kidney acid/base homeostasis

        Help!  

Question
Answer
filtration of several substances that affect the ph of body fluids. Name them.   H+, Hco3, co2, H2Po4 and other fixed acids  
🗑
Renal tubules selectively reabsorb and secrete these acids and bases to fine-tune the pH of the   plasma  
🗑
route of filtration of acids/bases that the pH of body fluids takes in renal control of pH   from the glomerular capillaries into the glomerular capsule  
🗑
When the amount of base increases in the body   If the plasma PH is too high, bicarbonate HCo_3 is filtered at the glomerulus but it is not reabsorbed. HCo-3 goes into the urine and is eliminated by the body  
🗑
As HCO-3 (bicarbonate) is eliminated from the body, what happens to the pH of the plasma?   pH decreases, as more base is eliminated acid will increase and pH will decrease  
🗑
When the acid in the body increases,   there are 3 major ways that the kidney tubules regulate the pH of body fluids activate  
🗑
The three major ways that the kidney tubules regulate the pH of the body fluids   Reapsorption of HCo3, generating hco-3 by the kidney tubule cells, secretion of H+  
🗑
Renal mechanisms for acid/base control are the   slowest, may take hours or days  
🗑
Renal mechanisms for acid/base control allow for elimination of the ________ ________ from the body   fixed acids  
🗑
Fixed acids are   Metabolic acids generated in the body that are elimated in the urine. Carbonic acid is not a fixed acid because it can be elimated via the lungs.  
🗑
when does new bicarbonate become added to the plasma, when the pH increases and new buffering power is added to the plasma   when acid in the body increases  
🗑
three major ways that the kidneys combat acidosis   Conserving (reabsorbing) of HCO3-, generating HCO3-, Secreting H+  
🗑
The kidneys combat acidosis by conserving (reabsorbing) HCO3- in the _____   PCT (proximal convoluted tubule)  
🗑
The more co2 in the plasma as in the case of ______ ________ the faster it enters the cell   respirtory acidosis  
🗑
Conserving (reabsorbing) HCO3-   CO2 arrives at the kidney tubule cell in the PCT from the filtrate, or plama, or from metabolic reactions within the cell.  
🗑
With the PCT cell, co2 and h2o form   h2co3  
🗑
the h2co3 splits into h+ and   and bicoarbonate  
🗑
the H+ moves into the filtrate in exchange for Na+ thru a na+/H+   antiport system  
🗑
Antiport transport protein   A membrane-bound protein that will transport one substance in one direction in exchange for another specific substance moved in the other direction.  
🗑


   

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.
