extracellular

All of the homeostatic mechanisms that monitor and adjust the composition of body fluids respond to changes in the:

extracellular fluid

When the amount of water you gain each day is equal to the amount you lose to the environment you are in:

fluid balance

net hydrostatic and net colloid osmotic pressures

When large amounts of pure water are consumed,

osmolarities of the two compartments are slightly lower.

Blood pH is normally measured at:

pH 7.35-7.45

Acidosis can cause all of the following except

peripheral vasoconstriction.

The most frequent cause of metabolic alkalosis is
