Pregunta 12

Pregunta
Fill in the blanks below to describe the release of ADH. 1. When plasma osmolality is [blank_start]high[blank_end], receptors in the o[blank_start]rganum vasculosum lamina[blank_end], m[blank_start]edian preoptic nucleus[blank_end] and s[blank_start]ubfomical organ[blank_end] signal to neurosecretory cells in the [blank_start]paraventricular[blank_end] and [blank_start]supraoptic[blank_end] nuclei in the [blank_start]hypothalamus[blank_end]. 2.

Respuesta
  • 5
  • 150

Pregunta 22

Pregunta
In the proximal tubule, the Na+/K+ [blank_start]pump[blank_end] moves potassium ions [blank_start]into[blank_end] the epithelial cell. This concentration gradient draws potassium into the epithelial cell from the [blank_start]lumen[blank_end] and out into the [blank_start]interstitial[blank_end] fluid via [blank_start]channel[blank_end] proteins. Potassium can also diffuse between cells via [blank_start]tight junctions[blank_end].
Respuesta
  • pump
  • into
  • lumen
  • interstitial
  • channel
  • tight junctions

Pregunta 23

Pregunta

Respuesta
  • Na+/K+/2Cl- transporter
  • Na+/K+ ATPase
  • Renal outer medullar K+ channel (ROMK)
  • K+/H+ ATPase

Pregunta 24

Pregunta
How does potassium enter the epithelial cells of the distal tubule?
Respuesta
  • K+/H+ exchanger
  • Na+/K+ ATPase
  • Na+/K+/2Cl ATPase
  • Renal outer medullar K+ channel (ROMK)

Pregunta 25

Pregunta
In the collecting duct, potassium is reabsorbed by [blank_start]type A[blank_end] intercalated cells in exchange for [blank_start]H+[blank_end] ions. This is outweighed by [blank_start]secretion[blank_end] by the [blank_start]prinicipal[blank_end] cells. In the principal cells, potassium moves out of the epithelium via [blank_start]renal outer medullar K+ channels[blank_end] (ROMKs). It also moves out through [blank_start]calcium[blank_end]-activated big-[blank_start]conductance[blank_end] K+ channels when tubular flow rates are [blank_start]high[blank_end]. The K+/[blank_start]Cl-[blank_end] transporter also removes potassium from the cell.
Respuesta
  • type A
  • H+
  • secretion
  • prinicipal
  • renal outer medullar K+ channels
  • calcium
  • conductance
  • high
  • Cl-

Pregunta 26

Pregunta
If more sodium enters the principal cells in the collecting duct epithelium, what happens to the secretion of potassium?
Respuesta
  • Increases because the filtrate becomes less positively charged
  • Increases because the filtrate becomes more positively charged
  • Decreases because the filtrate becomes more positively charged
  • Decreases because the filtrate becomes less positively charged

Pregunta 27

Pregunta
What hormone stimulations the K+ channels, Na+ channels and Na+/K+ ATPases of the collecting duct to increase secretion?
Respuesta
  • Aldosterone
  • ADH
  • Adrenaline
  • Testosterone

Pregunta 28

Pregunta
Which favours secretion more?
Respuesta
  • High tubular flow rates
  • Low tubular flow rates

Pregunta 29

Pregunta
What is hypokalaemia?
Respuesta
  • Plasma potassium concentration of less than 3.5mM
  • Plasma potassium concentration of more than 3.5mM
  • Intracellular potassium concentration of more than 3.5mM
  • Urinary potassium concentration of less than 3.5mM

Pregunta 30

Pregunta
Hypokalaemia can occur due to increased internal losses. For example, in the kidney, [blank_start]high[blank_end] tubular flow rates favour [blank_start]high[blank_end] rates of potassium [blank_start]secretion[blank_end]. Hyperaldosteronism [blank_start]increases[blank_end] the activity of the potassium channels, favouring potassium [blank_start]secretion[blank_end]. Alkalosis is also associated with hypokalaemia because potassium is secreted due to changed in [blank_start]electrochemical gradients[blank_end]. In the GI tract, vomiting and [blank_start]diarrhea[blank_end] can cause excess potassium loss. Potassium can be lost from the skin due to burns or intense [blank_start]sweating[blank_end].
Respuesta
  • high
  • high
  • secretion
  • increases
  • secretion
  • electrochemical gradients
  • diarrhea
  • sweating

Pregunta 31

Pregunta
How does insulin affect potassium uptake in cells?
Respuesta
  • Activates Na+/K+ ATPase
  • Deactivates Na+/K+ ATPase
  • Activates K+ channels
  • Activates Na+/H+ channels

Pregunta 32

Pregunta
Why does potassium intake into cells increase due to metabolic alkalosis?
Respuesta
  • H+ ions bound to buffers leave cells, K+ enter to maintain charge
  • H+ ions bound to buffers enter cells, K+ leave to maintain charge
  • K+ ions act as buffers to reduce plasma pH
  • K+ ions are exchanged for H+ on the K+/H+ exchanger

Pregunta 33

Pregunta
What is severe hypokalaemia?
Respuesta
  • < 2.5mM
  • > 2.5mM
  • < 3.5 mM
  • < 5 mM

Pregunta 34

Pregunta
In hypokalaemia, membrane potentials become more [blank_start]negative[blank_end]. Therefore, a larger intake of [blank_start]sodium[blank_end] is required to exceed the [blank_start]threshold[blank_end] and fire an [blank_start]action potential[blank_end]. Therefore, action potentials are less likely to fire and the [blank_start]refractory[blank_end] period is [blank_start]longer[blank_end] so muscles become weak and paralysed.
Respuesta
  • negative
  • sodium
  • threshold
  • action potential
  • longer
  • refractory

Pregunta 35

Pregunta 37

Pregunta
Hyperkalaemia can be caused by redistribution of potassium out of cells. Check the two specific examples of this.
Respuesta
  • Renal failure
  • Hypoaldosteronism
  • Action of drugs
  • Acidosis
  • Tissue destruction/cell lysis

Pregunta 38

Pregunta
In hyperkalaemia, the resting membrane potential becomes more [blank_start]positive[blank_end]. This means less [blank_start]sodium[blank_end] is required to exceed the [blank_start]threshold[blank_end] and fire an [blank_start]action potential[blank_end]. Action potentials are [blank_start]more[blank_end] likely to fire, causing hyperreflexia and [blank_start]cramping[blank_end] of the muscles.
Respuesta
  • positive
  • sodium
  • threshold
  • action potential
  • cramping
  • more
