop overinflation of lungs

29
Q

chemoreceptors

A

stimulatory, detect increase in CO2, H+, and decrease in O2

30
Q

proprioceptors

A

stimulatory, dectect increase in muscle activity and joint movement

31
Q

what regulates breathing - decreased O2 or increased CO2

A

increased CO2

32
Q

things that stimulates central chemoreceptors

A

increased CO2 in blood
increased H+ in the interstitial fluid in the brain

33
Q

things that stimulate peripheral chemoreceptors

A

increased CO2 in blood
increased H+ in blood
decreased O2 blood

34
Q

clearance

A

volume of plasma/minutes needed to exrete the quantity of a substance appearing in the urine in a minutes time

35
Q

inulin

A

is filtered, not reabsorbed, and not secreted

36
Q

PAH is

A

filtered, not reabsorbed, completely secreted

37
Q

glucose is

A

filtered, completely reabsorbed, not secreted

38
Q

diabetes mellitus

A

glucose in urine, increse in urine volume

39
Q

proximal convoluted tubule absorption

A

70% of K+, Na+, H2O reabsorbed

40
Q

proximal convoluted tubule secretion

41
Q

loop of henle descending limb reabsorbs

42
Q

loop of henle ascending limb reabsorbs

A

Na+ and Cl- NOT WATER

43
Q

distal convoluted tubule reabsorbs

A

Na+ and Cl- NOT WATER

44
Q

aldosterone increases

A
  • protein synthesis
  • Na+/K+ pumps
  • Na+ reabsorptino
  • K+ secretion
45
Q

ADH increases

A

H2O reabsorption

46
Q

where is ADH made and released

A

hypothalamus, posterior pituitary

47
Q

what stimulates ADH release

A

high osmolarity in extracellular fluid
low blood volume

48
Q

what is inhibited during urination

A

alpha motor neuron to voluntary sphincter (sphincter relaxes)

49
Q

what is stimulated during urination

A

parasymp NS to detrusser muscle (destrusser contracts)

50
Q

what stimulates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

A

low extracellular fluid volume

51
Q

what does ANP do

A

lower blood pressure

52
Q

what do ADH, aldosterone, and angiotensin II all do

A

increase blood pressure

53
Q

what is the importance of concentrating urine

A
  • conserving water
  • can concentrate urine to the concentration of the intersitial fluid of the inner medulla
54
Q

what decreases ADH release

55
Q

countercurrent multiplication

A
  1. H2O reabsorbed from the descending loop of henle
  2. Na+, Cl-, but not H2O, reabsorbed from the asending limb of the loop of Henle
  3. Can create a 200 mOsm concentration gradient
  4. Creates concentrated interstitial fluid of the inner medulla
56
Q

Regulation of pH

A

buffers (within seconds)
respiratory system (within minutes)
renal system (days)

61
Q

what is respiratory alkalosis

A

low CO2
* cause: increased ventilation - high altitude

63
Q

granular cells

A

release renin

64

macula densa cells

A

detect increase in Na, Cl- in filtrate

65
Q

does constricting the afferent or efferent arteriole decrease filtration

66
Q

does constricting the efferent or afferent arteriole increase filtration

67

vitamin D3

A

involved in calcium regulation
activation occurs in proximal tubule cells

68
Q

erythropoeitin

A

stimulates production of RBCs in bone marrow
