Anatomy of Nephrons

-Cortical and Juxtamedullary Nephrons -Smallest functioning unit of the kidney bc they can help produce urine. - Glomarulis (provides blood supply to allow for filtration of molecules to occure) -bowmans capsule (surrounds glomarulis) <Renal Corpussle> -Proximal Conviluted Tubule -Loop of henley ~thin descending limb ~thin ascending limb ~thick ascending limb -Distal convoluted tubule (DCT) -collecting duct

Proximal Convoluted tubule

-Cuboidal epithelial cells (contain mitochondria that can help produce ATP and energy that help allow for active trnsport of sodium back into blood stream and microvilli that help increase surface area and reobsorbtion) -Majority of reobsorbation happens here (sodium) *When sodium is absorbed so is water -blood glucose between 70-100mg/dl is normal

Major Anatomy of the kidney

-Fibrous capsule (along outside and helps maintain structure of kidney), -Renal cortex (where urine production occurs) <Renal Lobe> -Renal Medulla/Pyramid - Renal Pappila (Apex of pyramid/medulla) - Renal column (in between the pyramids, and maintain the integrity and structure of kidney) -Minor calyx (minor callicies) -Major callyx (major cllicies) -Renal pelvis -Hilus (indentation that can contain blood supply and innervation)

1. The answer is D. Distal K+ secretion is decreased by factors that decrease the driving force for passive diffusion of K+ across the luminal membrane. Because spironolactone is an aldosterone antagonist, it reduces K+ secretion. Alkalosis, a diet high in K+, and hyperaldosteronism all increase [K+] in the distal cells and thereby increase K+ secretion. Thiazide diuretics increase flow through the distal tubule and dilute the luminal [K+] so that the driving force for K+ secretion is increased.

1. Secretion of K+ by the distal tubule will be decreased by(A) metabolic alkalosis(B) a high-K+ diet(C) hyperaldosteronism(D) spironolactone administration(E) thiazide diuretic administration

34. The answer is A. The history of vomiting (in the absence of any other information) indicates loss of gastric H+ and, as a result, metabolic alkalosis (with respiratory compensation).

34. Which set of arterial blood values describes a patient with a 5-day history of vomiting?

35. The answer is E. K+ is secreted by the late distal tubule and collecting ducts. Because this secretion is affected by dietary K+, a person who is on a high-K+ diet can secrete more K+ into the urine than was originally filtered. At all of the other nephron sites, the amount of K+ in the tubular fluid is either equal to the amount filtered (site A) or less than the amount filtered (because K+ is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule and the loop of Henle).

35. At which nephron site does the amount of K+ in tubular fluid exceed the amount of filtered K+ in a person on a high-K+ diet?(A) Site A(B) Site B(C) Site C(D) Site D(E) Site E

Filtered HCO3 Regulation

-Filtered load: Increases in filtered load result in increased rates of reabsorption. Plasma HCO3 concentration becomes very high (metabolic alkalosis). Will reach capacity and excrete HCO3 into the urine. -Pco2: Increases will result in increased HCO3 reabsorption because intracellular H+ for secretion increased. Decreases will result in decreased HCO3 reabsorption because H+ supply is decreased. These are the physiologic basis for the renal compensation for respiratory acidosis and alkalosis. -ECF volume: Expansion results in decrease HCO3. Concentration (contraction alkalosis) results in increase. -Angiotensin 2: Stimulates sodium hydrogen exchange, thus increasing HCO3 reabsorption. Contributes to contraction alkalosis that occurs secondary to ECF volume contraction

Mechanism of Urine production

-Filtration: a filtrate of the blood leaves the kidney capillaries and enters renal tubule (occurs at glomarulis) -Reobsorbtion: Most nutrients, water and essential ions are recovered from the filtrate and returned to the blood. -Secretion: Certain substances secreted from the blood into the filtrate product to be eliminated. -Excretion: Process of eliminating or expelling waste matter through the final excretory product, urine.

Fixed H+ excretion

-Fixed H+ produced from the catabolism of protein and phospholipid is excreted by two mechanisms: , titratable acid and NH4+. -Excretion as titratable acid (H2PO4): Depends on the amount of urinary buffer present and the pK of the buffer. -The H+ is secreted into the lumen by an H+-ATPase, and the HCO3- is reabsorbed into the blood (new HCO3). In the urine, the secreted H+ combines with filtered HPO4-2 to form H2PO4-, which is excreted as titratable acid -As a result of H+ secretion, the pH of urine becomes progressively lower. The minimum urinary pH is 4.4

36. The answer is D. A person who is deprived of water will have high circulating levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). The tubular fluid/plasma (TF/P) osmolarity is 1.0 throughout the proximal tubule, regardless of ADH status. In antidiuresis, TF/P osmolarity > 1.0 at site C because of equilibration of the tubular fluid with the large corticopapillary osmotic gradient. At site E, TF/P osmolarity > 1.0 because of water reabsorption out of the collecting ducts and equilibration with the corticopapillary gradient. At site D, the tubular fluid is diluted because NaCl is reabsorbed in the thick ascending limb without water, making TF/P osmolarity < 1.0.

36. At which nephron site is the tubular fluid/plasma (TF/P) osmolarity lowest in a person who has been deprived of water?(A) Site A(B) Site B(C) Site C(D) Site D(E) Site E

37. The answer is E. Because inulin, once filtered, is neither reabsorbed nor secreted, its concentration in tubular fluid reflects the amount of water remaining in the tubule. In antidiuresis, water is reabsorbed throughout the nephron (except in the thick ascending limb and cortical diluting segment). Thus, inulin concentration in the tubular fluid progressively rises along the nephron as water is reabsorbed, and will be highest in the final urine.

37. At which nephron site is the tubular fluid inulin concentration highest during antidiuresis?(A) Site A(B) Site B(C) Site C(D) Site D(E) Site E

38. The answer is A. The tubular fluid inulin concentration depends on the amount of water present. As water reabsorption occurs along the nephron, the inulin concentration progressively increases. Thus, the tubular fluid inulin concentration is lowest in Bowman's space, prior to any water reabsorption. 38. At which nephron site is the tubular fluid inulin concentration lowest?(A) Site A(B) Site B(C) Site C(D) Site D(E) Site E

38. At which nephron site is the tubular fluid inulin concentration lowest?(A) Site A(B) Site B(C) Site C(D) Site D(E) Site E

39. The answer is A. Glucose is extensively reabsorbed in the early proximal tubule by the Na+-glucose cotransporter. The glucose concentration in tubular fluid is highest in Bowman's space before any reabsorption has occurred.

Metabolic alkalosis

Alkalinity of the blood "alkalemia". Excessive loss of fixed acid or increase in alkaline by product. May be due to hyperaldosteronism, where excess aldosterone increases absorption of HCO3 bicarbonate into the blood. Hypoaldosteronism: deficiency of aldosterone, resulting in increased absorption of H+ into the blood. -Arterial bicarbonate concentration increases -Alklaemia causes a compensatory decrease in respiration rate -Renal system compensates by increasing urine excretion. -Vomiting means loss of H+, which causes an increase in the reabsorption of HCO3 bicarbonate. Increases blood alkalinity, worsening condition.

