Fluid & Electrolytes

Question 1

hormone produced by the adrenal cortex with action in the renal tubule to regulate sodium balance in the blood; regulates blood pressure

Answer 1

Aldosterone

Question 2

Hormone that decreases the production of urine by increasing resorption of water by the renal tubules. It is secreted by cells of the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland to be secreted from the pituitary gland when needed

Answer 2

Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)

Question 3

Insufficient isotonic fluid in the extracellular compartment

Answer 3

Extracellular volume (ECV) deficit

Question 4

Excessive amount of isotonic fluid in the extracellular compartment

Answer 4

Extracellular volume (ECV) excess

Question 5

Excessive loss of water from the body tissues accompanied by a disturbance of body electrolytes; combination of ECV deficit and hypernatremia

Answer 5

Dehydration

Question 6

Liquid within the cell membrane

Answer 6

Intracellular fluid

Question 7

Portion of body fluids composed of the interstitial fluid and blood plasma outside of the cell

Answer 7

Extracellular fluid (ECF)

Question 8

Concentration or osmotic pressure of a solution expressed in osmosis or milliosmoles per kilogram of water. Measured by the concentration of sodium in body fluid

Answer 8

Osmolality
