Question 10

If there is an excess amount of water in the human body and extra cellular becomes less concentrated:

Answer 10

Question 11

When blood volume and /or extracellular fluid levels drop, which of the following does not occur?

Answer 11

There is an increase in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

Question 12

A decrease in glomerular hydrostatic pressure will result in:

Answer 12

a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

Question 13

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:

Answer 13

The individual has metabolic acidosis with compensatory respiratory alkalosis

There will be an increase in osmotic pressure in the extracellular fluid.

Question 15

What triggers the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system to stop its actions?

Answer 15

AN increase in the GFR back to normal levels.

Question 16

Angiotensin II will cause:

Answer 16

an increase in the secretion of ADH.

Question 17

When dehydration occurs, which of the following will also occur?

Answer 17

The extracellular fluid becomes more concentrated.
