Cards

Term
Amounts of water based on gender, age and body composition
Definition
160lb man: 99lb W, 27 lb protein, 24 lb fat, 10lb mineral and glycogen
62% water, 17%protein, 15%fat, 6% minerals
boys have more lean tissue &less fat than girls
Term
Function of Water
Definition
-resistance to temp change(heat capacity)
- cooling
- body fluids
- pH balance
- chemical rxns
Term
Function of sweating
Definition
water lost thru sweating
Term
Intracellular vs. Extracellular fluid
Definition
Intracellular: 2/3 of total fluid, K+ & HPO42 are predominant electrolytes
Extracellular: 1/3 of fluid(interstital and plasma)Na+ and Cl- predominant
Term
Renin and Angiotension
Definition
Renin:secreted by kidney in response to decreased bp
- hydrolyzes angiotension to angiotension I, then converted to angio II
Angiotension II: vasoconstrictor, increases bp & stimulates adrenal cortex to release aldosterone
Term
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
Definition
ADH: stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb water, reducing urine
Term
Supression of ADH
Definition
alcohol & caffeine are diuretics that suppress ADH production
Term
Muscle Contraction & electrolyte role
Definition
calcium in blood and soft tissues is important for muscle contraction
-
Term
Who controls fluid intake?
Definition
hypothalamus
Term
Minerals and effect on blood pressure
Definition
Na: increases bp
K+: decreases bp
Term
Osmotic Pressure & Fluid Movement
Definition
water moves across cell memb to equalize concentrations of dissolved particles
concentration inside is higher, water goes inside to =, vice versa
Term
Storage of Phosphorus
Definition
intracellular, stored in bone
Term
Chloride & Immune Function
Definition
highest concentration in extrecell
- maintain body's fluid balance
- prepares proteins for enzymatic digestion
- white blood cells use Cl to form chem weapon to kill invading bacteria
- involved in nerve impulse transmission
Term
Regulation of blood calcium
Definition
Low Ca: PTH released,activates vitamin D, cause kidneys to retain more Ca, release Ca, Ca absorption
Term
Peak Bone Density Achievement
Definition
-reached before age of 30
- advantageous to get high peak bone mass thru proper nutrition and exercise
- leads to stronger skeleton and protect against osteoporosis
- decrease at 40 yrs bc reabsorption exceeds new bone formation
Term

Lactation:produce milk
Prolactin:hormone resp for synthesis milk,toward end of preg
