Final Flashcards
The negative exponent of the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution
PH
A substance that dissacociates to release hydroxide ions or to remove hydrogen ions, increasing ph
Base
A solution with a pH of 7
Neutral
A substance that tends to oppose changes in the pH of a solution by removing or replacing hydrogen ions
Buffer
A solution with a pH above 7
Basic or alkaline
A substance that disassociates to release hydrogen ions, decreasing pH
Acid
An ionic compound consisting of a cation other than a hydrogen ion and an anion other than a hydroxide ion
Salt
A solution with a pH below 7
Acidic
T OR F. Metabolic acidosis develops when large numbers of hydrogen ions are removed from body fluids, resulting in an increase in pH
False
T OR F. Proteins are the most abundant solid components of body mass
True
T OR F. About half of daily water loss occurs through evaporation at the lungs
False
T OR F. Respiratory alkalosis can be treated by simply having the person breathe in and out of a paper bag
True
T OR F. Hypokalemia is caused by inadequate aldosterone secretion
False
T OR F. Iron is classified as a bulk mineral
False
T OR F. Carbonic acid is a volatile acid that forms through the interaction of water and carbon dioxide
True
T OR F. The pH of ECF normally ranges from 7.0 to 7.30
False
T OR F. The total body composition of adult males is 60 percent water and 40 percent solids, while for females total body composition is 50 percent water and 50 percent solids
True
T OR F. About 98 percent of the potassium content of the human body is in the ICF rather than the ECF
True
Monitor blood osmotic concentration
Osmoreceptors
Water gain equals water loss
Fluid balance
Major components of EFC
Plasma, intestinal fluid
Dominant cation in the ECF
Sodium
Hormone that restricts water loss and stimulates thirst
ADH
Caused by over hydration
Hyponatzemia
Dominant cations in ICF
Potassium
ICF and ECF
Fluid compartments
Most important sites of sodium ion regulation
Kidneys
Water movement between ECF AND ICF
Fluid shift
Water moves from cells into ECF
Hypertonic blood plasma
