| Respiratory acidosis | (hypercapnia) a state of excess carbon dioxide in the body |
| Colloid osmotic pressure or Oncotic pressure | a pulling force exerted by colloids that help maintain the water content of blood |
| Selectively permeable | cell membranes that allow substances move across them with varying degrees of ease |
| Hypokalemia | deficiency of potassium in the blood plasma |
| Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system | system initiated by specialized receptors in the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney nephrons that respond to changes in renal perfusion |
| Hematocrit | the proportion of red blood cells (erythrocytes) to the total blood volume |
| Hyperchloremia | an excess of chloride in the blood plasma |
| Colloids | substances such as large protein molecules that do not readily dissolve into true solutions |

| Alkalosis | a condition that occurs with increases in blood bicarbonate or decreases in blood carbonic acid; blood pH above 7.45 |
| Hypophosphatemia | deficiency in phosphate in the blood plasma |
| Interstitial fluid | fluid that surrounds the cells, includes lymph, accounts for about 75% of the ECF |
| Milliequivalent | one-thousandth of an equivalent, which is the chemical combining power of a substance |
| Hypotonic | solutions that have a lower osmolality than body fluids |
