Assignment:
1. A- ???Polyuria, the presence of glucose in the urine (glycosuria), and the presence of keytone bodies in the urine (ketonuria) could indicate what disease?
B- ???Describe the mechanism by which this disease leads to EACH OF THE three listed symptoms (polyuria, glycosuria, and ketonuria).
2-??? What are the two major hormones that act on the DCT and the collecting duct that affect the concentration of urine?
What is the effect of each of these hormones?
3- To manage acid overload, what two major things do the PCT cells in the kidney nephrons do? (note that these two things are linked!)
4-Determine whether the patient is in respiratory or metabolic alkalosis or acidosis AND whether compensation is occurring.
*Make sure you EXPLAIN you answers!!. (in other words. How do you know it is respiratory or metabolic acidosis or alkalosis, and how do you know if compensation is or is not occurring)
Normal Reference Values
- pH = 7.35-7.45
- PCO2 = 35-45 mm Hg *g
- ???3* = 22-26 mEq/L
Patient apes
- pH = 7.31
- PCO2 - 37 mm Hg
- HCO3 - 20 mEa/L
5-Determine whether the patient is in respiratory or metabolic alkalosis or acidosis AND whether compensation is occurring. •
*Make sure you EXPLAIN you answers!!. (in other words, How doe you know it is respiratory or metabolic acidosis or alkalosis, and how do you know if compensation is or is not occurring)
Normal Reference Values
- pH = 7.35-7.45
- PCO2 = 35-45 mm Hg
- HCO3 = 22-26 mEa/
Patient Values
- pH = 7.48
- PCO2 - 25 mm Hg
- HCO3 = 20 mEa/L
6- ???Explain the difference between obligatory water reabsorption and facultative water reabsorption
- Where along the nephron and collecting system does each process Occur?
- Which process recovers more of the filtrate?
7-Briefly describe the difference in structure, and function, óf the cortical nephrons and the juxtamedullary nephrons.
