Pressure that is due to albumin in Oncotic
the bloodstream?
Oncotic a form of osmotic pressure exerted by proteins
In the blood, _____ is the most albumin
common plasma protein and is,
therefore, a primary determinant of
oncotic pressure
,_____ controls osmotic pressure in Albumin
vascular system, builds volume
One question was about the Possible answer: naive T cells
difference in children and adult
immunity
Learning check question: Which Younger patients have fewer memory cells to
differences in immunity make combat infection
children and older adult patients
more susceptible to infections? Older adult patients have a dwindling population
Choose 2 answers of naive T cells
Younger patients have fewer Rationale: younger patients have not been
memory cells to combat infection exposed to many pathogens, which means that
they have fewer memory cells than adults. The
Older adult patients have a primary immune response is relatively weak
dwindling population of naive T compared to a secondary response mediated by
cells memory cells.
Older adult patients have more Older adult patients do not have as many T cells
memory cells to combat infection compared to younger patients. When these
patients encounter novel pathogens, the reduced
Younger patients have a large number of naive T cells gives clonal selection
population of naive T cells fewer opportunities to "find" T cells that will be
effective.
Older adult patients have a large
population of naive T cells
Fluid and electrolyte levels are osmoreceptors
regulated by _______, which regulates
actions such as thirst, ADH, the
kidneys, and RAAS.
Fluid deficit causes -Excessive loss
-Inadequate intake
-Or combination of both
, Fluid deficit risk factors -Vomiting/diarrhea
-Excessive sweating
-Insufficient water intake
Fluid deficit manifestations -dry mucous membranes
-decreased skin turgor
-decreased urine output
-low blood pressure
-tachycardia
-confusion
ROME for ABGs Respiratory Opposite Metabolic Equal
If pH and pCO2 are moving in opposite
directions, then it is pCO2 levels that are causing
the imbalance and it is respiratory in nature
If they are moving the same direction then it is
metabolic in nature
Buffers, renal compensation, and 7.35-7.45
respiratory compensation help to
maintain a blood pH of _______
