question
If you gain weight from increased adipose connective tissue, will your percentage of body fluid increase, decrease, or stay the same?
answer
Decrease
question
Which ions are more prevalent in the intracellular fluid? Which are more prevalent in the extracellular fluid?
answer
Intracellular fluid: K+, Mg2+, PO43- Extracellular fluid: Na+, Ca2+, Cl-, HCO3-
question
When you are dehydrated, is the net movement of fluid from the blood plasma into the cells or from the cells into the blood plasma?
answer
Cells into the blood plasma
question
What are the two major sources of fluid intake? What are the different means of fluid output, and which one is regulated based on the hydrated state of the body?
answer
Performed water from food and drink; metabolic water Breathing, sweating, cutaneous transpiration, defecation, urination (regulated based on hydration)
question
What would distinguish fluid deficiency from dehydration in terms of changes in total body fluid, changes in blood osmolarity, and fluid movement between compartments?
answer
With dehydration, water loss is greater than the loss of solutes, the blood becomes hypertonic, and water moves from cells into the interstitial fluid and blood plasma. With fluid deficiency, the fluid loss is isotonic, there are no changes in osmolarity and no movement between compartments.
question
What stimuli activate the thirst center?
answer
Decreased salivary secretions, increased blood osmolarity, decreased blood pressure
question
What is the net direction of K+ movement in response to a decrease in pH? Why?
answer
H+ moves from the ECF into the ICF to reestablish acid-base balance, and K+ moves in the opposite direction, from ICF into the ECF, to prevent the development of an electrostatic gradient.
question
Compare and contrast the effects of antidiuretic hormone and angiotensin II.
answer
Both stimulate vasoconstriction at high doses, increasing systemic blood pressure. Both decrease urine output, angiotensin II by decreased GFR, and ADH by increased water reabsorption. Both stimulate the thirst center. Angiotensin II also indirectly stimulates the release of ADH and aldosterone.
question

answer
Angiotensin II, decreased plasma Na+ levels, increased plasma K+ levels
question

answer
They reabsorb all filtered HCO3-, synthesize and absorb new HCO3- , and excrete H+ into the filtrate.
question
