the compositions of the ECF and ICF do/don’t change that much
don’t
the composition of the ECF is maintained by ________. The constancy of the ICF is mainly maintained by _________-
homeostasis, mechanisms which the cells possess
[glucose] in plasma between meals should be ________ mmol/L
4-5
if [glucose] in plasma increases, for ex. after a meal, the secretion of the hormone ______ increases too
insulin
_______ decreases the [glucose] in plasma
insulin
negative feedback works for the regulation of ___ (4)
[glucose], blood pressure, temperature, pH
at the beginning [K+] is high in/out the cell, and [Na+] is high in/out the cell
in, out
Approx ____ times the volume of water in a cell crosses the PM every second, but cells dont experience any swelling or shrinkage because the amt that diffuses in and out is balanced
100
if a conc. grad. of water does develop across a membrane, water will move _____ its conc. grad.
down
water will move passively down its own conc. grad. from an area of high water conc. (_______ solute conc.) to an area of lower water conc. (_______ solute conc)
lower, higher
Since solutions are always referred to in terms of conc. of ________, water moves by osmosis to the area of ________ solute concentration
SOLUTE, higher
the osmotic movement of water will only occur if the osmotic pressure of the ECF ______ from that of the ICF
differs
if the osmotic pressure of a solution is high, it has a _______ water conc. and a high ______ conc.
low, high
normally, the osmotic pressure of the ECF is _______ to the ICF
similar
when the osmotic activity of the ECF does change, it is usually due to ______ and ______
Na+ and its anions
