🗑
Normal pH serum level   7.35-7.45  
🗑
pH > 7.45   alkalosis  
🗑
pH < 7.35   acidosis  
🗑

🗑
PCO2 < 35 (too little acid)   respiratory alkalosis  
🗑
PCO2 > 45 (too much acid)   respiratory acidosis  
🗑

🗑
intravascular Fluid   within the blood, transports RBC  
🗑
transcellular fluid   CSF, pleural, peritoneal, synovial, & digestive fluids  
🗑
Osmosis -- NO ATP required   less concentration to higher concentration  
🗑
Diffusion -- NO ATP required   High concentration to a lower concentration  
🗑
Filtration -- NO ATP required   high pressure to lower pressure  
🗑
Osmotic pressure NO ATP required   the power of a solution to draw water  
🗑
ADH   antidiuretic hormone  
🗑
ADH is released from   pituitary gland  
🗑
ADH causes the kidneys to   retain fluid when blood volume is low excrete fluid when the volume is in excess  
🗑
ADH is released in response to   Fever, pain, stress, & some ovoid use  
🗑
the ratio of Carbonic acid and Sodium Bicarbonate is   1:20  
🗑
pH below 6.9 or above 7.8 is generally   FATAL  
🗑
pH is too acidic   Lungs remove CO2 by rapid, deep breathing (reduces CO2 available to make carbonic acid)  
🗑
pH is too alkaline   Lungs conserve CO2 by shallow, slow breathing  
🗑
Serum pH is acidic the kidneys   Conserve bicarbonate to neutralize  
🗑
Serum pH is alkaline the kidneys   Excrete bicarbonate to lower the amount of base  
🗑

🗑
Hyplvolemia   Loss of Fluids and electrolytes EFC (surgery, trauma, or uterine rupture)  
🗑
Dehydration   State of negative fluid balance  
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
