is a cation

Perfectly

what is a characteristic of acidosis

pH less than 7.35

what is true of dehydration

is characterized by poor skin turgor and "tenting"

the zygote

is the fertilized ovum

excess diuresis is most likely to cause

blood volume depletion

plasma oncotic pressure

"pulls" water into the capillaries from the interstitium

the corpus luteum

secretes large amounts of progeesterone

more than 99% of what cation is stored in the bones and teeth

calcium

hyperkalemia refers to an increase in the blood levels of which. ion?

Potassium

kaliuresis refers to the urinary loss of

potassium

what condition stimulates kussmaul respirations

ketoacidosis

what is most likely to happen when fatty acids are broken down rapidly and incompletely

ketoacids are produced, causing metabolic acidosis

retention of which ion causes water retention and edema formation

sodium

what is most likely to develop in an anxious hyperventilating patient

alkalosis

what does urinary specific gravity measure

hydration status of the body

what indicates the role of albumin in water balance

maintains plasma oncotic pressure

what is most likely to occur when output exceeds intake

dehydration

what carries both urine and semen

urethra

under which condition will the renal reabsorption of bicarbonate increase

as a compensatory mechanism for respiratory acidosis

poor skin turgor is most indicative of

dehydration

a drug that blocks the renal reabsorption of sodium

increases the amount the urine

the myometrium

is responsive to oxytocin

most diuretics increase urine production by blocking the effects of what cation

sodium

the acrosome

contains enzymes that assist the sperm to fertilize an ovum

what hormone causes the kidneys to retain sodium and to excrete potassium

aldosterone

an example of metabolic acidosis with a respiratory compensation

ketoacidosis and kussmaul respiration

metabolic acidosis, such as diabetic ketoacidosis, is most likely to cause

kussmaul respirations

what term refers to the penis and scrotum

external genitals

what is least descriptive of dehydration

anasarca

what ion determines the resting membrane potential of nerve and muscle

potassium

hypoventilation is. most likely to cause

acidosis

aldosterone

is released in response to hypovolemia

semen

means seed

what condition is most apt to decrease glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

hypotension

what is most likely to cause acidosis

accumulation of plasma H+

what pH is descriptive of ketoacidosis

7.25

what. consists of a midpiece, head, and flagellum

sperm

the seminiferous tubules

are tightly coiled structures that produce sperm

what cells secrete testosterone

interstitial cells

third spacing

can result in an abnormal accumulation of large amounts of water

what is the chief extracellular cation

sodium

what is most likely to develop in a patient who hyperventilates because of a chronic respiratory disease, such as emphysema

acidosis

the movement of Na+ determines the

movement of water
