Pathophysiology Lecture 2 Exam 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Describe Hypotonic Alteration on a blood cell. | Sodium decreases in the ECF so there is a higher concentration of Na+ in the ICF. Therefore water moves into the cell causes extreme pressure on the RBC which may cause it to burst . |
| Describe Hypotonic Alteration on a body cell. | Sodium is decreases in the ECF so water moves into the cell causing the body cell to swell. |
| Describe Hypotonic Alteration on a neuron. | Sodium is decreased in the ECF so water diffuses to the inside of the neuron causing cell enlargement. |
| Describe Isotonic Alteration in a blood cell, body cell, and neuron. | Normal concentrations of sodium in the ECF are present so no change in shifts of fluid in or out the cells occur. |
| Describe Hypertonic Alteration in a blood cell. | Sodium levels increase in the ECF so the blood cell is shrunk due to loss of water from the ICF. |
| Describe Hypertonic Alteration in a body cell. | High Sodium levels cause water to leave ICF which shrinks the body cell. |
| Describe Hypertonic Alteration in a neuron. | Since water leaves the ICF to go to the higher concentration of Na+, the neuron shrinks due to water loss. |
| What are Isotonic Alterations? | proportionate changes in electrolytes and water. |

| What are some symptoms of hypovolemia in a hypertonic alteration?* | weight loss, weak pulses, postural hypotension, tachycardia |
| Hypertonic alterations shrink the ICF. What are some effects it has on the body from the ICF?* | thirst, fever, decreased urine output, brain cell shrinkage( confusion, coma, cerebral hemorrhage) |
| What are Hypotonic Alterations? | decreased ECF osmolality due to manipulation of Na+ or its diluent water; result is osmotic movement from ECF-ICF |
| What is Hyponatremia? | due to Na+ loss( inadequate intake; hypoaldosteronemia; excessive diuretic therapy) |
| What causes water excess? | excessive pure water intake( psychogenic disorder, water intoxication), excess iv hypotonic solution administration, water ingestion to replace isotonic fluid loss, tap water enemas, dec. urine formation/ renal water retention, SIADH |
| What does SIADH mean? | Syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion. |
| What are some symptoms of hypervolemia in patients hypotonic alterations?* | acute: cerebral edema with confusion and convulsions. chronic: weakness, nausea, weight gain, headache, muscle twitching |
| What are some symptoms of hypovolemia in hypotonic alterations?* | behavioral and neurological changes( lethargy, headache, confusion) |
| Hypotonic alterations inflate the ICF. What are some effect it has on the body from the ICF?* | brain cell swelling, systemic edema |
| What is Potassium Homeostasis? | Intake must equal excretion, regulated by kidney potassium excretion. |
| What does Potassium Homeostasis do?** | Maintains ICF osmolality, glycogen deposition in liver, skeletal muscle, resting membrane potential of nerve and muscle cells |
| What is K+ excretion governed by? | concentration gradients in kidney tubule cells, pH, electrical potential across distal kidney tubule, aldosterone, and insulin |
| What is Hypokalemia? | decreased K+ intake, increased K+ entry into cells, increased urinary K+ excretion |
| What is Alkalosis? | ECF K+ exchanges with ICF H+ to decrease ECF pH. It is when the body feels it is necessary to swap K+ with H+ instead of keeping the balance. |
| What all can result in Hypokalemia? | treatment of pernicious anemia, diarrhea, excess aldosterone secretion, antibiotics( gentamicin) |
| What are some symptoms of Hypokalemia? | Metabolic, renal, neuromuscular, and cardiac dysfunctions, treated by correction of underlying acid/base/ imbalance, ingestion of K+ rich foods, or intravenous replacement. |
| What is Hyperkalemia? | increased K+ intake; shift of K+ from ICF to ECF, decreased renal excretion |
| What can result in Hyperkalemia? | cell trauma, acidosis, cell hypoxia, burns, crush injuries, decreased aldosterone secretion |
| What are some symptoms of Hyperkalemia? | Muscle weakness, neuromuscular irritability, ECG changes, treated by sodium bicarbonate correction of acidosis, cation exchange resins |
| Increased plasma K+ has a direct effect on ______. This in turn increases ______ secretion which increases _______ _____________. | the adrenal cortex, aldosterone , plasma aldosterone |
| Increased plasma aldosterone increases __________ ____________ permeability to ____ and ____ and inc. basolateral membrane Na+/K+-ATP activity in __________ ______ principal cells. What does this do? | luminal membrane, Na+, K+, collecting duct. This increases K+ secretion which increases potassium excretion. |
