WVSOM -- Flux of electrolytes and water

        Help!  

Question
Answer
How much fluid enters small intestine?   7-10L  
🗑
How much fluid enters colon?   600ml  
🗑
Whow much fluid is excreted?   100ml  
🗑
Where is most of the water absorbed?   small intestine  
🗑
In what is tehre a net absorption?   Na, Cl and water  
🗑
What is there a net secretion of?   K and HCO3  
🗑
What are the 5 mechanisms of Na reabsorption?   1. co-transport with sugars or amino acids 2. thru Na channels (colon) 3. Co-transport with Cl- 4. Counter-transport with H 5. Solvent drag (significant in duodenum and jejunum); less so elsewhere  
🗑
In the proximal bowel, what kind of transport predominates?   counter transport with H, and co-transport with solutes (sugars adn AA) predominates  
🗑
How is Cl absorbed in teh ileum?   along the electrical gradient  
🗑
What is Na co-transported with in the ileum?   Cl-  
🗑
What kind of exhange occurs in the distal ileum and increases in the colon?   chloride/HCO3-  
🗑
NA/H, Cl/HCO3 Counter transport   exchange occurs in the distal ileum and increases in the colon  
🗑
How is K absorbed in the small inetestine?   by passive diffusion thru paracellular spaces  
🗑
Where is there a net absorption and net secretion of K?   Net absorption in small intestine Net secretion in colon  
🗑
What is the primary mechanism of Na in the colon?   Na channels are under teh control of mineralocorticoids (aldosterone).  
🗑
What happens to K in the colon?   can be absorbed or secreted depending on the luminal content.  
🗑
What does aldosterone do?   Promotes Na absorption and K secretion. Increases Na channel activity, K channel activity and increases activity of the basolateral Na/K pump  
🗑
What is K secretion dependent on?   increased flow rate increases K secretion as in diarrhea  
🗑
Where is most water absorbed?   small intestine  
🗑
What is the major source of water adn electrolytes in diarrheic stool   small intestine  
🗑
Why does rpolonged diarrhea result in hypokalemic metabolic acidosis?   Because of teh secretion of K and the exchange of Cl for HCO3 in the colon  
🗑
What does cAMP, cGMP, and CA++ do to K secretion?   increases K secretion  
🗑
How do Epsom salt laxative work?   Hypertonic in the colon and thus draws water into the gut.  
🗑
Name two conditions that could lead to an osmotic diarrhea and explain how this happens.   Lactase deficiency and protozan. Things that will destroy the brush border and wipe out the enzymes needed for carbohydrate and protein digestion leaving the stuff in the gut lumen.  
🗑
Give examples where cAMP, cGMP and Ca++ can open the Cl channel at the apical membranes.   CFTR Prancreatic ductal Cl- channels Cl- channels in colon  
🗑
What are normal secretogues?   ACH (inc. Ca) Secretin and VIP (inc. cAMP)  
🗑
What are abnormal secretogues   Cholera (inc. cAMP) E. coli (inc. cAMP)  
🗑
Oral rehydration therapy   utilizes the co-transport of Na with solutes (sugar and AA) to increase water absorption in the small intestine.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