7. The answer is B. To answer this question, calculate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and Cx. GFR = 150 mg/mL × 1 mL/min ÷ 1 mg/mL = 150 mL/min. Cx = 100 mg/mL × 1 mL/min ÷ 2 mg/mL = 50 mL/min. Because the clearance of X is less than the clearance of inulin (or GFR), net reabsorption of X must have occurred. Clearance data alone cannot determine whether there has also been secretion of X. Because GFR cannot be measured with a substance that is reabsorbed, X would not be suitable.

Assuming that X is freely filtered, which of the following statements is most correct?(A) There is net secretion of X(B) There is net reabsorption of X(C) There is both reabsorption and secretion of X(D) The clearance of X could be used to measure the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (E) The clearance of X is greater than the clearance of inulin

In absence of ADH, virtually impermeable to water. -Alpha intercalated cells: Secrete hydrogen by hydrogen ATPase (stimulated by aldosterone). Reabsorb potassium by a hydrogen-potassium-ATPase.

Magnesium (renal regulation)

Reabsorbed in proximal tubule, thick ascending loop of Henle, and distal tubule. In thick ascending limb: magnesium and calcium compete (hypercalcemia causes an increase in magnesium secretion, inhibiting absorption)

Thick ascending loop of Henle

Reabsorbs 25% filtered sodium. Contains Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter in the luminal membrane. Impermeable to water. Salt is reabsorbed without water. Resulting in tubular fluid sodium and osmolarity decrease to less than their concentrations in plasma. Called diluting segment.

Early proximal tubule features

Reabsorbs sodium and water with HCO3, glucose, amino acids, phosphate, and lactate. Sodium is reabsorbed by cotransport with glucose, AAs, phosphate, lactate. Cotransport accounts for reabsorption of all filtered glucose and AAs. Sodium can also be reabsorbed by countertransport via sodium-hydrogen exchange. Directly linked to the reabsorption of filtered HCO3

Renal Acid-Base Regulation

Reabsorption of filtered HCO3: Occurs primarily in proximal tubule. Produced from CO2 and H2O. Form H2CO3 carbonic acid, catalyzed by intracellular carbonic anhydrase. H2CO3 will dissociate into HCO3 and H+. H+ is secreted into the lumen via the sodium hydrogen exchange mechanism in luminal membrane. HCO3 is reabsorbed. In the lumen: secreted H+ combines with filtered HCO3 to form H2CO3. Dissociates into CO2 and H2O, catalyzed by brush border carbonic anhydrase. CO2 and H2O diffuse, resulting in reabsorption. Does not result in secretion of H+

Erythrocytes

Red blood cells. Contain hemoglobin. Carries 4 oxygen molecules, iron. Important for oxygen/CO2 transportation. Erythropoiesis: formation of erythrocytes. Leukopoiesis: formation of leukocytes. Conversion of reticulocyte into erythrocytes requires 3 factors: vitamin B-12, iron (Fe2+) and folic acid. *Deficiency of folic acid in pregnancy can affect the development of CNS (brain) and can cause encephalopathy (brain cannot develop).

Ventricular premature complexes (VPC) are ectopic pulses originating from area distal to the His Purkinje system. VPC are most common in ventricular arrhythmia. The ES is deformed in the QRS complex. Two common mechanisms: Automaticity, and reentry. Frequent VPC become a form of ventricular tachycardia (rapid heartbeat) -Automaticity: Development of a new site of depolarization in non-nodal ventricular tissue, which can lead to VPC. Increased automaticity could be due to electrolyte abnormalities or ischemic (restriction in blood supply) myocardium -Reentry circuit: Typically occurs when slow conducting tissue (ex: infarcted myocardium) is present adjacent to normal tissue. Could be due to damaged myocardium, as in the case of a healed MI. Causes: Ischemia, digoxin (medication that increases heart contraction), myocarditis, cardiomyopathy hypertrophic (or dilated), hypoxia, hypercapnia (CO2 poisoning), mitral valve prolapse, smoking, alcohol, cocaine use, caffeine, magnesium and potassium deficiency, calcium excess, thyroid problems, heart attack. -Symptoms: Chest pain, faint feeling, fatigue, hyperventilation (after exercise).

21. The answer is D. First, the acid-base disorder must be diagnosed. Alkaline pH, with increased HCO3- and increased PCO2, is consistent with metabolic alkalosis with respiratory compensation. The low blood pressure and decreased turgor suggest extracellular fluid (ECF) volume contraction. The reduced [H+] in blood will cause intracellular H+ to leave cells in exchange for extracellular K+. The appropriate respiratory compensation is hypoventilation, which is responsible for the elevated PCO2. H+ excretion in urine will be decreased, so less titratable acid will be excreted. K+ secretion by the distal tubules will be increased because aldosterone levels will be increased secondary to ECF volume contraction. Which of the following responses would also be expected to occur in this patient?(A) Hyperventilation(B) Decreased K+ secretion by the distal tubules(C) Increased ratio of H2PO4- to HPO4-2 in urine(D) Exchange of intracellular H+ for extracellular K+

6. The answer is D. Decreases in arterial PCO2 cause a decrease in the reabsorption of filtered HCO3- by diminishing the supply of H+ in the cell for secretion into the lumen. Reabsorption of filtered HCO3- is nearly 100% of the filtered load and requires carbonic anhydrase in the brush border to convert filtered HCO3- to CO2 to proceed normally. This process causes little acidification of the urine and is not linked to net excretion of H+ as titratable acid or NH4+.

Frank Starling Relationship/Law

Increase in stroke volume and cardiac output that occur in response to an increase in venous return or end-diastolic volume. Based on the length tension relationship in the ventricle. Increases in end-diastolic volume will cause an increase in ventricular fiber length, which produces an increase in developed tension. The mechanism that matches cardiac output to venous return. The greater the venous return, the greater the cardiac output. -Changes in contractility shift the Frank-Starling curve upward (increased contractility) or downward (decreased contractility). -Increases in contractility cause an increase in cardiac output for any level of right atrial pressure or end-diastolic volume. -Decreases in contractility cause a decrease in cardiac output for any level of right atrial pressure or end-diastolic volume.

Sympathetic effects on heart

Increases heart rate, conduction velocity, and contractility (beta-1 receptors). Alpha-1 receptor for constriction of splanchic, skin, and skeletal muscle. Beta-2 receptor for relaxation of skeletal muscle. Norepinephrine is the neurotransmitter, acting as Beta-1 receptors. -Positive chronotropic effect: Increases heart rate by increasing the rate of phase 4 depolarization. More action potentials occur because threshold potential is reached more quickly. Mechanism is the inward sodium current. -Positive dromotropic effect: Increases conduction velocity through AV node. Action potentials are conducted more rapidly from atria to ventricles and ventricular filling may be compromised. Decreases the PR interval. Mechanism is increased inward calcium current. -Positive intropism: Increases the inward calcium current during the plateau of each cardiac action potential. It increases the activity of the calcium pump of the SR as a result more calcium is accumulated by the SR and thus more calcium is available for release in subsequent beats.

