BIOL 1142 - Exam 3
gas exchange, renal physiology, fluid balance
Question | Answer |
---|---|
hypoxia | low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood |
3 causes of hypoxia | low oxygen in alveoli poor exchange between alveoli and blood poor transport |
hemoglobin and oxygen binding | >98% of oxygen is carried by hemoglobin; binding is reversible and depends largely on partial pressre of oxygen |
oxygen saturation | how many oxygens are attached to each hemoglobin, percentage of available sites used. At PO2 of 100mmHg, O2 saturation is 98%. At PO2 of 40mmHg O2 saturation is 75%. |
transport of CO2 | dissolved in plasma (about 7%), converted into bicarbonate (in red blood cells - about 70%, requires carbonic anhydrase), bound to hemoglobin (different location than O2 - about 22%) |
factors that affect O2 binding to hemoglobin | high partial pressure - binding low partial pressure - releasing high temperature - releasing low temperature - binding acidity (CO2) can also influence exercise also makes oxygen dissociate because of increased demand for oxygen in muscles |

things that affect fluid balance | inputs from external environment, metabolic production, storage, reversible incorporation, excretion to external environment, metabolic consumption |
total amount of fluid/intracellular/extracellular | 42 L total/28 L intracellular/14 L extracellular (2.8 L plasma, 11.2 L interstitial fluid) |
percent of body weight that is water | 40-80%, depending on amount of adipose tissue |
water content of different tissues | bone - 22%, adipose - 10% |
how fluid balance is maintained | regulating extracellular fluid and osmolarity; volume is regulated to maintain blood pressure, osmolarity is regulated to maintain cell volume |
short term control of fluid volume change and blood pressure | baroreceptor reflex, fluid shift |
long term control of fluid volume change and blood pressure | kidneys - regulation of GFR, regulation of Na+ absorption |
extracellular hypertonicity (dehydration) | caused by insufficient water intake, excessive water loss, diabetes insipidous |
extracellular hypotonicity (over-hydration) | causes - renal failure, rapid ingestion of water, inappropriate vasopressin secretion (due to pain or trauma w/o blood loss) |
ways that fluid volume can change | water loss - sweating, vomiting, diarrhea blood loss - hemhorrhage (isosmotic, no osmolarity change) |
increase in pH | increased basicness, causes hyperexcitability |
decrease in pH | increased acidity, causes hypoexcitability |
why pH is important | enzymes, channel proteins, nervous system function are all pH sensitive. changes in pH influence hydrogen bodning which influences protein shape and function. |
acid input | Foods and metabolic activity produce acids. organic acids - amino acids, fatty acids, lactic acid, citric acid cycle intermediates |
base input | negligible |
buffers | proteins phosphate ions bicarbonate |
pH homeostatic controls | buffers (proteins, phosphate ions, bicarbonate); ventilation (carbon dioxide removal increases/decreases), renal regulation (secretion of H+) |
ideal pH for cells | 6.8-8.0, 7.4 is ideal |
percentage of excess acid removed through different methods | 75% respiration, 25% kidneys |
bicarbonate | HCO3, main buffer in the blood |
hyperexcitability | caused by increased (basic) pH; results in muscle twitch, tetnae |
hypoexcitability | casused by decreased (acidic) pH; CNS depression - confusion, disorientation, loss of consciousness, coma, death |
diabetes insipidus | issues with production or reception of vasopressin; tasteless "water" urine (no sugar) |
high osmolarity in extracellular fluid | water moves out of the cell, cell shrinks |
low osmolarity in extracelluar fluid | water moves into the cell, cell bursts |
examples of metabolically produced substances that produce water as a byproduct | glucose, cholesterol |
