Where is Aldosterone secreted
Adrenal cortex
When the volume of IF reaches abnormal levels resulting in tissue swelling
Edema
What does Aldosterone mechanism do?
restores normal extracellular fluid (ECF) volume when such levels decrease below normal by increasing Na+ reabsorption by the kidney tubules
Excess Aldosterone leads to what
excess ECF volume--that is, excess blood volume (hypervolemia) and excess IF (edema)--and also leads to an excess of the total Na+ content of the body
type of fluid output that changes most
urine volume
average daily diet contains how much sodium Na+
100 mEq
Chief regulator of Na+ in the body
Kidney's
Of the trhree main body fluids, which fluid varies the most
IF
Natrium
Sodium Na+
Hypernatremia
Blood sodium Na+ level of more than 145mEq/L
Hyponatremia
Blodd Sodium Na+ level below 136 mEq/L
May result from overuse of salt tablets, dehydration, or prolonged diarrhea
Hypernatremia
Characterized by a relative deficit of water to salt in the extracellular fluid
Hypernatremia
Occurs when there is relatively too much water in the extracellular fluid compartment for the amount of sodium present
Hyponatremia
This can occur if excessive antidiuretic hormone is produced or after massive infusion of IV fluids, such as 5% dextrose in water
Hyponatremia
May be caused by excessive salt loss resulting from burns or certain diuretics, characterized by headache, confusion, seizures, and, in the most severe cases, coma and death
Hyponatremia
Normal range for potassium K+ in blood is
3.8 to 5.1 mEq/L
Clinical term used to describe blood potassium levels of more than 5.1 mEq/L
Hyperkalemia
Kalium
Potassium K+
Clinical manifestations of hyperkalemia
muscle malfunction progressing to skeletal muscles weakening and paralysis develops. Severe results in cardiac arrest
refers to a low blood potassium K+ level below 3.8 mEq/L
Hypokalemia
Causes of Hypokalemia
Fasting, fad diets low in dietary potassium K+, abuse of laxatives and certain diuretics in extreme weight loss programs, or by loss of potassium because of diarrhea, vomitting, or gastric suction.
Most abundant mineral in the body
Calcium Ca++
Normal range for serum Ca++
8.4 to 10.5 mg/dl
When blood calcium Ca++ rise above normal limits
Hypercalcemia
Causes of Hypercalcemia
Excessive input or by increased absorption that may occur following an overdose of vitamin D
Effects of Hypercalcemia
Decreases neuromuscular irritability resulting in fatigue, muscle weakness, diminished reflexes, and delayed atrioventricular conduction in the heart
May result from dietary calcium Ca++ deficiency, decreased absorption or availability, and as a result of increased calcium excretion.
Hypocalcemia
Organic compounds such as glucose that do not break up or dissociate in water solution
Nonelectrolytes
Compounds such as ordinary table salt, or sodium chloride NaCl, that have molecular bonds that permit them to break up or dissociate in water solution into separate particles
Electrolytes
Hormone produced in the atrial wall of the heart
ANH Atrial natriuretic hormone
Hormone that increases urine volume
ANH Atrial natriuretic hormone
Water loss hormone or diuretic hormone
ANH Atrial natriuretic hormone
Cheif regulator of Urine volume
hormones
Hormone produced in the posterior pituitary
ADH antidiuretic hormone
Hormone produced by adrenal cortex
Aldosterone
Two hormones that reduce urine volume by promoting water reabsorption from the kidney tubule back into the blood
ADH antidiuretic hormone
Aldosterone
Three methods of water input
ingested liquid
water in foods
tissue catabolism
4 methods of water output
lungs (water vapor)
skin (sweat)
Kidney (urine)
large intestine (feces)
Body fluid compartments
ECF extra cellular
ICF intracellular
plasma in blood vessels, interstitial fluid (IF), lymph, cerebro spinal fluid, humors of the eye, and the synovial jint fluids
ECF
