combination
67
ECV deficit and excess are abnormal volumes of isotonic fluid, manifested as sudden changes in ____ and changes in markers of vascular and interstitial volume.
body weight
68
ECV deficit is present when isotonic fluid is insufficient in the ______ compartment. Remember that a lot of sodium is found in normal ECF. With ECV deficit, output of isotonic fluid exceeds intake of sodium-containing fluid. Because ECF is both vascular and interstitial, signs and symptoms arise from lack of volume in both of these compartments.
extracellular
69
ECV excess occurs when too much isotonic fluid is found in the extracellular compartment. Intake of sodium-containing isotonic fluid has _____ fluid output.

These are manifestations of mild ECV excess.
exceeded
70
______ is called water excess or water intoxication, is a hypotonic condition. It arises from gain of relatively more salt than water. The excessively dilute condition of interstitial fluid causes water to enter cells by osmosis, causing the cells to swell. Signs and symptoms of cerebral dysfunction occur when brain cells swell.
