| What happens in the tissue when capillary blood pressure is less than osmotic pressure? | Fluid enters the capillaries from interstitial spaces |
| What effect does drinking seawater have on the body? | The net transfer of water from the inside of your cells to the outside will cause the cells to shrink considerably. Osmosis happens and dehydration |
| Functionally, total body water can be subdivided into the | intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments |

| In clinical medicine, the term _____ is used to describe an arterial blood pH of less than 7.5. | acidosis |
| Although both acid and base components are important, the homeostasis of body pH largely depends on the control of _____ ion concentration in the _____ fluid. | hydrogen; extracellular |
| What two factors together determine urine volume? | glomerular filtration rate and rate of water reabsorption |
| According to Starling’s law of the capillaries, the control mechanism for water exchange between plasma and interstitial fluid consists of all of the following pressures except _____ pressure. | colloid diffusion |
