Q 
RAAS system
(Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System)
A
  • Renin secreted by JGA in response to Low BP
  • Renin enters blood stream, causes conversion of Angiotensinogen to Angiotensin I
  • Angiotensin I (in lungs) converted to Angiotensin II (vasoconstrict)
  • Angiotensin II stimulates release of Aldosterone from Adrenal Cortex. (signals kidney to pull back Na, then fluid)

43
Q

How and why ADH released?

A

Hypothalmus activated Pituitary Gland to secrete ADH in response to hypovolemia. Low BP

1) LOW BP - JGA releases Renin
2) in BLOOD: Renin becomes Angiotensin
3) in LIVER: Angiotensin I meets ACE (Angiotensin converting enzyme)

Angiotensin I becomes Angeiotensin II

Angiotensin II (potent vasoconstrictor, as circulates though body. everywhere it touches vasoconstricts.

4) Angiotensin II RAISES BP (patient still needs fluids though)
5) Angiotensin II stimulates Adrenal gland to release ALDOSTERONE.
6) Aldosterone tells kidneys to take Na out of GF so water follows (see diagram in notes)

Emphysema (alveolar lose elasticity, stretch balloon)
Chronic Bronchitis (mucus plugs)
-Hypo ventilation: stroke, opiates, Mg OD

RENAL COMPENSATION
retains bicarbonate (HCO3)
65
Q

what neutralizes Carbonic Acid

A

Carbonic Anhydrase

66
Q

Respiratory Alkalosis

A

loosing too much CO2

CAUSES/PATIENTS

  • Ventilator patients

TREATMENT
re-breath CO2, paper bag

67
Q

Metabolic Acidosis

A

CAUSES

  • Loss of pancreatic bicarbonate (loss of alkaline, you will become acidic)
  • Diabetic KetoAcidosis

BODY COMPENSATION

  • Kidneys retain bicarbonate
  • automatically body starts Kussmul Respiration (respiratory compensation) prolonged breathing to get rid of excess CO2
68
Q

Diabetic KetoAcidosis (what is happening)

A

see pic

  • if pancreas stops making insulin, cells die slowly.
  • cells become hungry because glucose in blood but no cells getting fed. the more the patient eats because the body said it’s hungry, the more glucose builds up in blood and doesn’t get to cells.

sugary blood attracts water causing

3Ps: Polyphagia (UP hunger), Polydypsia (UP thirst), Polyurea (UP urine)

69
Q

Gluconeogenesis

A

Gluconeogenesis (GNG) is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as pyruvate, lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids. While primarily odd-chain fatty acids can be converted into glucose, it is possible for at least some even-chain fatty acids.

SEE PIC

TriGlycerides (fats)

GLYCEROL
FA FA FA

Glycerol used to make sugar from brain because glucose ingested not being used to feed cells. When body removes top glycerol from triglyceride, the remaining Fatty Acids become ketones making system acidic.

A

2L/minute

75
Q

most common cause of Metabolic Acidosis

A

1) Diarrhea (loss of bicarbonate)
2) Diabetic KetoAcidosis (body uses glycerol to make glucose and leaves 3 Fatty Acids. Body does this because glucose in food is not being used to feed body and only sits in blood. (fruity breath)

76
Q

Body compensation for Metabolic Acidosis

A
  • Kidneys hold back bicarbonate to neutralize acid

- Kussmaul Respiration (prolonged exhale to get rid of excess CO2)

77
