42. Draw the relationship between salinity in the environment and the blood for a perfect osmoregulator and perfect osmoconformer. Your graph should have percent salinity of the water on the x axis and percent salinity of the blood on the y axis. Be sure to label which line represents which type of organism.

The osmolarity of body fluids is maintained at ___________ . 100 mOsm 300 mOsm 1000 mOsm it is not constantly maintained
1. There is a medical condition called Syndrome of Inappropriate Anti-Diuretic Hormone (SIADH) secretion, which can occur as a result of head trauma. Patients with this condition retain water and present with a volume imbalance. A) Name the type of volume imbalance and accompanying direction of changes in ICF and ECF volumes and osmolality. B) Calculate the changes in osmolality and volumes of extracellular and intracellular fluid compartments if 3 liters of water are retained by a patient with SIADH. You can assume that the patient’s initial volumes were ECF=14 L, ICF=28 L. And his initial body osmolality = 290 mOsM. Remember that the total solute in the ICF compartment is kept in place by the cell membrane barrier.
