refers to an elevation in serum potassium
sixty percent of the volume of semen comes from these glands
seminal vesicles
a deficiency of ADH, called diabetes insipidus, is characterized by
polyuria and polydipsia
with carbon dioxide retention, CO2 + H2O produces more
H+ + HCO3-

cause tetany
what is most likely to occur when output is less than intake
edema
what hormone is characterized by androgen, steroid, and interstitial cells
testosterone
a change of pH from 7.40 to 7.25
reflects an increase in the amount of H+ in the blood
what of the following anions buffers H+

hyperkalemia
generally develops in response to declining renal function
which hormone is also called interstitial cells-stimulation hormone and stimulates the interstitial cells to secrete testosterone
luteinizing hormone

diuretic therapy
K+
is a cation
