To analyze:
The effect of continuous vomiting on acid–base balance, body's attempt to compensate it, the electrolytes that would have been affected due to vomiting, and the symptoms reflecting the imbalances.
Introduction:
Vomiting refers to a condition in which there is a loss of body fluids, such as electrolytes and acids. The body fluids are the liquids, which consist of water and other dissolved solutes and helps in maintaining the optimum homeostasis. The balance of acid–base concentration in the body is the maintained concentrations of the hydrogen (H+) ions, especially the extracellular fluids like blood plasma and the interstitial fluids. Electrolytes are the fluids that lead to the production of ions when an

- Jay has been suffering from diarrhea for the last three days. What do you think has happened to his acid-base balance (acidosis or alkalosis)? How would her body attempt to compensate?arrow_forwardHarriet, a young, poor, single mother, brings her baby to the emergency room because the baby is crying constantly. She reports that she is unable to buy formula and has been unable to breastfeed. Instead, she has been giving the baby a bottle with only water. What is the potential fluid imbalance this infant might be experiencing? a. volume excess b. dehydration c. volume depletion d. hypotonic hydrationarrow_forwardA student got so excited about her acceptance into dental school that she began hyperventilating and then passed out. How might passing out, for a short time, be advantageous? What is her primary acid-base disorder?arrow_forward
- If the Tm for a particular amino acid is 220 mg/100 ml and the concentration of that amino acid in the blood is 130 mg/100 ml, the amino acid will Question options: a) not appear in the urine because it is too large to be filtered b) be actively secreted into the filtrate d) be completely reabsorbed by the tubule cells 回Focus English (United States)arrow_forward50. A healthy 54-year-old man who is participating in a study on renal function has been following a high-sodium diet for the past 2 weeks. Which of the following findings in serum are most likely in this man on day 14 compared with prediet values? Na+ Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Angiotensin II OA) OB) C) OD) OE) OF) G) H) T T - - ‡ ‡ ‡ ‡ - ↑ T ↑ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↓ ↑arrow_forwardA 25-year-old man has drunk 2000 ml. of water over the past 4 hours. For the past hours, he has felt the need to urinate but has not done so. He has remained content because of which of the following? A) Inhibition of parasympathetic spinal cord neurons B) inhibition of somatic motoneurons of the external urethral sphincter C) inhibition of sympathetic neurons of the internal urethral sphincter D) Stimulation of descending sympathetic pathways to the internal urethral sphincter E) Stimulation of parasympathetic spinal cord neuronsarrow_forward
- drugs known as potassium-sparing diuretics work by blocking the effects of aldosterone on the kidney. what effect would these drugs have on the amount of urine produced, on the blood pressure, and on potassium ion concentration in the blood? could these drugs have a negative impact on the acid-base balance of the body? explain.arrow_forwardA high fever is likely to cause deep, rapid respirations,excessive perspiration, and higher metabolic rate. Howwould this affect the fluid and electrolyte balance in thebody?arrow_forwardA physician calls the laboratory and asks what lab tests should be requested to assess the acid-base balance function of a patient's renal system. You reply: 1) Serum rennin and erythropoietin 2) Serum creatinine, serum urea, serum uric acid, and creatinine clearance 3) Serum bilirubin (conjugated and total), urine urobilinogen 4) Serum bicarbonate and blood pH no references, just homeworkarrow_forward
- what is the significance of ketone and glucose on pathological constituents when present in urine?arrow_forwardDiabetes insipidus (DI) is a condition where the action of antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) is inhibited. If normal urine concentration is 300 mOsm/L, what would you expect the urine concentration to be of a patient with DI?arrow_forwardHarry ate a late meal at a cheap diner on the way home from work.A couple of hours later, he vomited three times, and then he consumed several packages of an antacid (mostly NaHCO3) over thenext several hours. By the evening of the next day, he was feelingbetter. During this ordeal, his blood pH did not deviate significantly.Select the mechanism(s) that helped maintain Harry’s pH within anormal range.(1) increased respiratory rate(2) increased H+ secretion by the renal tubule(3) decreased respiratory rate(4) decreased H+ secretion by the renal tubulea. 1 b. 2 c. 1,2 d. 3 e. 3,4arrow_forward
