Which body location is not one that is usually impacted by edema? | Kidneys |
Edema may occur when | sodium is retained in the extracellular fluid as a result of increased aldosterone secretion or after serious renal disease such as acute glomerulonephritis; an increase in capillary blood pressure occurs |
Cerebrospinal fluid is part of the | extracellular fluid |
Which of the following is a true statement | Venous blood has a lower hydrogen ion concentration than arterial blood |
What happens in the tissue when capillary blood pressure is less than osmotic pressure? | Fluid enters the capillaries from interstitial spaces |
Abnormally excessive water losses constitute a volume deficit and can lead to a state of dehydration or | hypovolemia |
The mechanism that tends to restore normal extracellular fluid volume when it decreases below normal is the | ADH mechanism; osmoreceptor; aldosterone mechanism |
The substances absorbed into the lymph capillaries are: | glycerol and fatty acids |
Hydrolysis refers to | using water to split larger compounds into smaller ones |
Which of these is not an example of mechanical digestion | moistening the food |
