Lactic acid
What happens when glucose within cells is exhausted during anaerobic respiration?
Sodium/potassium pumps in the cell membrane stop functioning
What leads to cell lysis as tissue ischaemia progresses?
Release of autodigestive enzymes from intracellular lysosomes
What is released into the bloodstream as a result of cell lysis?
Potassium
What is the systemic consequence of the accumulation of lactic acid in the blood during shock?
Metabolic acidosis
Test your knowledge of shock and its pathophysiology with this quiz. Learn about the systemic state of low tissue perfusion and cellular respiration, as well as the implications of inadequate oxygen and glucose delivery to cells.
