If two electrodes charged with a weak current were placed in a solution of NaCl, the negative electrode would attract the:

What are anions? What are cations? Give examples of each.

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

Ringer solution is often described as normal saline solution modified by the addition of:

Functionally, total body water can be subdivided into two fluid compartments-plasma and interstitial.

In patients with severe burn injuries, what mechanism is responsible for the increased risk of hypovolemic shock?

The volume of interstitial fluid is greater than the volume of plasma.

Which of the following is not true of sodium chloride (NaCl)?

If two electrodes charged with a weak current were placed in a solution of NaCl, the negative electrode would attract:

Juxtaglomerular cells are located in the:

An imbalance of electrolytes between the cells and intercellular areas will cause an imbalance of fluids.

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

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

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

An intravenous addition of sodium can be used to treat:

Aldosterone and ADH both regulate body fluid by causing absorption of sodium.

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

Blood hydrostatic pressure tends to force fluid out of capillaries and into interstitial fluid.

Strenuous physical activity on a hot day can generate as much as 5 L of sweat a day.

When the effective filtration pressure equals zero:
