Lab #10 Information Quiz (Fluid & Electrolyte Balance) Flashcards
An individual’s blood pH is alkalotic. It is noted that they have an increased level of bicarbonate and increased pCO2 level. One analysis of this would be:
individual has metabolic alkalosis with compensatory respiratory acidosis
Aldosterone causes:
an excretion of excess potassium in the urine.
In water, salts ionize to produce:
electrolytes
An individuas blood pH is acidotic. It is is noted that they have an increased level of bicarbonate and increased pCO2 level. One analysis of this would be:
The individual has respiratory acidosis with compensatory metabolic alkalosis
Which is true?
Aldosterone causes an increase in the reabsorption of sodium
Renin:
converts angiotensinogen in blood to angiotensinogen I
buffering system:
used to prevent abrupt pH changes.
carbon dioxide (Co2) reacts with water to form:
carbonic acid
In water, an acid will ionize to form:
a hydrogen ion and an anion
If there is an excess amount of water in the human body and extra cellular becomes less concentrated:
The posterior pituitary gland will decrease the amount of ADH released.
When blood volume and /or extracellular fluid levels drop, which of the following does not occur?
There is an increase in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
A decrease in glomerular hydrostatic pressure will result in:
a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
AN individual’s blood pH is acidotic. it is noted that they have a decreased level of bicarbonate and a decreased pCO2 level. One analysis would be:
The individual has metabolic acidosis with compensatory respiratory alkalosis
If the body loses more than 1% of its water.
There will be an increase in osmotic pressure in the extracellular fluid.
What triggers the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system to stop its actions?
AN increase in the GFR back to normal levels.