Aldosterone

Increases potassium secretion. Mechanism is increased sodium entry into cells across luminal membrane and increased pumping of sodium out of cells by sodium potassium pump. Stimulation of the pump will increase potassium increase uptake into principal cells. Increase intracellular potassium concentration and driving force. Also increases the number of luminal membrane potassium channels. Hyperaldosteronism: Increases potassium secretion causing hypokalemia Hypoaldosteronism: Decreases potassium secretion and causes hyperkalemia

The bundle of His has how many branches

2

2. The answer is D. After drinking distilled water, subject A will have an increase in intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF) volumes, a decrease in plasma osmolarity, a suppression of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion, and a positive free-water clearance (CH2O), and will produce dilute urine with a high flow rate. Subject B, after drinking the same volume of isotonic NaCl, will have an increase in ECF volume only and no change in plasma osmolarity. Because subject B's ADH will not be suppressed, he will have a higher urine osmolarity, a lower urine flow rate, and a lower CH2O than subject A.

2. Subjects A and B are 70-kg men. Subject A drinks 2 L of distilled water, and subject B drinks 2 L of isotonic NaCl. As a result of these ingestions, subject B will have a(A) greater change in intracellular fluid (ICF) volume(B) higher positive free-water clearance (CH2O)(C) greater change in plasma osmolarity(D) higher urine osmolarity(E) higher urine flow rate

20

When blood flow reaches to capillary level how many mmHgs is it?

20

What percent of our cardiac output from the heart do our kidneys receive?

20% (2nd most cardiac output following the liver)

20. The answer is B. Thiazide diuretics have a unique effect on the distal tubule; they increase Ca2+ reabsorption, thereby decreasing Ca2+ excretion and clearance. Because parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases Ca2+ reabsorption, the lack of PTH will cause an increase in Ca2+ clearance. Furosemide inhibits Na+ reabsorption in the thick ascending limb, and extracellular fluid (ECF) volume expansion inhibits Na+ reabsorption in the proximal tubule. At these sites, Ca2+ reabsorption is linked to Na+ reabsorption, and Ca2+ clearance would be increased. Because Mg2+ competes with Ca2+ for reabsorption in the thick ascending limb, hypermagnesemia will cause increased Ca2+ clearance.

20. Which of the following causes a decrease in renal Ca2+ clearance?(A) Hypoparathyroidism(B) Treatment with chlorothiazide(C) Treatment with furosemide(D) Extracellular fluid (ECF) volume expansion(E) Hypermagnesemia

22. The answer is B. This patient's plasma and urine osmolarity, taken together, are consistent with water deprivation. The plasma osmolarity is on the high side of normal, stimulating the posterior pituitary to secrete antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Secretion of ADH, in turn, acts on the collecting ducts to increase water reabsorption and produce hyperosmotic urine. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) would also produce hyperosmotic urine, but the plasma osmolarity would be lower than normal because of the excessive water retention. Central and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and excessive water intake would all result in hyposmotic urine.

22. A woman has a plasma osmolarity of 300 mOsm/L and a urine osmolarity of 1200 mOsm/L. The correct diagnosis is(A) syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH)(B) water deprivation(C) central diabetes insipidus(D) nephrogenic diabetes insipidus(E) drinking large volumes of distilled water

23. The answer is C. Effective renal plasma flow (RPF) is calculated from the clearance of para-aminohippuric acid (PAH) [CPAH = UPAH × V/PPAH = 600 mL/min].Renal blood flow (RBF) = RPF/1 - hematocrit = 1091 mL/min.

23. A patient is infused with paraaminohippuric acid (PAH) to measure renal blood flow (RBF). She has a urine flow rate of 1 mL/min, a plasma [PAH] of 1 mg/mL, a urine [PAH] of 600 mg/mL, and a hematocrit of 45%.

Kidney stones (renal calculi)

"Calculi". Hard masses formed within the urinary tract. Result of highly concentration urine saturated with salts. Accumulates over time. Due to deficiency of inhibitory factors (citrate). Stone composition: ~80% calcium, and varied amounts of urine acid, cysteine amino acid. More common with hyperparathyroidism (parathyroid controls secretion of calcium into the blood). Stone formation can obstruct urinary tracts and cause a decrease in urination and increase in fluid retention. Damages tissues and susceptible to bacterial infection. Treatment: If stones are small, may pass on its own. Increase in water consumption. Surgery. Pain can be alleviated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or morphine. -Verapamil: acts as a calcium ion channel blocker to inhibit the passage of calcium into bloodstream. -Potassium citrate: supplemental citrate salt that dissociates from potassium in the body and attaches to calcium to inhibit stone formation via calcification. -Tamulosin: alpha-adrenergic receptor blocker which target cells with this receptor type, resulting in smooth muscle relaxation of bladder neck so urine and stone can pass through.

Hyperaldonsteronism

"Conn's disease". Tumors on cells specific for aldosterone secretion in adrenal cortex. Symptoms: hypertension, headache, vomiting, nausea, sleep disorder, nose bleeds, hypernatremia, hypoalkemia. Treatment: Surgical removal of tumor. Medications to control symptoms.

Steps 1-2: Isovolumetric contraction

"Early ventricular systole" Begins during diastole at point 1. Left ventricle is filled from left atrium (volume: ~140 mL, end-diastolic volume). Ventricular pressure is low (relaxed). On excitation, ventricle contracts and pressure increases. Mitral valve closes when left ventricular pressure is greater than left atrial pressure. No blood can be ejected.

Step 2-3: Ventricular systole (ejection)

"Ejection period". Aortic valve opens at point 2 when pressure in the left ventricle exceeds pressure in the aorta. Blood is ejected into aorta and ventricular volume decreases. Known as the stroke volume. The volume remaining in left ventricle at point 3 is end-systolic volume.

Primary hypertension

"Essential hypertension". Has unknown cause. Environmental factors including excessive dietary sodium (increases intracellular calcium), obesity and stress (can affect hormone levels: cortisol raises blood pressure). An increase norephinpherine causes vasocontriction, decreases vasodilation hormones. Also include: hormonal imbalances, renal dysfunction, cardiovascular issues, obstruction or destruction of blood vessels, mechanism of sympathetic nervous system, and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanisms. Can increase cardiac output and increase total peripheral resistance (TPR) Sodium: Abnormal Na+ transport across the cell wall due to a defect in or inhibition of the sodium-potassium pump or because of increased permeability to the Na+. Increased intracellular Na+, which makes the cell more sensitive to sympathetic stimulation. Since Ca2+ follows Na+, accumulation of intracellular Ca2+ is responsible for the increased sensitivity. Deficiency of a vasodilator substance: prostaglandin, bradykinin

Glomerulonephritis

"Nephritic syndrome". Disorder characterized by localized edema and inflammation of the glomeruli, high blood pressure and blood in urine. Causes: Differ depending on acute or chronic. Symptoms: Edema (seen early on) which can result in vasculitis of the glomerulus capillaries (damage that decreases their filtration rate). Decrease urine production. Can lead to obstruction of blood-flow and fluid retention in other areas of the body. Edema may progress to legs. High blood pressure, hypertension, headache, fatigue, vomiting, nausea, vertigo, nosebleeds, fever, weakness, malaise, coma, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, visual disturbances, joint pain. -If cause is autoimmune, leukocytes may infiltrate abdominal tissues and cause inflammation in GI, joints and other visceral organs. Resulting in joint pain, abdominal pain, loss of appetite. Treatment: Bloodwork and urinalysis to determine severity and cause. Low protein, low sodium diet if less severe. Diuretics to increase urine production and flush retained fluid and solute (sodium). Angiotensis converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) for controlling hypertension and high blood pressure. Antibiotics for bacterial infection. If renal failure, dialysis is recommended. Two degrees of severity: Primary and Secondary.

