Endocrine!
These terms describe the rates and rhythms of endocrine secretion.
What are:
Diurnal, pulstile, and cyclic patterns?
This part of the nephron is where blood filtration begins.
What is the Glomerulus!
This condition is from the accumulation of a yellow pigment that is a waste product of the breakdown of red blood cells, in the sclera and in the skin.
What is jaundice?
This system works with the kidneys to regulate body fluid volume and electrolyte balance.
What is the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone- System
RAAS?
Hepatic Encephalopathy refers to:
What is the life threatening condition that causes brain swelling and dysfunction, confusion and coma secondary to the build up of NH3 - ammonia?
This 'looping 'system' begins with a stimulus that has changed the internal or external environment and disrupted the body's normal state.
What is a feedback loop?
This substance's only function is to convert angiotenisin I to angiotensin II.
What is ACE, angiotensin converting enzyme?
When a patient experiences hepatic encephalopathy this substance is responsible for the syptoms.
What is the build up of NH3 - ammonia.
This body system disorder causes a decrease in cardiac output and also in renal perfusion and results in renal failure, liver failure and death.
What is Cardiogenic Shock!
This anatomy is responsible for the exchange of Co2 and H20 in the blood.
What are the alveoli?
This type of cell in the pancreas releases insulin in response to high blood sugar.
What are beta cells?
Changes in renal perfusion and hypokalemia are trigger for this hormone, that helps control production of aldosterone, to be released.
What is Renin!
This condition occurs in the abdomen when the liver has become fibrotic and no longer has the ability for blood to filter through it.
What is ascites?
This categorization of shock is characterized by peripheral vasodilation.
What is distributive shock?
This structure in the brain directs the Master Gland.
What is the Hypothalamus!
These hormones are steroid hormones, they are relatively small, they are rapidly released and have a long lasting response.
What are lipid soluble hormones.
The vaso constriction or vasodilation of this arteriole helps to regulate how much blood enters the glomerulus.
What is the afferent areriole?
This vein delivers blood from the spleen, the gut and the gallbladder to the liver.
What is the hepatic portal vein?
These two systems help to regulate and maintain acid/base balance.
What are the lungs and the kidneys?
This hormone is created in the endothelial cells in the lungs.
What is ACE?
This phenomena occurs when there are low concentrations of a hormone and an increased number of or affinity of receptors/
What is up-regulation?
This part of the nephron is where aldosterone acts directly to increase NA+ and H2o absorption.
What is the distal convoluted tubule?
A patient who is bleeding is more at risk for severe outcomes when they have liver damage because of this liver function.
What is the production of clotting factors?
This disorder of this specific endocrine gland can be caused by an excessive amount, or a very decreased, amount of this hormone.
What is the goiter an the thyroid gland?
The end symptoms of shock include:
Excessive cell damage secondary to hypoxia from lack of perfusion and multi-system organ failure 😵
