Intracellular fluid is found in
|
the cells of the body
|
|
The components of the extracellular fluid include
a. blood plasma and lymph b. interstitial fluid c. cerebrospinal fluid d. all of the above |
d. all of the above
|
|
The principal cation in intracellular fluid is
|
potassium
|
|
When water is lost but electrolytes are retained:
|
osmosis moves water from the intracellular fluid to the extracellular fluid
|
|
Consuming a meal high in salt will
|
result in temporary increase in blood volume
|
|
Antidiuretic hormone:
|
stimulates water conservation by the kidneys
|
|
Aldosterone
|
promotes sodium retention in the kidneys
|
|
Atrial natriuretic peptide does all of the following, except
|
blocks the release of glucocorticoids during the stress response
|
|
When the level of sodium ion in extracellular fluid decreases
|
there is an increase in the level of aldosterone
|
|
Excess potassium ion is eliminated from the body by
|
the kidneys
|
|
Calcium homeostasis primarily effects:
|
an interplay between reserves in the bone, the rate of absorption, and the rate of excretion
|
|
Calcium reabsorption by the kidneys is promoted by the hormone
|
calcitriol
|
|
Each of the following statements concerning chloride ions is true except one. Identify the exception.
a. Chloride ions are the most abundant anions in the extracellular fluid. b. Chloride ion concentrations in the intracellular fluid are usually low. c. Chloride ions are absorbed along the digestive tract in the company of sodium ions. d. Large amounts of chloride ions are lost each day in the urine. |
d. Large amounts of chloride ions are lost each day in the urine.
|
|
The most important factor affecting the pH of body tissues is the concentration of
|
carbon dioxide
|
|
Changes in the pH of the body fluids are compensated for by all of the following, except
a. an increase in urine output b. the carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system c. protein buffers d. changes in the rate and depth of breathing |
a. an increase in urine output
|
|
Hypoventilation would cause
|
respiratory acidosis
|
|
In response to respiratory alkalosis, the
|
body retains more carbon dioxide
|
|
A person who suffers from emphysema will exhibit signs of
|
respiratory acidosis
|
|
A mountain climber at high altitude may lose consciousness as the result of
|
respiratory alkalosis
|
|
Dehydration will cause
|
increased thirst
