NURS 3366 RRD #1 Intracellular Functions and Disorders
"bad" characteristics of ketones Correct Answers -they are
acids--over time there is a danger of acidosis
-they can't be used by brain cells-brain cells MUST have
glucose for energy
"good" characteristics of ketones Correct Answers -offer body
some energy-usually enough to be a "stop gap" till glucose is
available
Acid Gang Correct Answers -CO2
-H
Alkali Guy Correct Answers HCO3
counterregulatory hormones Correct Answers also known as
stress hormones bc hypoglycemia is stressful for the body, so
they come "to the rescue"
Etiology of metabolic alkalosis? Correct Answers a metabolic
problem that results in one or more of the following:
-excess accumulation of HCO3 in the body
-not enough excretion of HCO3 in the urine.
-too much acid (H+ and others) being excreted in the urine or
lost in other metabolic ways.
, -not enough acid being made
any of the above can create a state of high pH and high HCO3
some causes of metabolic alkalosis:
-large amount of vomiting.
-over-ingestion of bicarbonate (HCO3).
glycogen storage diseases
Examples? Correct Answers -abnormalities in glycogenesis or
glycogenolysis
-McArdle's disease, Type I diabetes
Glycogenolysis & gluconeogenesis are considered to be...
Correct Answers "breaking-down," "counterregulatory"
processes triggered by the counterregulatory hormones when
hypoglycemia is present.
HCO3 Correct Answers 22-26
How does the body compensate for metabolic acidosis? Correct
Answers -the primary means of compensating for metabolic
acidosis is via the lungs.
-the lungs try to decrease the acid gang in the body by increasing
the amount of CO2 that is exhaled
