If 140 liters of plasma are filtered in a day, and the filtration fraction is 20%: A. What is the renal plasma flow? B. If this person has a hematocrit of 30%[p. 517], what is the renal blood flow? C. If renal blood flow is 20% of this person's cardiac output, what is her cardiac output in L/min?

(a) 140 L/day is 20% of renal plasma flow (RBF), so plasma flow is 700 L/day. (b) Hematocrit is percent of blood occupied by packed red blood cells; the remainder (70%) is plasma. 700 L/day is 70% of RBF, so RBF is 1000 L/day. (c) If RBF is 20% of cardiac output (CO), then CO=5000 L/day or 3.47 L/min.

Liddle's syndrome is an inherited defect of apical ENaC sodium channels in P cells. It is characterized by high blood pressure and hypokalemia. A. Are the defective ENaC channel proteins increasing or decreasing apical Na+ movement? Explain and relate your answer to the characteristic hypokalemia. B. Liddle's syndrome is considered a form of pseudohyperaldosteronism {pseudo-, false}. What test(s) would you run to distinguish Liddle's syndrome from primary or secondary hyperaldosteronism?

(a) ENaC activity is increased, bringing more Na+ into the cell. This increases activity of the Na+-K+-ATPase, which pumps K+ into the cell. The K+ then leaks out the apical channels into the urine, resulting in increased excretion of K+ and hypokalemia. (a) Run aldosterone and ANG II levels. They will both be normal in Liddle's syndrome.

Mary Littlefeather arrives in her physician's office complaining of severe, steady pain in the upper right quadrant of her abdomen. The pain began shortly after she ate a meal of fried chicken, French fries, and peas. Lab tests and an ultrasound reveal the presence of gallstones in the common bile duct running from the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas into the small intestine. A. Why was Mary's pain precipitated by the meal she ate? B. Which of the following processes will be affected by the gallstones: micelle formation in the intestine, carbohydrate digestion in the intestine, and protein absorption in the intestine. Explain your reasoning.

(a) Ingestion of a fatty meal triggers contraction of the gallbladder to release bile salts, but the blocked bile duct prevented bile secretion, causing pain. (b) Micelle formation—decreased due to lack of bile salts. Carbohydrate digestion—decreased because pancreatic secretions with amylase not able to pass blockage. Protein absorption—decreased slightly because of low pancreatic secretion; however, brush border enzymes also digest protein, so digestion does not stop completely when the bile duct is blocked. Therefore, some digested proteins will be absorbed.

Karen has bulimia, in which she induces vomiting to avoid weight gain. When the doctor sees her, her weight is 89 lb and her respiration rate is 6 breaths>min (normal 12). Her blood HCO3 - is 62 meq>L (normal: 24-29), arterial blood pH is 7.61, and PCO2 is 61 mm Hg. (a) What is her acid-base condition called? (b) Explain why her plasma bicarbonate level is so high. (c) Why is she hypoventilating? What eff ect does this have on the pH and total oxygen content of her blood? Explain your answers.

Renal clearance is something that you can quantify if you know certain variables associated with the substance in question. Renal clearance is helpful in determining the glomerular filtration rate. The glomerular filtration rate will tell you the volume of blood that is filtered per unit time and will allow you to infer the efficiency of the kidney and its ability to properly filter the appropriate volume of blood on a daily basis. Renal clearance will also help you to determine how well the kidney processes a particular substance, which is especially important in the area of pharmaceuticals. Which of the following variables must be known in order to calculate the clearance of a substance?

-The excretion rate of the substance -The concentration of solute in the plasma

Ureters

Given, Usodium = 10 mmole/L, Psodium = 140 mmole/L, V = 1.4 ml/min, what is the clearance of sodium?

