Which systems maintain the blood pH?


Give this one a try later!


The respiratory system, kidneys, and the blood buffer system. While the
respiratory system and kidneys are very important at maintaining blood pH,
the blood buffer systems works the quickest to maintain normal pH.

,What uses ion channels? give an example


Give this one a try later!


facilitated diffusion: sodium potassium pump (na+/ K+ pump)




What role is aldosterone in the body?


Give this one a try later!


It is a hormone that helps to regulate the kidneys. It causes excretion of
potassium from the distal tubules




Respiratory alkalosis is most commonly caused by


Give this one a try later!


hyperventilation, anxiety and panic attacks
Vomiting can also cause this: losing too much acid




How will you treat respiratory alkalosis?


Give this one a try later!

, breathe in a paper bag
Or treat the cause: if vomiting then most likely will need electrolytes.




What does compensated in respiratory acidosis mean?


Give this one a try later!


In compensated respiratory acidosis, the pH tends to range between 7.35
and 7.39 - still acidic, But in the normal pH range. When you look at the
PaCO2, you notice that it is high (acidic), but. The HCO3 is also high,
indicating that the body has compensated and normalized the low pH.




Key characteristics of epithelial tissue?


Give this one a try later!


protection, absorption, secretion, excretion; attached to basement
membrane and line the body with external and internal surfaces EX skin




Cellular adaptation: Hypertrophy


Give this one a try later!


increase in cell size, due to increased workload, increased hormone
stimulation EX: enlarged heart is caused by hypertrophy of cells and
hypertension

, Interpret the ABG's pH 7.60 pCO2 39, HCO3 35 pO2 92,


Give this one a try later!


Normals pH 7.35-7.45
pCO2 35-45
HCO3 22-26
pO2 80-100
Metabolic alkalosis (pH is high-alkalosis), (HCO3 high-metabolic).
Hydrogen ions may be lost through the kidneys or the GI tract. Vomiting or
nasogastric (NG) suction generates metabolic alkalosis by the loss of
gastric secretions, which are rich in hydrochloric acid (HCl). Whenever a
hydrogen ion is excreted, a bicarbonate ion is gained in the extracellular
space.




A low positive predictive value would mean what in terms of specificity and
sensitivity?


Give this one a try later!


the test would have low sensitivity because the proportion of people who
test positive and actually get a positive test would be low.




What are advantages of aerobic metabolism?


Give this one a try later!


The krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation: Produces more ATP and
supplies most of the body's energy
