What system regulates fluid homeostasis?

What is one pro and one con?
Endocrine system

Pro = Reactions last long

Con = Systems takes long to react
juxtaglomerular apparatus (complex)
structure that detects drops in BP, drops in blood O2, and in response, makes and releases renin and erythropoetin
Identify the two components that make up the juxtaglomerular apparatus (complex).
Juxtaglomerular cells
Macula densa cells
juxtaglomerular cells
enlarged smooth muscle cells that surround an afferent arteriole
macula densa cells
cells in the wall of the DCT; detect ionic content and water volume
Where does Angiotensin I convert to Angiotensin II?
In the lungs
What converts Angiotensinogen to Angiotensin I?

Where does this conversion happen?
Renin

Occurs in the blood
Why does Angiotensinogen convert to Angiotensin I?
When BP or blood O2 drops, renin will convert it.
What does Angiotensin II do?
Powerful vasoconstrictor that when activated, releases ADH (hypothalamus/post. pituitary gland) and aldosterone (adrenal cortex)
What receptors does the afferent arteriole have for Angiotensin II?*
Increase vessel pressure
Increase Na+ reabsorption
Increase H2O reabsorption
What is the main function of Angiotensin II?
Increase BP by saving blood volume
What is the main function of renin?
Fix low BP (by increasing it), but does nothing to heart rate
acid
any substance that increases H+ ion concentration;

H+ ion donor;

Less than 7 on pH scale is acidic
base
any substance that decreases H+ ion concentration;

H+ ion acceptor;

More than 7 on pH scale is alkaline
What is the pH scale based on?
A logarithmic scale with each number representing 10x more than the number next to it.
Identify the 6 acidic substances made by humans.
Carbonic acid
Lactic acid
Sulfuric acid
Phosphoric acid
Fatty acids
Ketones
carbonic acid
from metabolism converting CO2 --> HCO3-
lactic acid
from conversion of pyruvates in anaerobic metabolism
sulfuric acid
from metabolism of sulfur containing proteins
phosphoric acid
from metabolism of phosphorus containing proteins
fatty acids/ketones
from metabolism of lipids
OH-
hydroxide
Sources of human alkalinity often result from _________.
consumption
Consumption of food that contains these 3 elements tend to form hydroxides (OH-).
Ca++, K+, Mg++
blood pH range
7.35 to 7.45
Why must we control blood pH so tightly?
So that proteins do NOT denature and/or enzymes do NOT change shape
volatile acid
goes from liquid to gas quickly;
can be eliminated by the lungs;
H2CO3 is the only significant one for humans;
i.e. gasoline
fixed acid
stay in solutions;
can be eliminated by the kidney;
i.e. all acids made by the body except H2CO3
buffer
a substance or physiological action that can resist changes in pH
When does a buffer stop working?
When the substance runs out of buffering molecules to donate
What are the 3 chemical buffers in humans?

Which is the major buffer in the ECF, ICF, and in both?
Bicarbonate = ECF

Respiratory System
Urinary System
How does the respiratory system act as a physiological buffer?
Expels volatile acids;

Buffers by altering respiratory rate and depth
How does the urinary system act as a physiological buffer?
Expels fixed acids;

Buffers by modifying urine in DCT/CD (saving or passing H+ ions)
