Question
Answer
This is the most abundant body compound.   Water  
🗑
Water is 80% in the body of a...   Newborn Infant  
🗑
Water is 63% in the body of an adult...   Male  
🗑
Water is 52% in the body of an adult...   Female  
🗑
The largest fluid compartment of the body, located inside cells, serves as a solvent to facilitate intracellular chemical reactions.   Intracellular fluid  
🗑
This is called the internal environment of the body; surrounds cells and transports substances to and from them.   Extracellular Fluid  
🗑
This is aka as intravascular fluid; has noncellular portion of blood.   Plasma  
🗑
This fluid is located in the tissue spaces between the cells with a lower relative osmotic pressure than plasma.   Interstitial Fluid  
🗑
This fluid is separated from other extracellular fluid by a layer of epithelium.   Transcellular Fluid  
🗑
This refers to the osmotic pressure of any solution relative to the osmotic pressure of plasma; has 3 types.   Tonicity  
🗑
This type of solution have the same effective osmotic pressure as that of plasma.   Isotonic  
🗑
This type of solution have an osmotic pressure that is lower than that of plasma and will cause cells to swell and eventually burst.   Hypotonic  
🗑
This is another word for 'cells excessively swelling and bursting'.   Hemolyze  
🗑
This type of solution have a higher osmotic pressure than that of plasma and will cause cells to shrink.   Hypertonic  
🗑
This is another word for 'cells shrinking'.   Crenate  
🗑
This is the pressure exerted by fluids; constantly forces fluid from plasma through the capillary membrane into the interstitial fluid.   Hydrostatic Pressure  
🗑
This is a solution's potential pressure caused by nondiffusible solute particles in the solution; pressure needed to stop osmosis.   Osmotic Pressure  
🗑
This is when the extracellular fluid becomes hypertonic and the result can be that fluid shifts from the cell toward the extracellular fluid.   Dehydration  
🗑
This is when the extracellular fluid becomes hypertonic and fluid will shift to the inside of the cell; also called water intoxication.   Hyperhydration  
🗑
This type of metabolism produces some water.   Oxidative  
🗑
This is when water is lost in urine, feces, and sweat, and by evaporation from the skin and lungs.   Water output  
🗑
This is when water output exceeds water intake.   Dehydration  
🗑
This is an increase in the volume of free water in the body resulting in dilutional hyponatremia.   Water Intoxication  
🗑
This is the abnormal accumulation of extracellular fluid within the interstitial spaces; swelling.   Edema  
🗑
This is the most abundant extracellular cation.   Sodium  
🗑
Sodium balance is regulated by this hormone.   Aldosterone  
🗑
Aldosterone is secreted by this.   Adrenal Cortex  
🗑
This is the most abundant intracellular cation.   Potassium  
🗑
Potassium balance is indirectly controlled by this hormone.   Aldosterone  
🗑
This is the most abundant ion in the body.   Calcium  
🗑
This electrolyte is primarily an intracellular cation that is also found in bone.   Magnesium  
🗑
This intracellular electrolyte found most abundantly in the bones with the rest combined with lipids, proteins, carbs, etc.   Phosphate  
🗑
The major extracellular anion that can easily diffuse between the extracellular and intracellular compartments.   Chloride  
🗑
This is predominantly and extracellular anion that is important in the acid/base regulation of the body.   Bicarbonate  
🗑
Cation (Na+)   Sodium  
🗑
Cation (K+)   Potassium  
🗑
Cation (Ca++)   Calcium  
🗑
Cation (Mg++)   Magnesium  
🗑
Anion (Cl--)   Chloride  
🗑
Anion (HCO3-)   Bicarbonate  
🗑
Anion (HPO4-2)   Phosphate  
🗑
This is when your body has lower sodium level than normal blood.   Hypoatremia  
🗑
This is when your body has higher sodium level than normal blood.   Hyperatremia  
🗑
This is when your body has lower than normal levels of potassium.   Hypokalemia  
🗑
This is when your body has higher than normal levels of potassium.   Hyperkalemia  
🗑

🗑
This regulates water intake.   Thirst  
🗑
This ion is regulated by calcion and parathyroid hormone.   Calcium  
🗑
