Water Electrolyte And Acid Base Balance

Front 1

List the roles of calcium

Back 1

participates in muscle contraction,acts as second messenger and activates exocytosis during neurotransmission, acts as a factor for blood clotting and participates in bone and teeth development

Front 2

The two main categories of acid base imbalances are respiratory and

Back 2

metabolic

Front 3

___ is the principal cation of the ECF; it accounts for 90% to 95% of the osmolarity of the ecf and therefore it is the most significant solute in determining total body water

Back 3

sodium

Front 4

the plasma concentration of chloride less than 95mEg/L is called ____ and it is usually a side effect of hyponatremia

Back 4

Hypochloremia

Front 5

indicate which of the following leads to volume depletion or hypovolemia in which proportionate amounts of water and sodium are lost

Back 5

hemorrhage, diarrhea, chronic vomiting and severe burns

Front 6

___ excretion represents the major route of water loss

Back 6

urine

Front 7

Indicate which of the following are fast acting stiumuli that cause a short term inhibition of thirst

Back 7

cooling of the mouth and moistening of the mouth

Front 8

___ are important because they are chemically reactive participate in metabolism, determine the electrical potential (charge difference) across cell membranes, affect the osmolarity of the body fluids, and the body's water content and distribution

Back 8

electrolytes

Front 9

a pH below 7.35 is considered to be a state of

Back 9

acidosis

Front 10

indicate which of the following are the main functons of sodium

Back 10

it participates in cotransport if glucose, K+ and Ca+, it buffers the ECF (as sodium bicarbonate), it generate body heat (through the Na-K pump), participates in muscle and nerve depolarization (by inflow through membrane channels)
