Insensible is unseen Ex- expired breath
Most sensible water loss is lost in
Urine
Thirst is felt when
Plasma osmolarity decreases
Where is the feeling of thirst is generated?
Hypothalamus
What is water intoxication? How can excess water lead to cerebral edema?
water intoxication is when water is being consumed in a high quantity causing electrolyte balance. water draws through the blood-barrier due to osmosis
Which ion so the most abundant in intracellular fluid?
k+
which hormone is the primary regulator of plasma Na+ concentration?
Aldosterone (ALD)
Which ion is a blood clotting factor?
Ca++
When H+ concentration increases, pH
Decreases
The osmolarity of extracellular fluid is mainly contributed by
NA+
How does a buffer affects pH?
It resists the change in pH
Define metabolic water
Water created inside a living organism through metabolism, by oxidizing energy-contains substance in food and adipose. ex- water gain
Hypoventilation
