our roommate donates blood one day and leaves without sticking around to drink some water and eat some free cookies. A bit later, they suddenly feel extremely thirsty. Which mechanism of detection is probably driving their thirst? Osmometric Volumetric Glucose detection Stomach distension (expansion)

How is osmolality different from molarity and what will be the osmolality of the body fluids.? How fluids may be shifted from the extracellular compartment into the intracellular compartment.
One of your patients is diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome in which too much protein is released in the urine. From a urine sample you can see high level albumin in the urine. Explain why this is problematic for bulk fluid flow in the body and why it is causing edema.

Blood volume must be restored in a person who has lost large amounts of blood due to serious injury. This is often accomplished by infusing isotonic NaCl solution into the blood. Why is this more effective than infusing an isoosmotic solution of a penetrating solute, such as urea?
Two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane that is permeable only to water. The two solutions are: Solution A = 150 mM KCl Solution B = 150 mM Angiotensin (a 7 amino acid polypeptide) Which of the following would best explain the net movement in this situation? - water will move from the KCl side to Angiotensin side - water will move from Angiotensin side to KCl side - The Cl- ion will move to the angiotensin side until there is 75 mM Cl- on each side - Since Angiotensin is not an ion, it can move through the membrane - There is no net water movement as the concentrations are the same on both sides
Hyperkalemia is associated with the inability of the kidneys to properly filter potassium out of the blood. Which type of membrane transport do the kidneys use to filter the blood? A. Hydrostatic pressure B. Osmotic pressure C. Filtration D. Active diffusion
