In each blank, try to type in the
word that is missing. If you've
typed in the correct word, the
blank will turn green.
If your not sure what answer should be entered, press the space bar and the next missing letter will be displayed. When you are all done, you should look back over all your answers and review the ones in red. These ones in red are the ones which you needed help on.

Answer: the pressure a liquid exerts on the of the container that holds it; also called filtration force Question: transportAnswer: movement of substances across cell membranes against the concentration Question: Insensible lossAnswer: fluid loss that is not to the individual Question: lossesAnswer: essential fluid losses required to body functioning Question: -angiotensin-aldosterone systemAnswer: system initiated by specialized receptors in the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney nephrons that respond to changes in perfusion Question: AcidAnswer: a substance that releases hydrogen ions (H+) in Question: Bases
Answer: (alkalis) have low hydrogen ion concentration and can accept hydrogen ions in Question: Answer: prevent excessive changes in pH by or releasing hydrogen ions Question: Answer: a condition that occurs with increases in blood carbonic acid or with decreases in blood bicarbonate; pH below 7.35 Question: AlkalosisAnswer: a condition that occurs with increases in bicarbonate or decreases in blood carbonic acid; blood pH above 7.45 Question: volume deficit (FVD)Answer: (hypovolemia) loss of both water and electrolytes in similar proportions from the Question: volume excess (FVE)Answer: (hypervolemia) retention of both water and sodium in proportions to normal ECF Question: Third space Answer: fluid shifts from the space into an area where it is not readily accessible as extracellular fluid Question: Answer: deficiency of sodium in the plasma Question: Answer: an of sodium in the blood plasma Question: Hypokalemia
