This cation is important in bone growth, muscle contractions and neuron function.
Calcium
This substance is important in the formation of nucleic acids and energy compounds such as ATP.
phosphate
This ion is the main extracellular cation.
sodium
Hypocapnia involves this substance
CO2
The blood level for this electrolyte is 4.5-5.5 mEq/liter
Calcium
The blood level for this electrolyte is 136-148 mEq/liter.
sodium
This cation moves across the sarcolemma during repolarization.
potassium
These two electrolytes are regulated by parathyroid hormone.
Magnesium
Phosphate
Calcium
This substance is secreted by the kidneys to control pH.
H+
This ion is important as a cofactor for the Na+/K+ pump.
magnesium
Aldosterone and atrial natriuretic peptide regulate this cation.
sodium
Hyperkalemia involves this ion.
potassium
This cation moves across the sarcolemma during depolarization.
sodium
Antidiuretic hormone regulates this substance
water
These two substances together form carbonic acid.
water
CO2
This ion is the main extracellular anion.
chloride
This substance is reabsorbed or not reabsorbed by the kidneys to control pH.
bicarbonate
This cation moves into synaptic knobs to bring about the release of acetycholine.
calcium
These ions are involved in neuron and muscle action potentials.
sodium
potassium
These ions are the main intracellular anions.
phosphate
protein anions
This anion is involved in forming the acid involved in stomach activity.
chloride
The blood level for this electrolyte is 3.5-5.0 mEq/liter.
potassium
Acidosis brings about [increased/decreased] excitability in the nervous system. Acid-base imbalances tend to strongly affect excitable tissues such as _____ and _____ tissues.
decreased
muscle
nervous
A decrease in pCO2 is known as [hypercapnia/hypocapnia] and results in a [drop/rise] in pH. As compensation the kidneys will [reabsorb/not reabsorb] bicarbonate.
hypocapnia
rise
not reabsorb
A decrease in pCO2 will result in [metabolic/respiratory] [acidosis/alkalosis]. An increase in bicarbonate level will result in [metabolic/respiratory] [acidoses/alkalosis].
respiratory alkalosis
metabolic alkalosis
Bases increase the number of [H+/OH-] ions in the body. Acids bring about a [lowering/raising] of pH. The blood pH ranges from _____ to _____.
OH-
lowering
7.35 - 7.45
A buffer system found in the interstitial fluid is the _____ buffer system. A buffer system found in the blood is the _____ buffer system
carbonic acid-bicarbonate
protein
This hormone causes sodium to be lost in the urine along with water. This helps to lower blood pressure.
atrial natriuretic peptide
This hormone may help regulate eating by stimulating the satiety center.
cholecystikinin
These are the main post-absorptive hormones.
glucagon
epinephrine
norepinephrine
cortisol
This hormone brings about a lowering of blood glucose by causing cells to take up glucose.
insulin
This hormone stimulates spermatogenesis in males and starts the development of primordial follicles in females.
follicle stimulating hormones
This hormone is involved in the 'Alarm Stage' of the General Adaptation Syndrome.
epinephrine
norepinephrine
This hormone increases uterine contractions during parturition.
oxytocin
This hormone can cause atrophy of lymphatic tissue.
cortisol
This hormone brings about ovulation during the ovarian cycle.
luteinizing hormone
These hormones are vasoconstrictors.
ADH
epinephrine
Angiotensin II
This hormone is involved in controlling when a person begins puberty, regulating circadian rhythm, and controlling mood.
melatonin
This hormone stimulates increased heart contractility and heart rate.
epinephrine
This hormone increases the basal metabolic rate and aids in the maturation of the nervous system.
thyroxine
triiodothyronine
This hormone stimulates glycogenolysis and brings about a rise in blood glucose
glucagon
This hormone stimulates bronchiole dilation.
epinephrine
norepinephrine
This hormone stimulates the production of aldosterone, brings about thirst and is a vasoconstrictor
angiotensin II
This hormone causes milk secretion during lactation.
prolactin
This is the hormone involved in Addison's disease.
aldosterone
This is the hormone involved in diabetes insipidus.
ADH
This hormone stimulates the production of T3 and T4 by the thyroid gland.
TSH=Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
This hormone increases blood calcium by increasing osteoclastic activity and causing reabsorption of calcium by the kidneys.
parathyroid hormone
This is the main absorptive hormone.
insulin
This hormone increases blood glucose levels and inhibits inflammation.
cortisol
This hormone stimulates red blood cell production.
erythropoietin
This hormone stimulates the production of T lymphocytes.
thymosin
These hormones mimic the effect of the sympathetic nervous system.
epinephrine
norepinephrine
This hormone is important in the development of the secondary sexual characteristics of men.
testosterone
These hormones stimulate bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) production in red blood cells.
epinephrine
norepinephrine
testosterone
This hormone causes the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts to become more permeable to water to produce a more concentrated urine.
ADH
This is the hormone involved in Graves disease.
TSH
This is the hormone involved in seasonal affective disorder.
melatonin
