Movement of any substance across any membrane or without a membrane

Question 15

Solution

Answer 15

A liquid mixture with something dissolved into it

Question 16

Solvent

Answer 16

A substance that dissolves a solute (usually a liquid)

Question 17

Solute

Answer 17

The substance that is dissolved in the solvent

Question 18

Hypotonic Solution

Answer 18

Has a lower concentration of solute and causes water to move into cells (causes them to burst)

Question 19

Hypertonic Solution

Answer 19

Has a higher concentration of solute and causes water to move out of a cell (causing it to shrink)

Question 20

Isotonic Solution

Answer 20

A solution that is in equilibrium (equal amounts of salt and water)

Question 21

What system controls feedback loops?

Answer 21

The endocrine system (hormones)

Question 22

How does the blood clotting process work?

Answer 22

The body senses the damaged blood vessel and sends signals for platelets. The clotting platelets release chemicals and the released chemicals create more platelets. This process continues until a platelet plug forms and the break is sealed.

Question 23

What does epinephrine (adrenaline) do?

Answer 23

Dilates respiratory passages and treats anaphylaxis

What is "shunting" blood?

Answer 29

When the body trys to maintain blood flow to organs by moving it away from non-essential areas (like the skin)

Question 30

What are the steps of a primary assesment?

Answer 30

General impression, determine MOI, determine if spine stabilization is necessary, and check the ABCs of breathing

Question 31

Rapid physical assessment, vitals, patient history, and emergency care

Question 32

What is evaluated in the rapid physical assesment or the "head to toe" exam
