front 1 In which compartment of the body is the majority of water stored? | back 1 intracellular fluid (ICF) compartment |
front 2 What is the most common cation found in the interstitial fluid? | back 2 Sodium |
front 3 What is the most abundant intracellular cation? | back 3 Potassium |
front 4 The majority of the fluid in the body is the __________. | back 4 intracellular fluid |
front 5 Which of the following describes the distribution of sodium and potassium between cells and body fluids? | back 5 K+ mainly in the cells, Na+ in the body fluids |
front 6 Adipose tissue is one of the most hydrated of all tissues in the human body. | back 6 false |
front 7 What accounts for the route through which most fluid is lost in a day? | back 7 urine |
front 8 Which of the following is NOT involved in triggering the thirst mechanism? | back 8 increase in blood pressure |
front 9 What hormone helps to maintain correct extracellular fluid (ECF) osmolality when concentrations become too high? | back 9 antidiuretic hormone (ADH) |
front 10 Which of the following conditions promotes edema? | back 10 hypoproteinemia |
front 11 What results from increased levels of aldosterone? | back 11 increased Na+ reabsorption |
front 12 Which of the following does NOT impact how much sodium is reabsorbed? | back 12 transport maximum of the renal proximal tubule |
front 13 what impact how much sodium is reabsorbed? | back 13 transport maximum of the renal proximal tubule |
front 14 Although the sodium content of the body may be altered, its concentration in the ECF remains relatively stable because of immediate adjustments in water volume. | back 14 true |
front 15 Of the three buffering mechanisms in the body, which is the strongest? | back 15 renal system |
front 16 The bicarbonate buffer system is one of the chemical buffer systems of the body. How would the bicarbonate buffer system work if sodium hydroxide were added to a solution? | back 16 A hydrogen on carbonic acid would dissociate and join the hydroxyl group on the base to form water and sodium bicarbonate. |
front 17 The respiratory system is one of the three systems that regulate acid-base balance in the body. How does it work to decrease an acidosis? | back 17 Carbonic acid is broken down into water and CO2; the CO2 is then exhaled. |
front 18 In a respiratory acidosis the kidney would do which of the following? | back 18 The kidney would reabsorb bicarbonate and secrete hydrogen ions. |
front 19 Ingesting too much antacid would cause which of the following acid-base disturbances? | back 19 metabolic alkalosis |
front 20 Vomiting will cause which type of acid-base disturbance? | back 20 metabolic alkalosis |
front 21 Severe anxiety would cause which type of acid-base disturbance? What would be the compensation? | back 21 respiratory alkalosis; kidneys would excrete HCO3 |
front 22 A falling blood pH and a rising partial pressure of carbon dioxide due to pneumonia or emphysema indicates ________. | back 22 respiratory acidosis |
front 23 The single most important blood buffer system is the bicarbonate buffer system. | back 23 true |
front 24 The normal pH of blood is 7.35-7.45. | back 24 true |
