QuestionAnswer
How is fluid balanced maintained? It is only maintained if intake equals output
What happens when extracellular fluid volume decreases below normal?
What is an example of a mechanism that can help the body to re-establish fluid balance? ALDOSTERONE MECHANISM
What incident occurs due to exercise? DEHYDRATION
What does dehydration cause? It causes extracellular fluid volume including blood volume to decrease, which causes arterial blood pressure to decrease as well.
What kind of receptors are located in the walls of certain arteries ? What do they detect? what do they stimulate? BARROW RECEPTORS are located in certain arteries nd detect a decrese in blood pressure. They trigger impulses to be sent to the thirst center in the hypothalamus of the brain (stimulate baroreceptors)
A decrease in blood volume is detected by which type of cells in what organ? How do they respond? Special cells in the kidney respond by releasing an enzyme in lthe blood . Leading to a chain reaction, eventually stimulating the manufacture and release of the HORMONE ALDOSTERONE fromt the ADRENAL CORTEX.
What does the increase in the HORMONE ALDOSTERONE KIDNEY TUBULE REABSORPTION OF SODIUM
What is KIDNEY TUBULE REAPSORPTION of sodium? The movement of sodium from the blood and into the extracellular fluid.
What does the movement of sodium into the extracellur body increase? an increase of the total sodium content of the body.
Where salt goes what follows? WATER
Water (H20) re-absorption increases as what is re-absorbed? SODIUM
What is the result of water and sodium re-absorption? DECREASE URINE VOLUME (OUTPUT) to compensate for the decreased intake and increase in water volume in the extracellular fluid to bring water level back within the normal volume levels.
