Chapters 23, 24, 25 Flashcards
Antidiuretic hormone acts on the _____ to promote water retention.
collecting duct
Which term describes excessive urine output?
polyuria
The micturition reflex
is the predominant mechanism that voids the bladder in infants.
Loop diuretics reduce body water content by acting on
the countercurrent multiplier system.
Normal urine from a healthy person can be expected to contain all of the following except
glucose
Which muscle is located in the bladder?
detrusor
Which of the following is not an organ of the urinary system?
thoracic collecting duct
Which two substances are most useful for determining a patient’s glomerular filtration rate?
inulin and creatinine
Which of the following conditions may result from loss of proportional amounts of water and sodium?
volume depletion
This hormone, produced by the hypothalamus, will stimulate the collecting ducts and the distal convoluted tubules to retain more water.
ADH
Dehydration will most likely cause plasma to become ________________.
hypertonic
_____ is the most significant solute in determining the distribution of water among fluid compartments.
Na+
Blood plasma osmolarity is higher than intracellular fluid osmolarity.
False
Fluid intake is governed mainly by hypothalamic neurons called
osmoreceptors
Hemorrhages
decrease body water but do not significantly affect osmolarity.
This condition can cause hypokalemia.
aldosterone hypersecretion
_______ causes muscular weakness, depressed reflexes, and cardiac arrhythmia.
Hypercalcemia
Which of the following neutralizes more acid or base than the others?
kidneys
This condition may be caused by hyperventilation.
respiratory alkalosis
___ represents the complete chemical reaction for the bicarbonate buffer system.
CO2 + H2O H2CO3 HCO3- + H+
A weak base
binds little H+ and has a weak effect on pH.
Calcium concentration is regulated by
hormones.
Chloride homeostasis is achieved mainly as a result of ___ homeostasis.
Na+
Chronic vomiting can lead to
metabolic alkalosis
The bicarbonate buffer system would not work very well in the human body if not for the action of the respiratory system, which
expels CO2 produced by the buffer system.
The major chemical buffers systems of the body are the ___ systems.
bicarbonate, phosphate, and protein
The pH of the intracellular fluid is buffered mainly by
proteins
These scenarios are related with hyperkalemia except
resting membrane potential is more negative.
This is the greatest determinant of intracellular volume.
K+
Tissue fluid normally has a pH of
7.35-7.45
