Which statement describes the intracellular fluid (CF) AIt is the one for which capillary membranes become extra permeable during
compartment? inflammation allowing certain proteins to move to tissues.
B It is located within the bloodstream.
C It is located inside the cells.
D It is the one containing hormones intended to balance red blood cell count.
Answer
C It is located inside the cells.
How does the respiratory system compensate for acid- Increasing ventilation to drop the H+ ion level
base disturbances?
Increasing ventilation to drop the H+ ion level: The respiratory system
compensates for acidosis by increasing ventilation, which helps to expel more
CO2 from the lungs, reducing the concentration of H+ ions and thus
decreasing acidity.
Which two conditions will cause dehydration and Gastrointestinal (GI) fluid loss
increase water requirements? Hypotension

What is one sign of fluid volume excess? Ascites
Ascites is the accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, which is a sign of
fluid volume excess, often seen in conditions like liver cirrhosis.
What is one cause of hypomagnesemia? Starvation
Starvation: Starvation can lead to hypomagnesemia due to inadequate intake
of magnesium.
A patient presents with a blood pH of 7.29, bicarbonate Shallow and decreased breathing secondary to COPD
(HCC) level of 25 mmol, and partial pressure of carbon
dioxide (PaCO2) of 55 mmHg Which cause is Shallow and decreased breathing secondary to COPD: The lab values indicate
consistent with these lab values? respiratory acidosis, which is characterized by a low pH (acidic), normal
bicarbonate levels, and elevated PaCO2. This is consistent with
hypoventilation, often seen in conditions like COPD, where shallow breathing
leads to CO2 retention.

What are clinical manifestations of hyponatremia? Neurological symptoms such as confusion, imitability, or lethargy
Neurological symptoms such as confusion, irritability, or lethargy:
Hyponatremia, which is low sodium levels in the blood, often leads to
neurological symptoms like confusion, irritability, lethargy, seizures, and in
severe cases, coma, due to the effect of low sodium on brain cells.
What are phagocytic calls? Cells that eat pathogens and destroy them
What is the term for the process by which the body Inflammatory response
automatically reacts to tissue injured by trauma or
bacteria? Inflammatory response is the body's automatic reaction to tissue injury,
involving a series of events such as vasodilation, increased permeability, and
the recruitment of immune cells to the site of injury.
What describes a gene when the same allele is Monozygous/ Homozygous
inherited from both parents?
Homozygous describes a gene when the same allele is inherited from both
parents (e.g., AA or aa).
