Term
fluid protion of blood
Definition
plasma
Term
components of the extracellular fluid
Definition
lymph, ISF, and plasma
Term
comprises 2/3 of body fluid
Definition
ICF
Term
two fluids separated by cell membrane
Definition
ECF and ICF
Term
immediate environment around the cell
Definition
ISF
Term
fluid found outside the cell
Definition
ISF
Term
interstitial fluid contained in lymphatics
Definition
lymph
Term
direct alterations in volume and composition of this fluid are most important in homeostasis
Definition
plasma
Term
fluid found with in the cells
Definition
ICF
Term
sodium is a major cation here
Definition
ECF
Term
potassium is major cation here
Definition
ICF
Term
two fluids separated by blood vessel walls
Definition
plasma and ISF
Term
a drop in ECF fluid volume results in a what in plasma volume and a what in arterial blood pressure?
Definition
decrease, decrease
Term
look at chart on page 53!!
Definition
!!
Term
what is one other action of aldosteron eon the kidneys, in addition to stimulating tubular reabsorption of Na?
Definition
increases K+ and H+ in urine. increases Na+ and water absorption
Term
how does angiotensin II work to increase blood pressure?
Definition
vasoconstriction of afferent arterioles
Term
what is angiotensin II's effect on thirst?
Definition
stimulates thirst in the hypothalamus
Term
how does angiotensin II contribute to homeostasis?
Definition
increases BP until back to normal
Term
explaine how greater Na reabsorption by kidney tubules leades to grether water reabsorption?
Definition
Na holds additional water. water follows Na.
Term
the main hormone incluencing ECF is what?
Definition
aldosterone
Term
aldosterone acts on ___reabsorption in the _____ of the nephron
Definition
Na+ collecting ducts
Term
what hormone regulates potassium secretion?
Definition
aldosterone
Term
higher than normal K (hyperkalemia) in the ECF stimulates the ____ to secrete aldosterone.
Definition
adrenal cortex
Term
aldosterone stimulates potassium secretion where?
Definition
principle cells of the nephron.
Term
besides affecting potassium secretion, aldosterone also stimulates ____ reabsorption
Definition
Na+ Cl H2O
Term
page 56 number 4
Definition
Term
what portion of the nephron is affected by increased Ca reabsorption
Definition
glomerulus
Term
what is a buffer system?
Definition
prevent rapid, drastic changes in the pH of body fluids by converting strong acids and bases to weak acids and bases.
Term
increased acidity (H+) in ECF stimulates chemoreceptors and do what to breathing rate, CO2 in ECF and acidity?
Definition
increase breathing rate
decreased CO2 in ECF
decreaed acidity (H+)
Term
decreased acidity (H+) in ECF stimulates chemoreceptors and do what to breathing rate, CO2 in ECF and acidity?
Definition
decreased breathing rate
increased CO2 in ECF
increased acidity (H+)
Term
where are the receptors, control center and effectors of the reapiratory system located?
Definition
receptors-chemo receptors in medulla oblongata and peripheral in aortic and carotid bodies
control center-medulla oblongata
effectors-diaphragm (contracts more forcefully and frequently and more CO2 is exhaled)
Term
when pH of the ECF is too ___ tubular cells secrete H+ into the filtrate, this ___ the H+ concentration in the ECF na results in ___ urine.
Definition
high, decrease, acidic
Term
the normal range of pH of urine is what?
Definition
4.6-8
Term
what is acidosis?
Definition
acidemia. condition where blood pH is below 7.35
Term
differentiate the 2 types of acidosis
Definition
respiratory (increase Pco2 and inadequate respiration) metabolic (toomuch lactic acid or ketone bodies, kidney failure)
Term
what is alkalosis?
Definition
alkalemia. condition where blood pH is higher than 7.45
Term
differentiate two types of alkalosis
Definition
repiratory (low Pco2 and over ventilation, like hyperventilation) metabolic (excessive decrease in H+, like from prolonged vomitting)
