Exam 32: Fluid and Electrolyte Balance

Edema may occur when:

When a 6% body weight loss occurs because of dehydration,it causes an increase in pulse rate,body temperature,and respiration rate.

Match each term with its corresponding definition. -force that acts to move fluid out of the blood and into the tissue space

Match each term with its corresponding definition. -surrounding the cell

Calcium has an atomic weight of 40,and a valance of +2.A 5 mg% solution would have a milliequivalence of 1.25.

The tonicity of a solution is not important when it is administered subcutaneously.

Which of the following two forces tend to move fluid into the blood vessel?

If the volume of fluid and electrolyte levels inside and outside the cell remains relatively constant,a condition of homeostasis exists.

Which of the following is the formula representing the Starling law of capillaries?

Hypochloremia is frequently linked to cases of potassium loss.

A decrease in interstitial fluid sodium concentration will cause an immediate increase in interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure.

Physiologically,the valence of an electrolyte is more important than the number of particles in a solution.

Too much potassium can be more dangerous than too little potassium.

The milliequivalent is a measure of the weight of an electrolyte.

The lungs are a source of water loss for the body.

Cerebrospinal fluid is part of the:

Extracellular fluid has two main functions-providing a relatively constant internal environment for the cells and transporting materials to and from them.

Osmoreceptors are cells able to detect an increase in solute concentration in extracellular fluid caused by water loss.

The total fluid or water content of the human body ranges from _____ of its total weight.

Angiotensin I and angiotensin II increase the secretion of aldosterone.
