Oligosaccharids-how many sugar units?Chpt.14 3-10 sugar units
define stereochemistrychpt.14 spatial arrangement of atoms within molecules
define stereoisomerschpt 14 same order and types of bonds but different spatial arrangements and diff. properties
name 2 major hormones that control glucose? clue: they oppose each otherchpt 14 Insulin and glucogon
Insulin inhibits what?chpt 14 inhibits glycogenolysis, decreases glucose levels (beta cells of islets/angerhans)
glucagon increases what?chpt. 14 alpha cells of islet that increases glyogenolysis
epinephrine-where is it made? and what does it do/chpt 14 made in adrenal medullaincreases glucose, inhibits insulin secretion, increases glycogenolysis and lipolysis. Released during stress increase.
hyperglycemia does what?chpt 14 increased in plasma glucose levels.increases glucose in plasma and urine. Increases urine specifice gravity, ketones in serum and urine. Decreases blood and urine pH(acidosis) and causes electrolyte imbalances
glycogenesis converts what to what?chpt 14 hint:(g-->g:new) converts glucose to glycogen for storage
what is gluconeogenesis? GIVE 3 EXAMPLESchpt 14 clue(SUGAR/NEW/CREATION) formation of glucose from non carbohydratesie: 1.amino acids 2.glycerol 3. lactate

Buffer equation pH= pK + log (base)/(acid)
what is the pK at body temp.? 6.1
what is the ratio of HCO3 to H2CO3 20:1--->will help keep pH in range
What important role does a phosphate buffering system have in urine? it neutralizes hydrogen ions in the urine filtrate and controls acidity
what are the compensation mechanisms of the body? hyperventilation-->removes CO2 hyPOventilation-->pH will increase increased HCO3 reabsorption-->due to chloride loss Decrease HCO3--> caused by diuretics
what are the 4 main acid base disorders metabolic acidosis, respiratory acidosis, metabolic alkalosis and respiratory alkalosis
in what way will the lungs compensate for metabolic acidosis hyperventilation-->EXCRETE CO2
in what way will the kidneys compensate for metabolic acidosis increase urine acidity and NH3
in what way will the lungs compensate for metabolic alkalosis hyPOventilation-->retain CO2
is it possible for the kidneys to compensate for metabolic alkalosis? no
name a compensation the lungs will provide for respiratory alkalosis hyperventilation-->excrete CO2
how will the kidneys compensate for respiratory alkalosis? excretion of HCO3; decreased H+ secretion
which is a "primary bicarbonate deficit"? metabolic acidosis or alkalosis metabolic acidosis
which is a primary bicarbonate excess metabolic acidosis or alkalosis metabolic alkalosis
what is respiratory acidosis an accumulation

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