Polycythemia Vera (PV)

"Polyvera". Abnormal excess in erythrocyte concentration resulting from two causes: -Primary: caused by an abnormality in bone marrow due to a tumorous growth, genetic condition, or congenital condition. -Secondary: Caused by excessive production of erythropoietin hormone signal which can be induced artificially by intravenous "blood-doping" Signs and Symptoms: Increased levels of erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets, and increased hematocrit. Headaches, hypertension, vomiting and difficulty sleeping.

Hemoglobin is a protein which has...

-4 protein chains all attached to one heme -1 heme(iron containing+ red pigment)

Spike potentials are triggered at ______mV.

-40

Adrenal gland (supra renal glands)

-Adrenal hormones help us cope with stressful circumstances. -adrenal medulla: part of sympathetic nervouse system Adrenal cortex: 2 dozen steroid hormones called corticosteroids.

Hormones

-Aldosterone: ~Promotes sodium reabsorption in the DCT and collecting duct ~Promotes retention of water and sodium -Antidiuretic hormone/ vasopressin ~Inserts more aquaporins which increases water reabsorption, so increase of blood volume so increase bloop pressure.

Two broad molecular categories

-Amino acid based ~water soluble, cannot cross plasma membrane ~receptors usually on surface of cell -Steroid based ~lipid soluble ~receptors are on the inside of the cell

Pancreas

-Both endocrine and exocrine functions. -Exocrine: digestive system and digestive enzymes -Endocrine: islets of langerhans -alpha and beta ~alpha -glucagon-> raises blood glucose levels. (hypogycimia) ~beta -insulin->lowers blood glucose (hyperglycemia)

Thyroid gland

-Butterfly shaped gland, Two lobes. -Composed of hollow spherical follicles -Produces Thyroid hormone: ~T4 four iodines and T3 three iodines ~effects every cell in the body ~can go inside the cell ~excess thyroid hormone: thin, hot ~minimal thyroid hormone: sluggish, overweight, cold. -The thyroid is the only endocrine gland that stores its hormones extra cellularly in large quantities. -thyroid hormone: Follicular cells -Calcitonin: parafollicular cells

Renal Calculi (kidney stones)

-Calcium oxalate most common -Severe pain in the back -Dehydration causes bc then solvents come together. -Lithotripsy uses shock waves to break up stones.

Structure of heart

-Located in mediastinum. Between 1st and 5th intercostal spaces. -Four chambers - left atrium and ventricle (largest chamber, has enough force to push blood through aortic valve into entire body), right atrium and ventricle separated by septum (wall of muscle) -Two atrioventricular valves (tricuspid, mitral), two semilunar (pulmonary, aortic) valves -Three layers - epicardium, myocardium, endocardium -The two AV valves are located at the entrance into the ventricles. They are called the tricuspid valve and the bicuspid (mitral) valve. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle; the bicuspid (mitral) valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. -The semilunar valves are located at the exit of each ventricle at the beginning of the great vessels. They are known as the pulmonic valve and the aortic valve. The pulmonic valve is located at the entrance of the pulmonary artery as it exits the right ventricle. The aortic valve is located at the beginning of the ascending aorta as it exits the left ventricle.

Nephrons

-Main functional unit of kidney, responsible for urine formation. -Two types termed based on location ~Cortical [80-85%] (majority of it renal corpuscle found in cortex) >shorter loops of henley >more diluted urine ~Juxtamedullary [15-20%] (renal corpuscle adjacent to medulla) >longer loops of henley >more concentrated urine *Loops of henley (play a big role in water reabsorption) -Composed of: ~Renal corpuscle (bowman capsule and glomarulis) ~Renal Tubule (PCT Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henley , DCT distal convoluted tubule ~Collecting duct

Kidney

-Maintains constancy of ECF volume and osmolality by balancing intake and excretion of sodium and water. -Achieves constancy of extracellular potassium concentration, blood, and cellular pH by adjusting H+ and HCO3. -Conserves nutrients: glucose, amino acids. -Excretes end products of metabolism: urea, uric acid. The fraction that is not reabsorbed remains in tubules and appears in terminal urine. -Metabolic functions arginine formation, gluconeogensis, peptide hydrolysis. -Source of hormones: angiotensin 2, erythropoietin, prostaglandins -Reabsorption: Greater part of ultrafiltrate is transported across tubule wall and reenters blood. -Secretion: Urinary solvents enter nephron lumen from tubule.

UTI

-More in sexually active bc allows for transfer of bacteria -more in women bc shorter urethra - Symptoms ~burning ~increased urgency and frequency of micturition ~fever ~sometimes cloudy or blood tinged urine -UTI in elderly can include mental changes and confusion.

PTH vs Calcitonin

-PTH: raise blood calcium levels -Calcitonin: Decrease blood calcium levels.

Cerebral Ischemia

-Pco2 increases in brain tissue. Chemoreceptors in the vasomotor center respond by increasing sympathetic outflow to heart and blood vessels. Constriction of arterioles causes intense peripheral vasoconstriction and increased TPR. Blood flow to other organs (kidneys) is significantly reduced in an attempt to preserve blood flow to brain. Ex: Cushing reaction: Increases in intracranial pressure can cause compression of cerebral blood vessels. Vasomotor directs an increase in sympathetic outflow to the heart and blood vessels which increases arterial pressure.

Blood contents

-Plasma 55% (mainly water) >Albumin- Osmotic pressure >Gloubulin- transports lipids and fat-soluble vitamins >Fibrinogen-clotting -Formed Elements 45% >

Length tension: ventricles

-Preload: Equivalent to end diastolic volume (related to right atrial pressure). Venous return increases, end-diastolic volume increases, stretches or lengthens the ventricular muscle fibers. Frank-Starling relationship. Increased preload: Increase in end-diastolic volume, result of increased venous return. -Afterload: Left ventricle is equivalent to aortic pressure. Increases in aortic pressure cause an increase in afterload on the left ventricle. Right ventricle is equivalent to pulmonary artery pressure. Can increase afterload on right ventricle. Increase afterload: Increase in aortic pressure. Decrease in stroke volume. Increase in end-systolic volume. -Sarcomere length: Determines maximum number of cross-bridges that can form between actin and myosin. Determines maximum tension (force of contraction) -Velocity of contraction at a fixed muscle length. Maximal when the afterload is zero. Decreased by increases in afterload. Increased contractility: Ventricle has greater tension than usual during systole causing an increase in stroke volume. Decrease in end-systolic volume.

Pineal gland

-Secretes melatonin, which regulates our ciradian rhythm. -melatonin release is stimulated by darkness. ~Blue light blocks melatonin secretion. -highly vascular structure.

