16
Q

what is needed to maintain tonicity

A

intact thirst
maintained GFR
function LOH and distal nephron
appropriate functional ADH
ADH response from kidney

17
Q

What determines tonicity

A

extracellular Na+

18
Q

what does tonicity determine

A

cellular size

19
Q

when osmolarity is elevated, what will be released

A

ADH
increased Na + H20 retention
increased thirst

20

A

swollen (turgid)

21
Q

what occurs to RBC in a hypertonic solution

A

shrunken RBC (Flaccid)

22
Q

what is used for energy with skeletal muscle contraction

A

creatine phosphate

Q

how is water regulated

A

RAAS
ADH
