Study Notes
Body Fluid Composition
- Water is the main component of body fluids, ranging from 45-75% of total body weight
- Plasma and Red Blood Cells have different concentrations of sodium, chloride, and potassium
Gastric Acid Production
- Production of gastric HCl by parietal cells involves hydrolysis of water into H+ and OH-
- ATP powers the transfer of sodium and potassium across the membrane via the H/K ATPase pump
- The pump moves 3 sodium ions out of the cell and 2 potassium ions into the cell for every ATP molecule hydrolyzed
Important Features of the Pump
- The H/K ATPase pump plays a crucial role in maintaining a low pH in the stomach, essential for digestion
Factors Affecting Blood Calcium
- Four main hormones regulate blood calcium:
- Parathyroid hormone
- Calcitriol
- Calcitonin
- Katacalcin
- Low blood calcium levels can lead to hypocalcemia, which can be caused by various factors, including:
- Vitamin D deficiency
- Kidney disease
- Pseudohypoparathyroidism