Urinary system is constantly working to maintain;?

-The purity and health of the body's fluids by removing unwanted substances and recycling others. -(our body is going to be trying to recycle proteins and nucleic acids etc.)

Loop of henley

-Thin decsending limb ~ only permeable to water (passive transport) -Thin ascending limb -Thick ascending limb ~impermeable to water, active transport of sodium which drives transport of chloride ions. -Interstitial fluid is Hypertonic to the filtrate.

How do the kidneys contribute to homeostasis?

-by regulating plasma composition through the elimination of metabolic wastes. ~3 main metabolic waste products (nitrogenous compounds) >Urea- formed by breakdown of amino acids (proteins) >Uric acid- formed by biproduct of breakdown of nucleic acids >creatnin- breakdown of creatin phosphate (molecule found in muscle tissues that helps aid in a storage of ATP).

Regulation of reabsorption of filtered bicarbonate

1.Lumen of proximal tubule contains urine 2.During cell respiration, the cell releases CO2 and this CO2 combines with H2O to form carbonic acid (H2CO3-) 3.Carbonic acid releases H+ and bicarbonate (HCO3-) 4.Bicarbonate (HCO3-) comes back to blood (capillary) by Na+ symport 5.H+ is excreted into urine (lumen) 6.Few bicarbonate (HCO3-) gets into lumen or is excreted 7.Bicarbonate (HCO3-) and H+ combine to form carbonic acid (H2CO3-) 8.Then carbonic acid (H2CO3-) releases H2O, which remains inside urine or is added in urine and CO2 comes back into epithelial cell for future bicarbonate (HCO3-) and H+ ion release 9.Having excretion of H+ ion makes the urine pH 4.4 (acidic) 10.Based on this mechanism in any cell (not just for kidney), excess CO2 increases H+ ion level (acidosis) More CO2, more acid Results in hyperventilation to decrease acid and CO2 level Acidemia causes hyperventilation 11.When bicarbonate (HCO3-) is high and H+ ion is low, it means alkalosis Alkalemia causes hypoventilation because do not need much ventilation

Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone cycle

1.Renin converts angiotensinogen into angiotensin I (AgI) 2.Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) converts AgI into AgII 3.AgII, itself, acts as a vasoconstrictor and it increases blood pressure 4. It stimulates aldosterone secretion 5.Blood then carries aldosterone to the nephron in kidney 6.Aldosterone binds to its receptor on nephron and stimulates capillary on nephron for absorption of Na+, Cl-, and H2O, which increases blood pressure and blood Na+ 7.Also excretes K+ into urine By this way, aldosterone increases blood pressure and blood Na+

10. The answer is D [III B; Figure 5-5]. At concentrations greater than at the transport maximum (Tm) for glucose, the carriers are saturated so that the reabsorption rate no longer matches the filtration rate. The difference is excreted in the urine. As the plasma glucose concentration increases, the excretion of glucose increases. When it is greater than the Tm, the renal vein glucose concentration will be less than the renal artery concentration because some glucose is being excreted in urine and therefore is not returned to the blood. The clearance of glucose is zero at concentrations lower than at Tm (or lower than threshold) when all of the filtered glucose is reabsorbed, but is greater than zero at concentrations greater than Tm

10. At plasma concentrations of glucose higher than occur at transport maximum (Tm), the(A) clearance of glucose is zero(B) excretion rate of glucose equals the filtration rate of glucose(C) reabsorption rate of glucose equals the filtration rate of glucose(D) excretion rate of glucose increases with increasing plasma glucose concentrations(E) renal vein glucose concentration equals the renal artery glucose concentration

11. The answer is D. A person who produces hyperosmotic urine (1000 mOsm/L) will have a negative free-water clearance (-CH2O) [CH2O = V - Cosm]. All of the others will have a positive CH2O because they are producing hyposmotic urine as a result of the suppression of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) by water drinking, central diabetes insipidus, or nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

11. A negative free-water clearance (-CH2O) will occur in a person who(A) drinks 2 L of distilled water in 30 minutes(B) begins excreting large volumes of urine with an osmolarity of 100 mOsm/L after a severe head injury(C) is receiving lithium treatment for depression, and has polyuria that is unresponsive to the administration of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)(D) has an oat cell carcinoma of the lung, and excretes urine with an osmolarity of 1000 mOsm/L

13. The answer is A. Increasing filtration fraction means that a larger portion of the renal plasma flow (RPF) is filtered across the glomerular capillaries. This increased flow causes an increase in the protein concentration and oncotic pressure of the blood leaving the glomerular capillaries. This blood becomes the peritubular capillary blood supply. The increased oncotic pressure in the peritubular capillary blood is a driving force favoring reabsorption in the proximal tubule. Extracellular fluid (ECF) volume expansion, decreased peritubular capillary protein concentration, and increased peritubular capillary hydrostatic pressure all inhibit proximal reabsorption. Oxygen deprivation would also inhibit reabsorption by stopping the Na+-K+ pump in the basolateral membranes.

13. Which of the following would produce an increase in the reabsorption of isosmotic fluid in the proximal tubule?(A) Increased filtration fraction(B) Extracellular fluid (ECF) volume expansion(C) Decreased peritubular capillary protein concentration(D) Increased peritubular capillary hydrostatic pressure(E) Oxygen deprivation

14. The answer is E. Interstitial fluid volume is measured indirectly by determining the difference between extracellular fluid (ECF) volume and plasma volume. Inulin, a large fructose polymer that is restricted to the extracellular space, is a marker for ECF volume. Radioactive albumin is a marker for plasma volume.

14. Which of the following substances or combinations of substances could be used to measure interstitial fluid volume?(A) Mannitol(B) D2O alone(C) Evans blue(D) Inulin and D2O(E) Inulin and radioactive albumin

Since the ventricle already has 70 mL, the total with the blood from the atrium would be...

140 mL (end-diastolic volume)

The ventricle, after the contraction of the atrium, has how many mL of blood in it?

140 mL of blood

How much blood does the cerebral system receive

15%

15. The answer is D. At plasma concentrations that are lower than at the transport maximum (Tm) for para-aminohippuric acid (PAH) secretion, PAH concentration inthe renal vein is nearly zero because the sum of filtration plus secretion removes virtually all PAH from the renal plasma. Thus, the PAH concentration in the renal vein is less than that in the renal artery because most of the PAH entering the kidney is excreted in urine. PAH clearance is greater than inulin clearance because PAH is filtered and secreted; inulin is only filtered.

15. At plasma para-aminohippuric acid (PAH) concentrations below the transport maximum (Tm), PAH(A) reabsorption is not saturated(B) clearance equals inulin clearance(C) secretion rate equals PAH excretion rate(D) concentration in the renal vein is close to zero(E) concentration in the renal vein equals PAH concentration in the renal artery

16. The answer is E. The person with water deprivation will have a higher plasma osmolarity and higher circulating levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). These effects will increase the rate of H2O reabsorption in the collecting ducts and create anegative free-water clearance (-CH2O). Tubular fluid/plasma (TF/P) osmolarity in the proximal tubule is not affected by ADH.

