The collecting tubule is under the control of what chemical.
|

|
What is SIADH (syndrome of inappropriate ADH) and what causes it
|
Occurs when excessive levels of ADH are produced. It causes the body to retain water and certain electrolytes in the blood may fall.
Some causes: meningitis, encephalitis, brain tumors, lung diseases, some medications, hypothalamus or pituitary gland damage. |
|
The two systems involved in acid-base balance are ______ and _______
|
Respiratory system
Kidney |
|
Bicarbonate Buffer System
CO2 +_____ <---> ______ <----> __ + ______ + _____ |
CO2 + H2O <--> Carbonic Acid H2CO3 <--> Bicarbonate ion [H+] + [HCO3-] + [Na+]

|
The respiratory system can correct for alkalosis by ________ respiratory rate which will retain ______ gas.

|
The kidney corrects for alkalosis by eliminating excess ______ by reabsorbing less ______ and more _____.
|
excess bicarbonate
bicarbonate more chloride |
|
The respiratory system corrects for acidosis by
|
Increases respiratory rate, removes CO2, and therefore carbonic acid
**Note: effectiveness depends on the amount of bicarbonate already in the system because carbonic acid in turn comes from bicarbonate ion combining with excess hydrogen ion in the body fluids |
|
The kidney corrects for acidosis by ________ more bicarbonate ion (instead of ______ ion) in the ________ tubule.
Kidney actively secretes more ____ instead of ___ in the distal tubule |
reabsorbing more bicarbonate
(instead of Cl- ion) in the proximal tubule more H+ instead of K+ |

The kidney may cause acid-base imbalances if it malfunctions or a _______ is given
|
a diuretic is given
|

|
pH
Ionic composition |
|
3 ways diuretics work include
|
1. Osmotically hold water (agents like Mannitol)
2. Increase glomerular filtration rate (vasodilation) * Not a primary MOA - caused by other drugs, like Xanthines 3.Direct or indirect inhibition of ion reabsorption (Na+, Cl-, or HCO3-) |
|
The primary mechanism of action of all diuretics is
