Study Notes
Exam 4 Study Guide
- Exam covers chapters 13 and 14, use PowerPoint slides and notes as primary material
- Consult textbook and online resources for further clarification, don't solely rely on provided guide
- Exam is 50 multiple choice/true/false questions, 23 respiratory, 27 renal
- 2 sequential order questions, one each for respiratory, and renal
Chapter 13 - Respiratory
- Respiration is the sum of processes for O2 movement from atmosphere to tissues and CO2 from tissues to atmosphere to support cell metabolism
- Cellular Respiration intracellular processes in mitochondria using O2 to produce CO2
- External Respiration is the complete O2 and CO2 exchange sequence between the external environment and tissue cells
- PO2 and Hb Saturation are proportionally related; increasing PO2 increases Hb saturation.
- External Respiration steps
- Ventilation: air movement in and out of lungs
- Diffusion: O2 and CO2 exchange between alveoli and blood
- Blood Transport: O2 and CO2 transport between lungs and tissues
- Diffusion: O2 and CO2 exchange between tissues and blood
- Lungs vs. Airways: Lungs are in the thoracic cavity, consisting of lobes and segments with airways, alveoli, and blood vessels. Airways are the tubes for air passage.
- Lung Anatomy: Conducting zone (no gas exchange, trachea and bronchi have cartilage) and respiratory zone (alveoli, the sites of gas exchange)
- Conducting zone includes trachea and bronchi, these structures branch and narrow continuously
- Respiratory zone involves bronchioles and alveoli for gas exchange
- Alveoli: Type 1 alveolar cells form the walls and Type 2 cells secrete surfactant to prevent collapse. Pulmonary capillaries surround the alveoli for gas exchange.
Other Concepts
- Mucociliary Escalator: Mucus-covered cilia in lungs move foreign particles upward out of respiratory system.
- Surface Area: Alveoli have high surface area for efficient gas exchange
- Alveolar Pressure: This accounts for lung and chest interactions. Intra-alveolar Pressure should match atmospheric pressure.
Chapter 14 - Renal
- Kidney Functions: Maintaining water balance, regulating osmolarity, blood pressure and electrolytes, waste excretion (urea), acid-base balance, and producing hormones.
- Kidney Structure: Cortex with nephrons, medulla with renal pyramids collecting fluid, and associated vessels (renal artery and vein, ureters).
- Nephron: The functional unit of the kidney consisting of glomerulus, Bowman's capsule, PCT, loop of Henle, and DCT.
- Glomerulus and Filtration: High hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus forces water and small solutes into Bowman's capsule.
- Types of nephrons: Cortical nephrons (shorter loop of Henle, majority) and juxtamedullary nephrons (longer loop of Henle for concentration gradient).
- Tubular Reabsorption: Selective movement of substances from filtrate back into the blood to maintain fluid balance (Na+, water, etc).
- Tubular Secretion: Transfer substances from the blood into the filtrate to maintain homeostasis or to excrete waste (H+, K+, etc).
- The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) is important in fluid, electrolyte, and blood pressure regulation.
- Micturition Reflex: The process of urine elimination activated by stretch receptors in bladder.
