🗑
ICF vs ECF TBW%s?   ICF is 2/3 of TBW; ECF is 1/3 of TBW (plasma & intersitium)  
🗑
Changes in plasma tonicity cause changes in ________?   cell volume  
🗑
AVP affects?   urinary free water excretion  
🗑
What structure has tonicity receptors?   hypothalamus to changes in tonicity  
🗑
What is AVP?   arginine vasopressin, A.k.a. antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Made in hsupraoptic & paraventricular nuclei of hypothalamus, Carried via axonal transport dwon pituitary stalk to posterior hypophysis for storage  
🗑
What makes renal interstium hypertonic?   Na pumps cause absorption of salt in ascending limb, which is NOT permeable to water.  
🗑
Effect of urea on cell volume?   None. It freely crosses cell membranes and does not change volume  
🗑
Effect of glucose on cell volume?   None. It freely crosses cell membranes and does not change volume  
🗑
Effect of saline on cell volume?   hypertonic saline decreases cell volume by acting as effective osmoles facilitating water movement from cells that leads to cell shrinkage/less cell volume.  
🗑
What are non-osmotic stimuli for vasopressin release?   decreased effective circulating volume (CHF, cirrhosis, vomiting) need to release of vasopressin by causing discharge from parasympathetic afferent nerves in carotid sinus baroreceptors. Also: nausea, Post op pain, Pregnancy  
🗑
Higher vasopressin levels are achieved with what physiologic changes?   7% decrease in volume vs. hyper osmolality  
🗑

🗑
Correction of hypoNa with KCL?   400 mMol KCl ~ 3% NaCl

🗑
Furosemide is dependent on ____ for its biological action.   adequate plasma albumin. It is 95% albumin bound, which is component that reaches proximal tubule to then gain entry into tubular lumen. Low alb causes less furosemide to enter tubular lumen + has higher vol distribution.

🗑
How do thiazide diuretics work to Treat NDI?   thiazides + low sodium diet inhibit salt re absorption in DCT causing mild vol depletion. Hypovolemia then stimulates fluid resorption in proximal tubule thereby lowering H20 delivery to AVP sensitive sites in DCT.
