Question
Answer
How much of the total volume of body fluid is intracellular fluid   2/3  
🗑
80% of the extracellular fluid is   interstitial fluid  
🗑
This occurs when water loss is greater than water gain   dehydration  
🗑
Which of the following is used to promote water reabsorption by the kidneys   antidiuretic hormone  
🗑
Water intoxication results from   dilute body fluids and a decrease in the osmolarity of interstitial fluids  
🗑
Which of the following is a specific function of electrolytes in the body   carry electrical currents  
🗑
In extracellular fluid the most abundant cation is   Na+  
🗑
In extracellular fluid is the most abundant anion is   Cl-  
🗑
In intracellular fluid the most abundant cation is   K+  
🗑
The Na+ level in blood is controlled by   aldosterone  
🗑
This occurs between RBC and blood plasma as the blood level of carbon dioxide increases or decreases   chloride shift  
🗑
This is the most abundant mineral in the body   Calcium  
🗑
PTH, calcitriol and calcitonin are   the main regulators of calcium in the blood  
🗑
Buffer systems, exhaling carbon dioxide and excretion by the kidneys are all   ways to eliminate H+  
🗑
This is a condition where blood pH is below 7.35   acidosis  
🗑
Inadequate exhalation of carbon dioxide can cause   blood pH to decrease  
🗑
This imbalance results when systemic arterial blood CO2 levels raise to abnormal values   respiratory acidosis  
🗑
This is the most common cause of metabolic alkalosis   vomiting  
🗑
This is the most common cause of transitory respiratory alkalosis   hyperventiliation  
🗑
The rate of fluid intake and outtake is how much higher in an infant than in an adult   7 times higher  
🗑
The largest volume of body fluid is located   within cells  
🗑
Bone, DNA, RNA, ATP, and cell membranes all have one thing in common   phosphate  
🗑
Levels of which of the following are regulated by aldosterone   sodium  
🗑
Electrolytes   dissociate into anions and cations  
🗑
Reabsorption of sodium from the tubules of the nephron establishes an osmotic gradient that causes this to move back into the blood   water  
🗑
The cerebrospinal fluid in the brain is classified as   extracellular fluid  
🗑
Hyperventilation during a panic attack cause an increase in blood   partial pressure of CO2  
🗑
The oxygen atoms that we breath in are used immediately in aerobic respiration to make ATP and   H2O  
🗑
ADH and aldosterone are hormones that regulate fluid loss   True  
🗑
The primary way to increase body water is to increase the formation of metabolic water   False  
🗑
Most buffers consist of a mixture of weak acid that can donate H+ and the salt of that weak acid that can accept H+. Through this action pH change is resisted due to increases and decreases in H+ concentration   True  
🗑
An increase in blood volume will stimulate thirst   False  
🗑
Albumin is a protein "buffer" in blood plasma   True  
🗑
Changes in osmolarity and osmosis are the primary cause of water movements between various fluid compartments in the body   True  
🗑
List four hormones that regulate urine production in the kidneys   ADH, aldosterone, angiotensin II, atrial naturetic peptide  
🗑
Can be caused by oxygen deficiency at high altitude, stroke, or severe anxiety   Respiratory alkalosis  
🗑
Can be caused by excessive vomiting of gastric contents, gastric suctioning, use of certain diuretics, severe dehydration or excessive intake of alkaline drugs   Metabolic alkalosis  
🗑
An abdominal increase in the volume of interstitial fluid   Edema  
🗑
Can occur during renal failure or destruction of body cells that release phosphates into the blood   Hyperphosphatemia  
🗑
Can be caused by excessive water intake, excessive vomiting, or aldosterone deficiency   Hyponatremia  
🗑
Can be caused by emphysema, pulmonary edema, injury to the respiratory center of the medulla oblongata, airway destruction, or disorders of the muscles of breathing   Respiratory acidosis  
🗑
Can occur from hypoparathyroidism   Hypocalcemia  
🗑
Can be caused by decreases potassium intake or kidney disease; results in muscle fatigue, increased urine output, changes in electrocardiogram   Hypokalemia  
🗑
Condition that can occur as water moves out of plasma into interstitial fluid and blood volume decreases   Hypovolemia  
🗑
Can be caused by excessive sodium in the diet or with dehydration   Hypernatremia  
🗑
Occurs when water loss is greater than water gain   Dehydration  
🗑
The swelling of cells due to water moving from plasma into interstitial fluid and then into cells   Water intoxication  
🗑
