What effect does prolonged sweating have on sodium ion levels?

A loss of sodium ions from the ECF

An abnormally high level of which electrolyte could be caused by hyperparathyroidism and would result in kidney stones, confusion, muscle pain, and cardiac arrhythmias?

Calcium

What would be the response of the body to an increase in ECF volume if you were to drink a large quantity of a sports drink?

All of the listed choices are correct. [-Decreased thirst -Increased water and sodium loss in the urine -Natriuretic peptides would be released by cardiac muscle cells.

Which of the following would not be associated with a sensation of increased thirst?

Decrease in the production of ADH

What would happen if you ate a large quantity of salty potato chips without drinking anything?

Secretion of ADH would increase.

Which of the following is NOT a source of water gains?

Sensible perspiration

What would be the effect on the osmotic concentration of blood plasma if you were in the desert without water for a day?
