2000

Increased water reabsorption and decreased blood osmolality occurs in response to the release of the hormone _______.

ADH

Identify how the body will respond to an increase in osmolarity of the extracellular fluid. Select all that apply.

ADH secretion increases. Thirst increases.

Which is referred to as the "salt-retaining hormone" because it plays the primary role in adjusting sodium excretion?

Aldosterone

Blood osmolality Interstitial fluid pressure Blood pressure

Identify the location of baroreceptors that play an important role in regulating blood volume.

Carotid sinus and aortic arch

What structures detect changes in blood pressure and activate mechanisms for regulating extracellular blood volume? Select all that apply.

Cells of juxtaglomerular apparatus Baroreceptors in carotid sinus and aortic arch

Which of the following structures are involved in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism? Select all that apply.

Cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus Adrenal cortex Distal convoluted tubules

Which of the following are sources of water intake? Select all that apply.

Cellular metabolism Ingestion

Which of the following is correct?

Chloride is the most abundant anion in extracellular fluid, and proteins are the major anions in intracellular fluid.

What causes osmotic pressure and movement of water between the fluid compartments?

Electrolytes

What structures serve as the main sensors for the thirst mechanism? Select all that apply.

Hypothalamic osmoreceptors Arterial baroreceptors Specialized cells in the kidney

What is/are the primary organ(s) responsible for regulating blood pressure and osmolality by controlling water loss?

Kidneys

Which of the the following are subdivisions of the extracellular fluid compartment? Select all that apply.

Plasma Interstitial fluid Cerebrospinal fluid

Which statements describe the atrial natriuretic hormone mechanism? Select all that apply.

Receptors are located in the heart walls. ANH is released with rising blood pressure. ANH results in increased urine production.

Respiration Urination Defecation Perspiration

Which statement is correct?

Sodium is more abundant in the extracellular fluid, and potassium is more abundant in the intracellular fluid.

What affects the composition of intracellular fluid? Select all that apply.

Trapped organic molecules Electrical charge differences across plasma membranes Active ion transport Osmotic movements of water

a temporary interruption

Routes of water loss occur through ______. Select all that apply.

defecation evaporation urination

When venous and arterial pressure increases, sympathetic neurons to the afferent arterioles of the kidney cause the arterioles to ______ which leads to increase in filtrate formation.

extracellular

Name the fluid compartment that includes all of the fluid found outside of the body's cells.

extracellular

Interstitial fluid and plasma are examples of _____.

extracellular fluids
