| Includes insensible water loss, water loss from food residues in feces, and sensible water loss in urine | Obligatory water loss |
| The solute concentration and volume depends on_______, _______, and ___________________. | intake, diet and water loss via other avenues (sweating, bleeding) |
| Influence of ADH on water output. | ADH loss--water is not reabsorbed in collecting ducts and diluted urine passes.ADH increase-nearly all filtrated water is reabsorbed and volume of concentrated urine is excreted. LOW ECF osmoality inhibits ADH. |
| Three water inbalances | dehydration, hypotonic hydration, and edema |
| Dehydration: | water output exceeds intake over a period of time; negative fluid balance |
| Hypotonic Hydration: | ECF get diluted, overhydration of cells |
| Edema: | atypical accumulation of fluids in the IF, tissue swelling (CHF and lymphatic issues) |
| Refers to the salt balance in the body. | electrolyte balance |
| Salts control __________ movement, and provide...... | fluid movement, minerals essential for excitability, secretary activity and membrane permeability. |
| Salts enter the body from | foods and fluid and generated from metabolic activity. |
| Salt are lost from | perspiration, feces and urine |
| Sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride are ______% of all solutes in the ECF. | 90-95 |
| Normal plasma concentration of sodium | 142 mEq/L ** Most abundant cation in the EDF and the only one exerting significatn osmotic pressures. |
| A change in plasma sodium levels affects: | BV, BP, ICF, and IF volumes |
| Describe the influence of adlosterone on sodium balance. | Has the most to say, and when there is an increase, all remaining filtered Na+ is actively reabsorbed and promotes both sodium and water retention. |
| Describe the influence of cardiovascular baroreceptors on sodium balance. | stephanie....finish this one up. It has to do with influencing K+ and filtrate. |
| Describe the influcnce of ANP on sodium balance. | It reduces BP and BV by inhibiting nearly all events that promote vasoconstriction and Na+ and water retention. It also has a potent diaretic effect. |
| Describe the effcts of the female sex hormones on sodium balance. | glucocortisoles--enchance sodium retention. Estrogens enhance NaCl reabsorption by the rneal tubules. Also dcauses edema during pregnancy. Progesterone decreases ssodium and has a diaretic effect. |
| Major cation in ICF? | K+ |
| results from too much potassium in the ECF, disrupting cardiac conduction | hyperkalemia |
| resutls from too little potassium in the ECF disrupting cardiac conduction | hypokalemia |
| potassium balance is regulated by the | collecting ducts |
| filtered potassium reabsorbs in the proximal convoluted tubules | 60-80% |
| filtered potassium reabsorbtion the loops of Henle | 10% |
| potassium is lost in urine | 10% |
| Renal principal cells which regulate potassium secretation in the cortical collecting tubules are called.... | intercalated cells (type A) |
| Describe the influence of plasma potassium on the potassium balance. | Rich K+ diet: promotes secretion K into filtrate. Poor K+ diet: depresses K secration by collecting ducts. |
| Describe the influence of aldosterone on potassium balance | 2nd factor influencing K+ secretion into filtrate. |
| 99% of body calcium exists as | calcium phosphate salts in bones |
| Ionic calcium in ECF is important for: | normal blood clotting, cell membrane permeability secretary behavior, and neuromuscular activity |
| Hypocalcemia | increases excitability resulting in muscle tetany--abnormally low amounts of calcium in the blood |
| Hypercalcemia | inhibits neurons and muscle cells resulting in cardiac arrhythmias--an excess of calcium in the Blood. |
| Under normal conditions, __% of filtered calcium is reabsorbed due to PTH or ... | 98%, parathyroid hormone. |
| Describe what happens in bones when plasma levels of calcium fall. | PTH activates oseoclasts which break down bone matrix, release of Ca2+ and Hpo42 to the blood. |
| Describe what happens in small intestines when plasma levels of calcium fall. | enhances absorption of Ca2+ indirectlyu by stimulating the kidneys to transform vitamin D to active form, necessary for Ca2+_ absorption in small intestine |
| Describe what happens in kidneys when plasma levels of calcium fall. | PTH increases CA2+ absorption in rental tubes and lowers phosphate absorption; prevents calcium salts deposits in bones or soft body tissues |
| How the body reguations anions. | anion--negative charged. chloride follows sodium out of filtrate or into capillary blood through coupled transport. |
| All functions of the body are influenced by_____ due to hydrogen bonds. All biochemical reactions are influenced by __________. | H+ concentration; pH of fluid movement |
| Normal pH of arterial blood | 7.4 |
| Normal pH of venous blood | 7.35 |
| Normal pH of ICF | 7.0 |
| Increased pH of parterial blood (above 7.45) | alkalosis/alkalemia |
| Decreased pH of parterial blood (below 7.35) | acidosis/acidemia |

| Acids | proton donors |
| Strong Acids | dissociate completely in water and dramatically change the pH of a solution |
| Weak Acids | partially dissociate thereby preventing pH changes |
| Bases | proton acceptors |
| Strong bases | dissociate easily and quickly tie up hydrogen |
| Weak bases | are slow to accept protons |
| Describe the bicarbonate buffer system | Mixture of carbonic acid and its salt, sodium and bicarbonate in the same solution. If a strong acid..need a weak base. If a strong base...need a weak acid. |
| Phosphate buffer system | very similiar to bicarbonate buffer system, it is most effective in urine and ICF. |
| Protein buffer system | Amino groups (carboxyl groups) which dissociate to release H+ when pH rises. Amine groups act like bases and accept H+. This prevents solutions from becoming too acidic. |
| Respiratory acidosis | decreased ventiliation to increase CO2 and lower pH (most common) |
| Respiratory alkalosis | hyperventilation, CO2 accumulates |
| Metabolic acidosis | low blood pH and HCO levels, too much alcohol or excessive diahhrea (2nd most common situation) |
| Metabolic alkalosis | increase blood pH and HCO3-, less common (vomiting and too many antacids) |
| Effects of acidosis | if pH falls below 7.0, coma or death |
| Effects of alkalosis | if pH rises above 7.8, nervous system overexcites, muscle tetany, extreme nervousness, convulsions, or even death. |
