Fluid, Electrolytes, and Acid-Base Balance

Question 1

Intracellular fluid

Answer 1

-makes about 2/3 of fluids in the body
-has the key ion K+

Question 2

Extracellular Fluid

Answer 2

about 1/3 of all fluids in the humany body
-intravascular fluid aka plasma
-interstitial fluid aka fluid between cells
-there are others
-has the key ion Na+

Question 3

Osmosis

Answer 3

the movement of water to an area with a greater amount of solute

Question 4

If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution…

Answer 4

fluid leaves the cell because the cell is considered “hypotonic” to the solution (meaning that there are more solutes in the solution)

the opposite is true

Question 5

If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution…

Answer 5

fluid will enter the cell becuase the cell is considered “hypertonic” to the solution (meaning there are less solutes in the solution)

the opposite is true

Question 6

Metabolic Acidosis

Answer 6

PH; decreased
H+; increased
Primary Disturbance; decreased HCO3-
Secondary Response; Decreased CO2 (exhale CO2)

Question 7

Metabolic Alkalosis

Answer 7

PH; increased
H+; decreased
Primary Disturbance; increased HCO3-
Secondary Response; increased CO2 (exhale less CO2)

Question 8

Respiratory Acidosis

Answer 8

PH; Decreased
H+; increased
Primary Disturbance; increased CO2
Secondary Response; increased HCO3- (reabsorb more HCO3-)

Question 9

Respiratory Alkalosis

Answer 9

PH; increased
H+; decreased
Primary Disturbance; Decreased CO2
Secondary Response; Decreased HCO3- (reabsorb less HCO3-)