0.1 ml/min ********FURTHER EXPLANATION OF THE ANSWER ****** Given, Usodium = 10 mmole/L, Psodium = 140 mmole/L, V = 1.4 ml/min, the clearance = 0.1 ml/min. Ux = urine concentration of a substance Px = plasma concentration of a substance V = rate of urine flow The formula for calculating clearance is: Clearance = (Usodium) X (V) (Psodium) Substituting in the appropriate numbers, we get, Clearance = (10 mmole/L) X (0.0014 L/min) = 0.0001 L/min or 0.1 ml/min (140 mmole/L) The clearance is less than 140 ml/min. The formula for calculating plasma clearance is Clearance = (Usodium) X (V) (Psodium) The clearance is less than 10 ml/min. The formula for calculating clearance is Clearance = (Usodium) X (V) (Psodium)

115) List the four basic processes of the digestive system, and describe each.

: 1. Digestion is the chemical and mechanical breakdown of foods into smaller units. 2. Absorption is the active or passive transfer of substances from the lumen of the GI tract to the extracellular fluid. 3. Motility is the movement of material in the GI tract as a result of muscle contraction. 4. Secretion refers to both transepithelial transfer of water and ions from the ECF to digestive tract lumen and the release of substances synthesized by GI epithelial cells.

: 1. convert HCO3- into carbon dioxide, then back into HCO3- 2. through the metabolism of glutamine (see Fig. 20.17) Section Title: Acid-Base Balance Learning Outcome: 20.15

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 83) Diabetes mellitus produces many homeostatic imbalances, including acidosis. The pH imbalance is due to ketoacidosis, which results from excessive accumulation of by-products of fat metabolism, as the body cannot meet energy needs from carbohydrate metabolism. Sally is a teenaged diabetic who sometimes rebels by not taking her insulin. Her body is beginning to develop ketoacidosis as a result. Create a chart to indicate and explain how her blood pH, HCO3-, and PCO2 react, by indicating "increase," "decrease," or "no change." 1. ketoacidosis has just developed 2. respiratory compensation occurs 3. renal compensation occurs

: 1. pH decreases by definition, HCO3- decreases as the carbonic acid reaction shifts to the right, PCO2 is unchanged because the excess is expelled by the lungs due to the higher gradient. 2. pH increases and HCO3- decreases as exhaled CO2 drives the carbonic acid reaction to the right, and PCO2 decreases as it is exhaled. 3. pH increases as H+ is excreted, HCO3- increases as it is reabsorbed, and increases as respiration returns to normal.

125) One way to determine the total energy in calories of a food is to burn it in a device called a bomb calorimeter. The heat produced during combustion minus the heat added to begin the combustion is the total calories in the food. The typical human digestive tract does not absorb all of the calories in food; thus it is not 100% efficient. Furthermore, calories in undigestible organic compounds may not be absorbed at all, and thus can be considered to be zero calorie relative to human nutrition. Artificial sweeteners and fats are designed to produce desired sensation in the mouth without being absorbed. These are organic compounds that would release heat in a bomb calorimeter, thus they technically have calories. A. What does this suggest about the accuracy of the bomb calorimeter in determining available food calories for humans? What would be the results of bomb calorimetry of human feces? B. What is it about a particular food substance that may prevent absorption of its calories? C. What happens to the "zero-calorie" molecules as they pass through the digestive tract? What are the potential effects on defecation?

: A. Bomb calorimetry is not 100% accurate, because it does not take into account that some calories are not absorbed. Human feces would be determined to contain some calories. B. In order for nutrients in a food to be usable by the body, they must be chemically digested and absorbed. Digestive enzymes exhibit specificity, so they do not digest molecules that are different in structure from their substrate. If an artificial food additive is undigestible, this simply means that the body lacks the appropriate enzyme. C. Gut bacteria may be able to digest and absorb these compounds. Extra organic solute present in the gut may cause retention of water and production of bacterial gas as the bacteria digest the substance in question. This can lead to distention, discomfort, and diarrhea. Section Title: Digestion and Absorption Learning Outcome: 21.10
