PORTAGE LEARNING A&P II FINAL
EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS




Loop of Henle - CORRECT-ANSWER-section of the nephron tubule
|| || || || || || || ||



that is responsible for conserving water and minimizing the volume
|| || || || || || || || || ||



of the filtrate
|| || ||




- DESCENDING LIMB: allows for WATER LOSS || || || || ||




- ASCENDING LIMB: allows for SALT LOSS
|| || || || ||




Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone (RAA) system - CORRECT-ANSWER- || || || ||



ANGIOTENSINOGEN:

- LIVER pre-enzyme that systematically circulates
|| || || ||




- RENIN converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I
|| || || || ||




- in LUNGS => angiotensin I converts to angiotensin II (triggers thirst)
|| || || || || || || || || ||

,- angiotensin II increases vasoconstriction to increase BP
|| || || || || ||




- at ADRENAL CORTEX => angiotensin II causes release of
|| || || || || || || ||



ALDOSTERONE- aldosterone increases Na+ reabsorption from
|| || || || || ||



filtrate, INDIRECTLY increasing water volume (BP) as well
|| || || || || || || ||




RENIN: enzyme released when BP is LOW by JUXTAGLOMERULAR
|| || || || || || || ||



CELLS of the nephron
|| || || ||




- causes constriction of afferent AND efferent arterioles
|| || || || || ||




- converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II
|| || || || ||




ADH - CORRECT-ANSWER-produced by the hypothalamus, secreted
|| || || || || ||



by the posterior pituitary gland, released in response to changes
|| || || || || || || || || ||



in blood osmolarity (pressure)
|| || || ||




- inhibits UO by increasing the number of channels in the
|| || || || || || || || ||



collecting ducts => increasing water reabsorption from filtrate
|| || || || || || || ||



into blood to increase blood volume (pressure)
|| || || || || || ||




- more ADH = more [solutes] in filtrate
|| || || || || ||




3 methods to maintain blood pH - CORRECT-ANSWER-1. CHEMICAL
|| || || || || || || ||



BUFFER SYSTEM => act to minimize changes in pH by having weak
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||



acids/bases react with free OH- and H+ in solution
|| || || || || || || || ||

,- fast-acting

- 3 systems: bicarbonate, phosphate, protein
|| || || ||




2. RESPIRATORY CONTROL MECHANISM => controls [CO2] in blood || || || || || || ||



and adjusts RR accordingly
|| || || ||




- increase RR = increase pCO2 = decrease pH
|| || || || || || ||




- decrease RR = decrease pCO2 = increase pH
|| || || || || || ||




- Normal range: 35-45mm || ||




- fast-acting



3. RENAL CONTROL MECHANISM => acid/base removal by ONLY
|| || || || || || ||



the kidneys
|| ||




- much slower mechanism, but has a more lasting impact on pH levels
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




- reabsorbing or excreting bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) || || || || ||




- increase HCO3- in blood = decrease pH
|| || || || || ||




- decrease HCO3 in blood = increase pH || || || || || ||




Blood flow through kidneys - CORRECT-ANSWER-Renal Aretey--->
|| || || || || ||



Segmental Arteries-------> Lobar Arteries --------> Interlobar Arteries --
|| || || || || || || ||



---
---> Arcuate Arteries -------> Interlobular Arteries-------- > Afferent
|| || || || || ||

, Arteriole------> Glomerular Capillaries------> Efferent Arterioles------ >
|| || || ||



Peritubular Capillaries OR Vasa Recta Capillaries ------ > Interlobular
|| || || || || ||



Veins------> Arcuate Veins-----> Interlobar Veins --- > Renal Vein
|| || || || || ||




Normal blood serum values - CORRECT-ANSWER-pH = 7.35-7.45
|| || || || || || ||




pCO2 = 35-45mm
|| || ||




[HCO3-] = 22-26 mEq/L
|| || ||




Respiratory acidosis ||




Metabolic acidosis
|| ||




Respiratory alkalosis
|| ||




Metabolic alkalosis - CORRECT-ANSWER-Respiratory acidosis =>
|| || || || ||



decrease pH, increase pCO2
|| || || ||




- IF COMPENSATION => increase [HCO3]
|| || || ||




Metabolic acidosis => decrease pH, decrease [HCO3]
|| || || || || ||




- IF COMPENSATION => decrease pCO2
|| || || ||




Respiratory alkalosis => increase pH, decrease pCO2
|| || || || || ||
