Concept explainers
To discuss:
Gain and loss of water, sources of water gain, avenues of water loss, and amount of water gain and water loss.
Introduction:
The proper composition and balance of fluid, electrolyte, and acid–base are required to regulate the cellular functions of the body. The urinary, digestive, endocrine, lymphatic, nervous, cardiovascular systems etc. maintain these balances.
Fluid balance: Equal maintenance of fluid gain and loss; and proper distribution of fluid in the body.
Electrolyte balance: Equal maintenance of absorbed electrolytes by the small intestine and loss of electrolytes through urine in the body.
Acid–base balance: Maintenance of the stable body pH.

- Atrial natriuretic peptide lowers blood pressure by increasing sodium reabsorption decreasing sodium reabsorption increasing sodium secretionarrow_forwardAntidiuretic hormone promotes the retention of water by stimulatingA. The active transport of waterB. The active transport of chlorideC. The active transport of sodiumD. The permeability of the collecting duct to waterarrow_forwardReabsorption of this substance involves carbonic anhydrase - inulin - bicarbonate - glucose - creatinine - calcium - adenosine - chloride - renin - aldosteronearrow_forward
- Over 24 hrs, water loss in the feces and urine is 1000 each. Sweating and exhalation involve 300 ml total. The total injested liquid is 2000 ml. The contibution of metabolism for water balance in ml will be?arrow_forwardYou suspect a person is suffering from a central diabetes insipidus. When untreated and reasonably hydrated, their urine concentration should be . After injection of a synthetic ADH/vasopressin urine concentration should dilute; become concentrated concentrated; remain unchanged concentrated; become dilute dilute; remain unchangedarrow_forwardMetabolic acidosis results is low blood pH levels and high bicarbonate ion concentration.
