Line the centre canal in spinal cord

Largest neuroglial cell

Can migrate to through neural tissue

Produce, monitor and circulate cerebrospinal fluid

Most abundant neuroglial cells

Maintain blood- brain barrier  

Many are ciliated

Many cytoplasmic processes with feet

Help to provide structural for framework CNS

Cell type includes ependyocytes and tanycytes

1. Brooke has been feeling ill lately and she goes to the emergency room. She has been vomiting excessively for 4 days and unable to hold down any food or water. Tests are run, and her arterial blood gas comes back as follows:

pH: 7.6

pCO2: 55mmHg

HCO3-:  28mEq

Diagnose the acid base disturbance. How do you know (i.e. is pH alkaline or acidic, is pCO2 alkaline or acidic, is bicarb alkaline or acidic) (3 POINTS)? What is likely the cause of this imbalance, why? How would the respiratory system compensate for this imbalance (2 POINTS)? How would the urinary system compensate for this imbalance.

2. What is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)? How does the GFR relate to net filtration pressure? What are 2 physiological mechanisms that can change the GFR, briefly explain how they affect the GFR? Identify a hormone that will increase the GFR. Identify a hormone that will decrease the GFR .

Individuals with diabetes mellitus have an increased risk for developing kidney disease due to accumulated damage to the nephrons. Based on our discussion of filtration, explain how an ACE inhibitor may prevent damage to the kidney individuals with diabetes. Explain how an ACE inhibitor works, what blood vessel(s) and any other structures that would be directly impacted by an ACE inhibitor, and how treatment with an ACE inhibitor could prevent damage to the nephrons.