16. Compared with a person who ingests 2 L of distilled water, a person with water deprivation will have a(A) higher free-water clearance (CH2O)(B) lower plasma osmolarity(C) lower circulating level of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)(D) higher tubular fluid/plasma (TF/P) osmolarity in the proximal tubule(E) higher rate of H2O reabsorption in the collecting ducts

17. The answer is C. Dilation of the afferent arteriole will increase both renal plasma flow (RPF) [because renal vascular resistance is decreased] and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) [because glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure is increased]. Dilation of the efferent arteriole will increase RPF, but decrease GFR. Constriction of the efferent arteriole will decrease RPF (due to increased renal vascular resistance) and increase GFR. Both hyperproteinemia (↑ π in the glomerular capillaries) and a ureteral stone (↑ hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's space) will oppose filtration and decrease GFR.

17. Which of the following would cause an increase in both glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal plasma flow (RPF)?(A) Hyperproteinemia(B) A ureteral stone(C) Dilation of the afferent arteriole(D) Dilation of the efferent arteriole(E) Constriction of the efferent arteriole

19. The answer is C. Both individuals will have hyperosmotic urine, a negative free-water clearance (-CH2O), a normal corticopapillary gradient, and high circulating levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). The person with water deprivation will have a high plasma osmolarity, and the person with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) will have a low plasma osmolarity (because of dilution by the inappropriate water reabsorption).

19. Which of the following would best distinguish an otherwise healthy person with severe water deprivation from a person with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH)?(A) Free-water clearance (CH2O)(B) Urine osmolarity(C) Plasma osmolarity(D) Circulating levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)(E) Corticopapillary osmotic gradient

Excitation-Contraction coupling steps

1: Action potential from cell membrane to T tubules. 2: During plateau of action potential, calcium conductance is increased and enters the cell from extracellular fluid (inward calcium current) through L-type Ca2+ channels (dihydropyridine receptors) 3: Triggers the release of calcium from SR through Ca2+ release channels (ryanodine receptors) 4: Intracellular calcium increases. 5: Calcium binds to troponin C and tropomyosin is moved out of the way, removing the inhibition of actin and myosin binding 6: Actin and myosin bind, thick and thin filaments slide past and the myocardial cell contracts. The magnitude that develops is proportional to the intracellular calcium. 7: Relaxation occurs when calcium is reaccumulated by the SR by an active calcium ATPase pump.

Baroreceptor steps

1: Decrease in arterial pressure, decreases stretch on the walls of cartoid sinus. 2: Decreases firing rate of cartoid sinus carnial nerve IX, carries information to vasomotor center in the brain. 3: Set point for arterial pressure in vasomotor is 100 mmHg. Series of autonomic responses is coordinated by vasomotor center if drops below set point. Will attempt to increase blood pressure to the norm. 4: Responses of vasomotor center to a decrease are coordinated to increase back to 100 mmHg. Decrease parasympathetic (vagal) outflow to the heart and increased sympathetic outflow to heart and blood vessels. ex: Response to acute blood loss

Steps in Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

1: Decrease in renal perfusion pressure causes the juxtaglomerular cells of the afferent arteriole to secrete renin. 2: Renin is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I in plasma. 3: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, primarily in the lungs. ACE inhibitors (ex: captopril) block the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, therefore, decrease blood pressure. Angiotensin receptor (AT1) antagonists (ex: losartan) block the action of angiotensin II at its receptor and decrease blood pressure.

Four attempts for arterial pressure

1: Increase heart rate 2: Increase contractility and stroke volume 3: Increase vasoconstriction of arterioles 4: Increase vasoconstriction of veins. Additional attempts: 1: Cerebral ischemia 2: Chemoreceptors in cartoid and aortic bodies 3: Vasaopressin (antidiuretic hormone) 4: Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)

Excretion (renal)

1: Plasma concentrations less than 250 mg/dL, all of the filtered glucose is reabsorbed and excretion is zero. Threshold is approximately 250mg/dL. 2: Plasma concentrations greater than 350 mg/dl, reabsorption is saturated ™. As the plasma concentration increases, the additional filtered glucose cannot be reabsorbed and is excreted in the urine.

Potassium regulation

1: Shifts of potassium between the ICF and ECF: Most of the body's potassium is located in the ICF. A shift of K+ out of cells causes hyperkalemia. A shift of K+ into cells causes hypokalemia. 2: Renal regulation of potassium balance: K+ is filtered, reabsorbed, and secreted by the nephron. K+ balance is achieved when urinary excretion of equals intake of K+ in the diet. K+ excretion can vary widely from 1% to 110% of the filtered load, depending on dietary K+ intake, aldosterone levels, and acid-base status. 3: Glumerular capillaries: Filtration occurs freely across the glomerular capillaries. 4: Proximal tubule: reabsorbs 67% of the filtered K+ along with Na+ and H2O. 5: Thick ascending limb of the loop of henle: reabsorbs 20% of the filtered K+. Reabsorption involves the Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter in the luminal membrane of cells in the thick ascending limb. 6: Distal tubule and collecting duct: either reabsorb or secrete K+, depending on dietary K+ intake

Reabsoprtion (renal)

1: Sodium glucose cotransport in proximal tubule reabsorbs glucose from tubular fluid into blood. Sodium glucose carriers are limited. 2: Plasma glucose concentration less than 250 mg/dL, all filtered glucose can be reabsorbed (plenty carrier available). Reabsorption line is the same as filtration 3: Plasma glucose concentration greater than 350 mg/dL, carriers are saturated. Does not increase rate of reabsorption. Transport maximum.

25. The answer is D. By sweating and then replacing all volume by drinking H2O, the woman has a net loss of NaCl without a net loss of H2O. Therefore, her extracellular and plasma osmolarity will be decreased, and as a result, water will flow from extracellular fluid (ECF) to intracellular fluid (ICF). The intracellular osmolarity will also be decreased after the shift of water. Total body water (TBW) will be unchanged because the woman replaced all volume lost in sweat by drinking water. Hematocrit will be increased because of the shift of water from ECF to ICF and the shift of water into the red blood cells (RBCs), which causes their volume to increase.

25. A woman runs a marathon in 90°F weather and replaces all volume lost in sweat by drinking distilled water. After the marathon, she will have(A) decreased total body water (TBW)(B) decreased hematocrit(C) decreased intracellular fluid (ICF) volume(D) decreased plasma osmolarity(E) increased intracellular osmolarity

26. The answer is A. Exercise causes a shift of K+ from cells into blood. The result is hyperkalemia. Hyposmolarity, insulin, β-agonists, and alkalosis cause a shift of K+ from blood into cells. The result is hypokalemia. 26. Which of the following causes hyperkalemia?(A) Exercise(B) Alkalosis(C) Insulin injection(D) Decreased serum osmolarity(E) Treatment with β-agonists

26. Which of the following causes hyperkalemia?(A) Exercise(B) Alkalosis(C) Insulin injection(D) Decreased serum osmolarity(E) Treatment with β-agonists

27. The answer is E. A cause of metabolic alkalosis is hyperaldosteronism; increased aldosterone levels cause increased H+ secretion by the distal tubule and increased reabsorption of "new" HCO3-. Diarrhea causes loss of HCO3- from the gastrointestinal (GI)tract and acetazolamide causes loss of HCO3- in the urine, both resulting in hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis with normal anion gap. Ingestion of ethylene glycol and salicylate poisoning leads to metabolic acidosis with increased anion gap.

