ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone) - Answer--Secreted by the pituitary gland
-Promotes reabsorption of water back into the blood
-Creates small amounts of dilute urine
-Released when osmolarity is high and when there is low ECF
-"Tap water hormone"
Aldosterone - Answer--Secreted by the adrenal cortex
-Promotes reabsorption of sodium and water back into the blood
-Creates a small volume of urine with a low concentration
-Released when angiotensin is released and when there is high osmolarity
-"Salt water hormone"
Isotonic Fluids - Answer--Normal saline (NaCl), Ringer's (NaClK+Ca++), and Ringer's lactate (NaClK+Ca++
and Lactate)
-Extracellular only (1/3 vascular, 2/3 interstitial)
-Used in emergencies to improve profusion and oxygenation
Hypertonic Fluids - Answer-Hypertonic Fluids
, Signs and Symptoms of Hypernatremia - Answer--Thirst
-Olgiuria
-Confusion, lethargy
-Seizures
-Coma
-High serum level
Signs and Symptoms of Hyponatremia - Answer--Malaise
-N/V
-Confusion, lethargy
-Seizures
-Coma
-Low serum levels
PTH - Answer--Increases levels of calcium in the blood by releasing calcium from bones, promoting
reabsorption via kidneys and increasing absorption from the small intestine
-Released when serum calcium levels are decreased
Signs and Symptoms of Hypocalcemia - Answer--Positive Chvostek/Trousseau sign
-Muscle twitching/cramping
*Grimacing
*Carpopedal spasm
-Tetany
*Laryngospasm
*Seizures
