Edema is defined as abnormally large amounts of fluid in the:

Match each term related to abnormal conditions with its corresponding definition or explanation. -an abnormally large amount of fluid in the intercellular tissue spaces of the body

Acidosis can be rapidly treated by the intravenous administration of lactate.

The nephron has the ability to produce almost sodium-free urine.

Compare the chemical compositions of plasma,interstitial fluid,and intracellular fluid.

The reactivity or combining power of an electrolyte depends solely on the number of molecular particles present.

Match each term related to abnormal conditions with its corresponding definition or explanation. -a condition of decreased serum sodium concentration below the normal range

Lymph,joint fluid,and the fluid in joint capsules is considered transcellular fluid.

Plasma,synovial fluid,and cerebrospinal fluid are all examples of extracellular fluid.

If the other three forces that determine fluid movement were unchanged,an increase in blood hydrostatic pressure would cause edema.

The body's major fluid compartments are called the extracellular and intracellular fluid compartments.

Chemical similarity predominates between the two extracellular fluids.

What are two means of obligatory water loss?

Normal values for total body water as a percentage of body weight will vary from 45% to 75%.

Because fat tissue contains the least amount of water of any tissue in the body,obese people tend to have a lower percent of body water.
