What are the 3 main lines of defense in the body against acid-base imbalance and how does each work? |
|
Definition
Buffers (fastest within seconds): combination of a weak acid and a strong base that work to nuetralize the blood pH and keep it stable.
Respiratory(middle within minutes): rate and depth of respiration alter pH. More CO2 exhaled, less carbonic acid.
Kidney(slowest within hours/days): urine excretes excess H+, sodium carbonate, and exchanges H+ for Na+ |

Term
what is colloidial osmotic pressure and what happens when its low and why? |
|
Definition
colloidial osmotic pressure isthe osmotic pressure attributed to proteins and other macromolecules. It is meant to equalize the concentration of solute and thus osmotic pressure on both sides of the membrane.
decreased colloid osmotic pressure causes edema because the cells around are hypotonic

Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT)
Researchers followed 1,441 people with diabetes for years
Half followed their standard treatment, half followed aggressive, tight - control plan
Results: people with aggressive, tight - control treatment had lower blood glucose levels than those on standard treatment
