25
Waste product that is not reabsorbed at all

26
Define tubular secretion
- Add to urine | examples: H+ and medications
27
What substances are eliminated by tubular secretion?
H+, medications, K+, ammonia, creatinine
28
Abnormal components of urine
- glucose - bilirubin - RBCs - WBCs - ketone bodies - bacteria
29
Normal components of urine
- water - sodium, other ions - albumin - urea - creatinine - uric acid
30
Proximal convoluted tubule - tubular reabsorption - tubular secretion
tubular reabsorption - largest volume reabsorbed here. - (water, ions, glucose, amino acids, urea) tubular secretion of H+
31
Distal convoluted tubule - tubular reabsorption - tubular secretion
tubular reabsorption -Ca+ variable rate depending on PTH tubular secretion: -H+ variable (regulation of acid-base balance)
32
Collecting duct - tubular reabsorption - tubular secretion
tubular reabsorption: - Na+ variable depending on aldosterone - water variable depending on ADH tubular secretion: -K+ variable depending on aldosterone
33
3 sources of water gain
- ingested liquids - ingested foods - metabolic water
34
4 sources of water loss
1 - gastrointestinal tract 2 - skin 3 - lungs 4 - kidneys
35
Main factory that determines body fluid volume?
Urinary salt loss
36
Main factor that determines body fluid osmolarity
Urinary water loss
37
Hypotonic - ECF is ____ - water will move _____ of cells - causing them to _______.
- Dilute - into cells - Osmolysis
38
Hypertonic - ECF is ____ - water will move _____ of cells - causing them to _______.
- Concentrated - out of cells - plasmolysis
39
Low ECF volume & low blood pressure stimulate the ___________ to produce ________.
-KIDNEYS to produce RENIN
40
Renin is the catalyst for _________ & _________
Angiotensinogen & Angiotensin I
41
Pumonary blood vessels add____________ to Angiotensin I converting it to ___________ (the active form)
Angiotensin II
42
Angiotensin II stimulates ____________ to produce ______________.
Adrenal cortex to produce aldosterone.
43
Aldosterone cause ____________by kidneys which leads to ___________ by kidneys
- increase tubular reabsorption of Na+ | - water to follow Na+ (salt)
44
R-A-A system is stimulated by what?
- low blood pressure | - low ECF volume
45
1 What hormone causes increased calcium reabsorption? | 2 What is the stimulus?
1 - PTH - parathyroid | 2 - hypocalcemia
46
pH of blood is?
7.35 - 7.45
47
What are the three major mechanisms for removing H+ from the ECF?
a. Buffer system b. exhaling CO reduces levels of carbonic acid in blood and increases pH of blood c. Kidney excretion of H+
48
What is a buffer?
A buffer is a solution that can effectively resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic component. It is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable.
49
HCO3-
- Bicarbonate - Product of CO2 in the plasma - Second most abundant anion in ECF
50
HPO42-
- Phosphate - Required for ATP production - is a Buffer - stored in bone & teeth
51
ADH (Anti-diuretic hormone) 1- produced by what 2- function 3- stimulus
1 - Hypothalamus & posterior pituitary 2 - increase reabsorption of water in kidneys 3 - stimulated by dehydration, low blood pressure, increased blood osmolarity (salty)
52
Aldosterone 1- produced by what 2- function 3- stimulus
1- Adrenal cortex 2 - increase reabsorption of Na+ in kidneys - increase K+ excretion 3 - stimulated by dehydration, low blood pressure, low blood sodium
53
ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) 1- produced by what 2- function 3- stimulus
1 - Atria of Heart 2 - Increase excretion of Na+ (put more Na+ into urine, water will follow) 3 - stimulated by high blood pressure, too much Na+ (too salty)
54
1 - Main hormone influencing ECF volume _______. | 2 - it acts on ______ reabsorption in the _________ & __________.
1 - Aldosterone | 2 - Na+, distal convoluted tubule & collecting duct
55
Kidneys regulate ECF concentration by producing _______________ urine when the ECF is too concentrated.
concentrated
56
ADH - antidiuretic hormone 1. stimulus for release 2. major action 3. site of release
1. increase in osmolarity (salty) of body fluids 2. posterior pituitary 3. increase water reabsorption
57
In presence of ADH water is reabsorbed by the ___________ & __________.
renal tubules and collecting duct
58
Protein buffer system 1. weak base 2. weak acid 3. where is it found
1. the free amino group (releases H+) 2. the free carboxyl group (combines with H+) 3. intracellular fluid, blood plasma
59
Respiratory system regulation: | increased blood acidity = ____pH = ____breathing.
decreased pH (due to increased H+), harder breathing to expel more CO2.
60
Metabolic Acidosis can be caused by:
- excessive loss of bicarbonate (diarrhea...) | - ketosis in uncontrolled diabetes
61
Metabolic Alkalosis can be caused by:
- prolonged vomiting, stomach contents are high in HCl. | - excessive intake of antacids
62
Respiratory Acidosis can be caused by:
-decreased respiratory rate
63
Respiratory Alkalosis can be caused by:
-decreased blood level of CO2 due to hyperventilation
