Approximately two thirds of body fluid is intracellular fluid and one third is extracellular fluid.
a. True
b. False
a. True
Body water gain is regulated by the thirst center in the:
a. hypothalamus
b. cerebellum
c. ccerebrum
d. brainstem
a. hypothalamus
A decrease in volume and an increase in osmolarity of body fluids is:
a. Hyponatremia
b. Over-hydration
c. Dehydration
d. Hypervolemia
c. Dehydration
Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
a. Dehydration stimulates angiotensin II and aldosterone to promote urinary reabsorption of sodium ions and chloride ions leading to a decrease in water absorption by osmosis.
b. Stretching of the heart atria in response to increased blood volume could result in release of the atrial natriuretic peptide leading to natriuresis and promotion of water excretion.
c. An increase in blood volume would slow renin release leading to a decline in angiotensin II and aldosterone leading to loss of more water in urine.
d. An increase in osmolarity stimulates release of antidiuretic hormone which increases the permeability of principal cells to water returning to the blood stream.
e. A large decrease in blood volume will stimulate ADH release.
a. Dehydration stimulates angiotensin II and aldosterone to promote urinary reabsorption of sodium ions and chloride ions leading to a decrease in water absorption by osmosis.
