To discuss:
Short- and long-term mechanisms of thirst satiation.
Introduction:
The proper composition and balance of fluid, electrolyte, and acid–base are required to regulate the cellular functions of the body. The urinary, digestive, endocrine, lymphatic, nervous, cardiovascular systems etc. maintain these balances.
Fluid balance: Equal maintenance of fluid gain and loss; and proper distribution of fluid in the body.
Electrolyte balance: Equal maintenance of absorbed electrolytes by the small intestine and loss of electrolytes through urine in the body.
Acid–base balance: Maintenance of the stable body pH.

- What strategies to promote thirst can you give Myra even though she doesn't experience thirstarrow_forwardGout—a condition that results in joint swelling and pain—iscaused by the formation of sodium urate (NaC5H3N4O3) crystalswithin tendons, cartilage, and ligaments. Sodium urate precipitatesout of blood plasma when uric acid levels become abnormallyhigh. This can happen as a result of eating too many rich foodsand consuming too much alcohol, which is why gout is sometimesreferred to as the “disease of kings.” If the sodium concentration inblood plasma is 0.140 M and Ksp for sodium urate is 5.76 * 10-8,what minimum concentration of urate results in precipitation?arrow_forwardList the stimuli that turn on, and turn off, the thirst center.arrow_forward

- The term carotid means “to put to sleep,” implying that, if the carotidarteries are occluded for even a short time, the patient can loseconsciousness (go to sleep). The blood supply to the brain is extremelyimportant to brain function. Elimination of this supply for even arelatively short time can result in permanent brain damage because thebrain is dependent on oxidative metabolism and quickly malfunctionsin the absence of oxygen. What is the physiological significance ofarteriosclerosis, which slowly reduces blood flow through the carotidarteries?arrow_forwardProlonged diarrhea that causes great loss of intestinal secretions leads to Group of answer choices respiratory acidosis. metabolic acidosis. metabolic alkalosis. respiratory alkalosis. water intoxication.arrow_forwardSense of thirst Plasma volume elevates Angiotensin I conversion to angiotensin II Angiotensin II stimulation of hypothalamus Angiotensinogen conversion to angiotensin I Moistens mouth and distends stomach Renin release Dehydration Ingestion of water Reduced plasma volume and blood pressurearrow_forward