27. Which of the following is a cause of metabolic alkalosis?(A) Diarrhea(B) Chronic renal failure(C) Ethylene glycol ingestion(D) Treatment with acetazolamide(E) Hyperaldosteronism(F) Salicylate poisoning

28. The answer is A. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) acts on the renal tubule by stimulating adenyl cyclase and generating cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). The major actions of the hormone are inhibition of phosphate reabsorption in the proximal tubule, stimulation of Ca2+ reabsorption in the distal tubule, and stimulation of 1,25- dihydroxycholecalciferol production. PTH does not alter the renal handling of K+.

28. Which of the following is an action of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on the renal tubule?(A) Stimulation of adenylate cyclase(B) Inhibition of distal tubule K+ secretion(C) Inhibition of distal tubule Ca2+ reabsorption(D) Stimulation of proximal tubular phosphate reabsorption(E) Inhibition of production of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol

How much hemoglobin is in one erythrocyte?

280 hemoglobin

29. The answer is C. Hypertension, hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, elevated serum aldosterone, and decreased plasma renin activity are all consistent with a primary hyperaldosteronism (e.g., Conn's syndrome). High levels of aldosterone cause increased Na+ reabsorption (leading to increased blood pressure), increased K+ secretion (leading to hypokalemia), and increased H+ secretion (leading to metabolic alkalosis). In Conn's syndrome, the increased blood pressure causes an increase in renal perfusion pressure, which inhibits renin secretion. Neither Cushing's syndrome nor Cushing's disease is a possible cause of this patient's hypertension because serum cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels are normal. Renal artery stenosis causes hypertension that is characterized by increased plasma renin activity. Pheochromocytoma is ruled out by the normal urinary excretion of vanillylmandelic acid (VMA).

29. A man presents with hypertension and hypokalemia. Measurement of his arterial blood gases reveals a pH of 7.5 and a calculated HCO3-of 32 mEq/L. His serum cortisol and urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) are normal, his serum aldosterone is increased, and his plasma renin activity is decreased. Which of the following is the most likely cause of his hypertension?(A) Cushing's syndrome(B) Cushing's disease(C) Conn's syndrome(D) Renal artery stenosis(E) Pheochromocytoma

The transit time from the pylorus to the ileocecal valve is ____ to _____ hours.

3, 5

3. The answer is A. An acid pH, together with decreased HCO3- and decreased PCO2, is consistent with metabolic acidosis with respiratorycompensation (hyperventilation). Diarrhea causes gastrointestinal (GI) loss of HCO3-, creating a metabolic acidosis.

3. The correct diagnosis for this patient is (A) metabolic acidosis(B) metabolic alkalosis(C) respiratory acidosis(D) respiratory alkalosis(E) normal acid-base statu

30. The answer is D. The history strongly suggests chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as a cause of respiratory acidosis. Because of the COPD, the ventilation rate is decreased and CO2 is retained. The [H+] and [HCO3-] are increased by mass action. The [HCO3-] is further increased by renal compensation for respiratory acidosis (increased HCO3- reabsorption by the kidney is facilitated by the high PCO2).

30. Which set of arterial blood values describes a heavy smoker with a history of emphysema and chronic bronchitis who is becoming increasingly somnolent?

Distal tube

300 mOsm/L

What is the urine osmolarity in proximal tubule?

300 mOsm/L

31. The answer is B. The blood values in respiratory alkalosis show decreased PCO2 (the cause) and decreased [H+] and [HCO3-] by mass action. The [HCO3-] is further decreased by renal compensation for chronic respiratory alkalosis (decreased HCO3- reabsorption).

31. Which set of arterial blood values describes a patient with partially compensated respiratory alkalosis after 1 month on a mechanical ventilator?

32. The answer is E. In patients who have chronic renal failure and ingest normal amounts of protein, fixed acids will be produced from the catabolism of protein. Because the failing kidney does not produce enough NH4+ to excrete all of the fixed acid, metabolic acidosis (with respiratory compensation) results.

32. Which set of arterial blood values describes a patient with chronic renal failure (eating a normal protein diet) and decreased urinary excretion of NH4 +?

33. The answer is E. Untreated diabetes mellitus results in the production of ketoacids, which are fixed acids that cause metabolic acidosis. Urinary excretion of NH4+ is increased in this patient because an adaptive increase in renal NH3 synthesis has occurred in response to the metabolic acidosis.

33. Which set of arterial blood values describes a patient with untreated diabetes mellitus and increased urinary excretion of NH4 +?

When blood flow reaches artery and arteriole how many mmHgs is it?

50

4. The answer is D. The decreased arterial [HCO 3-] is caused by gastrointestinal (GI) loss of HCO3- from diarrhea, not by buffering of excess H+ by HCO3-. The woman is hyperventilating as respiratory compensation for metabolic acidosis.Her hypokalemia cannot be the result of the exchange of intracellular H+ for extracellular K+, because she has an increase in extracellular H+, which would drive the exchange in the other direction. Her circulating levels of aldosterone would be increased as a result of extracellular fluid (ECF) volume contraction, which leads to increased K+ secretion by the distal tubule and hypokalemia.

4. Which of the following statements about this patient is correct?(A) She is hypoventilating(B) The decreased arterial [HCO3-] is a result of buffering of excess H+ by HCO3-(C) The decreased blood [K+] is a result of exchange of intracellular H+ for extracellular K+(D) The decreased blood [K+] is a result of increased circulating levels of aldosterone(E) The decreased blood [K+] is a result of decreased circulating levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

Sickle Cell disease (SCD)

A group of genetic blood diseases, most common is sickle cell anemia. The production of an abnormal hemoglobin called "hemoglobin-S" (also abnormal hemoglobin-C). Normal red blood cells contain hemoglobin-A. Abnormalities in the folding of hemoglobin-S inhibit its ability to pick up and carry oxygen. Buildup of hemoglobin-S in red blood cells causes them to take a "sickle" shape, resulting in the inability to pass through smaller blood vessels and capillaries. Hemoglobin-S can also form aggregates (clusters) in the blood stream. Sickle cells are destroyed rapidly. Signs and symptoms: Hypoxemia (irritates sensory nerves and affects cellular respiration), pain (associated with inflammation and antibody accumulation in joints and abdominal cavity), headaches, fever, fatigue, increased risk of bacterial infection, increased heart rate (tachycardic palpitation due to heart compensating for O2 deficiency), jaundice (damage to erythrocytes causes excessive production of bilirubin) Treatment: supplemental iron, B12, folate, antibiotics for bacterial infection.

Changes over the course of action potential, described by refractory periods: Absolute refractory period, effective refractory period, relative refractory period.

Atrial fibrilation

Abnormal heart rhythm. Similar to atrial flutter. Many atrial foci are rapidly firing. No distinguishable P waves, because atria are sending impulses erratically. Depolarizations from foci near the AV node conduct to the ventricle producing a variable and irregular ventricle response. Irregular. Blood is not completely pumped out and can form a clot. Causes: Different types of heart disease, stress, anxiety, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, diet pills, open heart surgery, inflammation of heart covering (pericarditis), chest trauma, pulmonary disease, certain medication.

