QuestionAnswer
intracellular fluid ICF is found in the cells of the body
the componets of exteracellular fluid ecf include all cerebrospinal fluid, blood plasma and lymph, interstitial fluid
the principal cation in intracellular fluid is K, pottassium
when water is lost , but electrolytes are retained, osmosis moves water from the ICF to the ECF
When alrge amounts of pure water are consumed osmmolarities of the two compartments are slightly lower
consuming a meal high in salt will result in a temporary increase in blood volume
antidiuretic hormone stimuleates water conservation by the kidneys
aldosterone promotes sodium retention in the kidneys
atrial natriuretic pepetide does all fo the foollwing expect that it blcoks the realase of glucocorticoiuds during the stress response it does.... reduce thrist , blcok the relaese of aldosterone , blcok the release of ADH , and promote diuresis
when the elvel of sodium ion in exteracellular fluid decreases, there is an increase in the hlevel of aldosterone
when the amount of sodium ion in extracellular fluid inceases osmoreceptors are stimulated
excess potassium ion is elimanated from teh body by the kidneys
the amount of potassium secreted by the kidneys is regulated by aldosterone
calcium reabsorption by the kidneys is promoted by the hormone calcitrol
each of the following statements concering chloride ions is true except that large amounts of chloride ions are lost each day in teh urine
the primary role of carbonic acid bicarbonate buffer system is to prevent pH changes caused by organic and fixed acids
acidosis can cause all fo the following except coma and death, but it can cause kidney failure , cardiac arrhythmias , heart failure , peripheral vasoconstriciton
hypoventilation would cause respiratory acidosis
in response to resiratory alkolosis, the body retains more carbon dioxide
prolonged vomiting can result in metabolic alkalosis a
a persona with emphysema will exhibit signs of respiratory acidosis
a person with chronic diabetes will exhibit signs of metabolic acidosis
a mountain climber at high altitude may lose consciousness as the result of respiratory alkalosis
a person who chronically consumes large amounts of antaacids to settle an upset stomach may risk metabolic alkalosis
a person with nephritis ( an inflammation of the kidneys ) will show symptoms of metabolic acidosis
to survive humans must maintain an ormal volume and composition of plasma , body fluids , ecf and icf - all of the above
which hormone stimulates the thirst mechanism ADH
water accounts for approximately ____ percent of the body weight in an adult male 60
all of the following are componets of ECF except plasma,
which hormone plays a role in determining the reate of sodium aborption and potassium loss aldosterone
exchange among subdivisions of ECF occurs primarily in the capillaries
whcih hormone is released by cardiac muscle in response to abnormal stretching of the heart walls natriuretic peptide
you are caring for a patient who has been vomiting and having diarrhea for the past five days you suspect that his electrolyte levels are decreased
which hormone effect osmotic concentration ADH
approxiately ___________liters of peritoneal fluid are produced and reabsorbed each day 7
the most common problems with electroyte balance are caused by an imbalance between gains and losses of\ sodium ions
the higher the plasma concentration of aldosterone , the more efficiently the kidney will conserve sodium ions
angiotensin II produces a coordinated elevation in the ECF wolume by triggering the production and secretion of aldosterone , causing the release of ADH , stimulating thirst
Renal failure can result in hyperkalemia
which of the following is greater the amount of ADH released when blood osmolarity is high
secretion of potassium into the urine is associated with teh reabsorption of sodium form the distal tubules and collecing ducts
Factors that increase the secretion of antidiuretic hormone influde all all of the following except except increased concentration of K ions in the ICF , but do include ( water deprivation k increased Na concentration in ECF , decreased renal blood flow
dehydration will cause increased thirst
in whcih case is the pH lower afterhypoventilating
when the pH of the exteracellular fluid declines the kidneys secrete more potassium ions
what effect would a decrease in pH have on the amount of potassium ions in the urine a decrease in teh amouunt of potassium in the urine
in response to a rapid increase of organic acids in the body , you would expect to observe all of the following except except decreased respiration rate ( but would, increased alveolar ventilation , decreased blood pH , increased rate , increased blood pressure
