Question 2

Matching

Match each nutrition term with the appropriate definition.

Premises:
fluid and electrolyte balance
acids
pH
hormones
buffers
antibodies
bases
alkalosis
acidosis
edema
acid-base balance
Responses:
large proteins of the blood and body fluids, produced in response to invasion of the body by unfamiliar molecules called antigens.
the balance maintained between acid and base concentrations in the blood and body fluids.
chemical messengers.
compounds that accept hydrogen ions in a solution.
too much acid in the blood and body fluids.
compounds that can reversibly combine with hydrogen ions to help keep a solution's acidity or alkalinity constant.
the swelling of body tissue caused by leakage of fluid from the blood vessels and accumulation of the fluid in the interstitial spaces.
the concentration of hydrogen ions.
too much base in the blood and body fluids.
compounds that release hydrogen ions in a solution.
maintenance of the necessary amounts and types of fluid and minerals in each compartment of the body fluids.