Accumulation of cholesterol/fat/lipids with connective tissue composed of collagen, elastic fibers, smooth muscle cells, calcium deposits and some inflammatory cells like macrophages and T-cells. Patchy intimal plaques or atheroma. Under the endothelial layer of blood vessel walls of medium and large arteries. Arteries are blocked by fats and cholesterol. Calcium accumulation causes calcification (hardening). Calcification can weaken blood vessels, making them susceptible to rupture, resulting in localized bleeding. If it doesn't rupture, may obstruct blood vessel over time. Hypercholesterolemia, thyroid issues (parathyroid can secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH) in excess), smoking, and drinking may increase risk. -Accumulation of fatty plaque under the endothelial layer activates growth factors involved in cell proliferation and growth attracts white blood cells (neutrophils) which cause inflammation and creates accumulation of calcium. Common arteries affected are: cartoid artery, cerebral artery, coronary artery, aorta and branches, and major arteries located in limbs. If condition worsens, may result in stroke, muscle damage, blood vessel damage and organ damage. Causes: Diabetes, chronic cigarette use, familiar predisposition, hypercholesterolemia or hyperlipidemia, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and hypertension, dyslipidemia, atherosclerotic plaque. Symptoms: Tight feeling chest pains, shortness of breath. Obstruction can cause Angina (deficiency in blood flow and supply, causing pain). Stroke, muscle damage.

18. The answer is B [IX D 4; Table 5-8]. First, the acid-base disorder must be diagnosed. Alkaline pH, low PCO2, and low HCO3- are consistent with respiratory alkalosis. In respiratory alkalosis, the [H+] is decreased and less H+ is bound to negatively charged sites on plasma proteins. As a result, more Ca2+ is bound to proteins and, therefore, the ionized [Ca2+] decreases. There is no respiratory compensation for primary respiratory disorders. The patient is hyperventilating, which is the cause of the respiratory alkalosis. Appropriate renal compensation would be decreased reabsorption of HCO3-, which would cause his arterial [HCO3-] to decrease and his blood pH to decrease (become more normal).

Which of the following statements about this patient is most likely to be correct?(A) He is hypoventilating(B) He has decreased ionized [Ca2+] in blood(C) He has almost complete respiratory compensation(D) He has an acid-base disorder caused by overproduction of fixed acid(E) Appropriate renal compensation would cause his arterial [HCO3-] to increase

abnormal movement of ventricles (not strong contraction)

How many BPM is sinus tachycardia

about 100 bpm

Supraventricular means

above the ventricles

What is atherosclerosis?

accumulation of cholesterol, lipid, and/or Ca2+

luekemia can be

acute or chornic

Leukemia can either be...

acute or chronic

What does the adrenal medulla secrete?

adrenaline and noradrenaline

Myelogenous leukemia

affects myelocytes

What are the three main plasma proteins?

albumin, globulins, fibrinogen

Na+ is a good signal for what hormonal secretion?

aldosterone

which agent is released or secreted after a hemorrhage and causes an icnrease in renal Na+ reabsorption?

aldosterone

which receptor mediates constriction of arteriolar smooth muscle?

alpha 1 receptors

Saliva contains _____ _____ which helps break down starch and _____ ______ which helps break down triglycerides.

alpha amylase, lingual lipase

What are the 3 types of globulins?

alpha, beta, gamma

What can excess thyroid hormones irritate?

alpha-1 and beta-1 adrenergic receptors

Excess T3/T4 for hypothyroidism stimulates

alpha-1, which leads to hypertension

in the sinoatrial node phase 4 depolarization (pacemaker potential) is attributable to

an increase in Na+ cunductance

an increase in arteriolar resistance without a change in any other component of the cv system will produce

an increase in arterial pressure

Iron deficiency anemia

anemia caused by inadequate iron intake or lack of iron reception in digestion

sickle cell anemia

anemia caused by lack of effeiceint O2 supply cells in sickle cell shape hemoglobin is deformed as a result

Where is the SA node located?

anterior margin of superior vena cava

V5 and V6 detects

anterior wall and lateral wall of left ventricle

Gamma globulins are

antibodies produced by lymphocytes

When blood osmolality is high then what is active?

antidiuretic hormone

Afterload is the increased pressure that exists in the

aorta or pulmonary trunk

Pulmonary artery's content is released into

aorta through ductus arteriosus

Patent ductus arteriosus connects what during intrauterine` life?

arch of aorta and pulmonary artery

Lumen of blood vessels

area occupied by blood cells

Post myocardial infarction may have ectopic foci which can lead to

arrhythmia

Artery is bigger than

arteriole

inspiration "splits" the second heart sound because

the aortic valve closes before the pulmonic valve

if the ejction fraction increases there will be a decrease in:

the end-systolic volume

Absorption into the renal system means

the filtered ions/fluids will come back into the bloodstream

V1 and V2 detects

the function of right ventricle

Deficiency of oxygen to tissue and cells means ... (What should the heart do?)

the heart should pump faster to compensate, which is the reason for increased HR

Cysts destroy

the kidney which leads to abnormal filtration and normal urine production

25% of Na+ is absorbed by what?

the loop of Henle tubule capillary

The blood in veins is unstressed volume due to what?

the pressure is much lower in veins than arterial system

Eventually, due to atrial fibrillation, blood gets into

the pulmonary veins and the pulmonary veins get hypertension

at which site is systolic blood pressure the highest?

the renal artery

V1-V2 detects

the right ventricle

The atrium receives signals from

the ventricles

Since the atrium receives signals from the ventricles

there is a negative P wave

Why don't we need immature leukocytes?

they are not functional and for this reason, patients have weak immune system

the greatest pressure decrease in the circulation occurs across the arterioes because

they have the greatest resistance

Elastic arteries are ___ than other arteries

thicker

The wall of the arterial system is...

thicker than venous system

Since capillary absorbs these minerals

this leads to increase in blood pressure

Where does the blood carry ADH?

to the nephron of kidneys

which of the following parameters is decreased during moderate exercise?

total peripheral resistance (TPR)

veins

towards heart

valves surrounding the right ventricle (carry deoxygenated b lood)

tricuspid and pulmonary semilunar

valves surrounding the right ventricle (carry deoxygenated blood)

tricuspid, RV, then Pulmoary semilunar

in veins the thickest layer is the

tunica externa

3 layers of BVs

tunica intima- simple squamous cell epithelia tunica media- muscle tunica externa- connective tissue

Venous system is not under pressure so it is called

unstressed volume

which of the following is the result of an inward Na+ current?

upstroke of the action potential in Purkinje fibers

Renal pelvis continues with

ureter

Ureter carries final product of urine to

urinary bladder

What is inside tubule?

urine

Hypertension means any factor, disorder, malformation, malfunction that leads to

vasoconstriction

Hypercalcemia causes

vasoconstriction and hypertension

Overstimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptor leads to

vasoconstriction of blood vessels

which of the following is an effect of histamine?

vasodilation of the arterioles
