c. they secrete hormones directly into the circulatory system.
d. all of the above

A

D. all of the above. endocrine glads are ductless, may include the pituitary, thyroid, adrenals and pancreas islets and they secrete hormones directly into the circulatory system.

28

the following are true about exocrine glands.

a. secrete substances onto epithelial surfaces.
b. products secreted may be sweat saliva mucus and digestive enzymes.
c. use ducts to secrete substances
d. all of the above

A

D. all of the above. exocrine glads secrete substances onto epithelial surfaces, products secreted may be sweat saliva mucus and digestive enzymes and they use ducts to secrete substances.

an infants TBW is about what percentage of its body weight?

A

75-80%

34
Q

an adults TBW is about what percentage of its body weight?

A

65%

35
Q

name 7 causes of dehydration.

A

diarrhea, vomiting, gastric drainage, infections, metabolic disorders like DKA, hemorrhage, environmental emergencies, high caffeine intake and insufficient fluid intake.

36
Q

co2

A

carbon dioxide

37
Q

h2o

A

water

38
Q

H2CO3

A

carbonic acid

39
Q

H+

A

hydrogen

40
Q

HC03-

A

bicarbonate

41
Q

what type of signalling do cells secrete neurotransmitters such as dopamine?

A

synaptic signalling

42
Q

what type of signalling do cells secrete substances that act upon themselves?

A

autocrine signalling

43
Q

what type of signalling do cells secrete substances that act on nearby cells?

A

paracrine signalling

44
Q

what type of signalling is considered “signalling by hormones”?

A

endocrine signalling

45
Q

name the most prevalent cation(+) in the extracellular fluid?

A

sodium

46
Q

name the most prevalent cation in the intracellular fluid?

A

potassium

47
Q

name the cation which plays the most important roll in contraction of muscles?

A

calcium

48
Q

name the most important buffer system of the body?

A

circulating bicarbonate buffer system or “blood buffer”

49
Q

what happens when a person becomes acidotic?

A

acidosis occurs when the blood ph falls below 7.35. during resp acidosis co2 cannot be released from the body and mixes with h2o creating in increase in carbonic acid creating an acidotic environment. this process can effect the body within minutes. during metabolic acidosis the kidneys regulate the HC03- or bicarbonate which is a base and is used to neutralize the acids base combination. the kidneys also excrete acid through urination. Metabolic acid-base disorders may be due to kidney disease, electrolyte disturbances, severe vomiting or diarrhea, ingestion of certain drugs and toxins, and diseases that affect normal metabolism (e.g., diabetes).
this process takes hours to days. http://labtestsonline.org/understanding/conditions/acidosis/

50
Q

describe what happens when one gives sodium bicarbonate to a patient who is acidotic?

A

sodium bicarbonate dissociates to provide sodium (Na+) and bicarbonate (HCO3-) anions. Bicarbonate anions can consume hydrogen ions (H+) and thereby be converted to carbonic acid (H2CO3), which can subsequently be converted to water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) which can be excreted by the lungs. this is to be used during metabolic acidosis.

51
Q

what describes the movement of h2o by hydrostatic pressure across the capillary wall?

A

filtration

52
Q

Blood pressure within the capillaries describes?

A

hydrostatic pressure

53
Q

blood plasma force is called?

A

osmotic force

54
Q

the pressure exerted by solutes on 1 side of a semipermeable membrane describes?

A

osmotic pressure

55
Q

the concentration of solute per liter of water is called?

A

osmolarity

56
Q

when a helper protein binds to a molecule and assists in transport, it is called?

A

facilitated diffusion

57
Q

movement of a substance across the cell membrane against the osmostic gradient, opposite the normal direction of diffusion describes?

A

active transport

58
Q

diffusion of any solvent through a membrane, opposite the direction of solute movement is called?

A

osmosis
Ex. H2O follows Na+. A solvent travels from low solute concentration to high solute concentration to attempt to achieve a balance.

59
Q

the tendency of solutes to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration to produce an even distribution of particles is called?

A

diffusion

60
Q

the difference in concentration of a solute on different sides of a membrane creating a gradient is called?

A

the osmotic gradient

61
Q

when the concentration of a solute is less than normal its called?

A

hypotonic

62
Q

when the concentration of a solute is more than normal its called?

A

hypertonic

63

which of the following can result in edema?

a. decrease in plasma oncotic pressure? (also called colloidal osmotic pressure)
b. increase in hydrostatic pressure
c. increased capillary permeability
d. lymphatic channel obstructions.
e. all of the above.

A

e. all of the above.

64

c. all of the above

A

c. all of the above.
