Study Notes
Solubility of Glucose
- Water is a polar solvent, able to dissolve polar compounds like sucrose due to its ability to attract positive and negative areas of sucrose molecules.
- Ethanol is slightly polar and can dissolve sucrose but not as effectively as water.
- Nonpolar substances, such as mineral oil, do not dissolve polar substances like sucrose.
Drug Absorption and Membrane Crossing
- Unprotonated (uncharged) drugs have higher lipid solubility, making them more likely to cross biological membranes.
- Protonated forms are more water-soluble and thus more easily excreted when ionized.
- The pH of urine influences the ionization of drugs: acidic drugs are more ionized in alkaline urine, whereas alkaline drugs are more ionized in acidic urine.
Heme Degradation Products
- Bilirubin, a byproduct of heme degradation, features an opened porphyrin structure with substitutions of pyrrole and specific ring configurations.
Patient Case: Symptoms of Cyanosis
- A 67-year-old man's symptoms included "blue coloration" of skin and mucous membranes, suggestive of diseases like Methemoglobinemia.
- Methemoglobinemia is characterized by elevated levels of methemoglobin, leading to "chocolate cyanosis."
Sickle Cell Anemia
- Caused by a point mutation in the beta globin gene, specifically an A to T mutation, which alters the hemoglobin structure and function.
Digestive Enzymes
- Pepsin is most effective in acidic conditions (pH 1.5-2.5) and becomes denatured in the small intestine where the pH is more neutral.
- Trypsin, on the other hand, functions best in the small intestine's higher pH environment.
Arterial Blood Gas Analysis
- Normal pH ranges from 7.35 to 7.45; pCO2 from 35 to 45 mmHg; HCO3 from 22 to 26 mEq/L.
- Analyzed pH, pCO2, and HCO3 levels can indicate conditions like acidosis or alkalosis.
Oxygenation Status and Hypoxemia
- Various levels of hypoxemia can be classified as mild, moderate, or severe depending on PaO2 measurements.
Bicarbonate Buffer System
- The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation represents the relationship between pH, bicarbonate concentration, and PCO2 in the regulation of acid-base balance.
- Normal compensatory mechanisms involve kidney and respiratory responses to maintain pH homeostasis, particularly during metabolic acidosis.
Renal Function in Bicarbonate Reabsorption
- Most bicarbonate (approximately 80%) reabsorption occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule, with the glomerulus allowing for free filtration of bicarbonate.
