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
