Solutions
A patient that has overdosed or received too much anesthesia
can hypoventilate and cause Correct Answers Respiratory
acidosis
A patient that is hyperventilating and giving out too much Co2
( too much acid Correct Answers Respiratory alkalosis
Acidosis Correct Answers excessive acidity of body fluids, pH
below 7.35
Acidosis Correct Answers pH below 7.35 more acidic
active transport Correct Answers Energy-requiring process that
moves material across a cell membrane against a concentration
difference (atp)
albumin (alb), protein drops very fast in Correct Answers Burn
patients
Alkalosis Correct Answers The buildup of excess base (lack of
acids) in the body fluids. pH above 7.45
alkelosis Correct Answers pH above 7.45
anaphylactic reaction Correct Answers A serious allergic
reaction that requires immediate treatment ( lungs closing
, Anti-inflammatory drugs/ aspirin dangerous to Correct Answers
Children
Antibiotics will not kill a Correct Answers Virus
antidiuretic hormone (ADH) Correct Answers Hormone
produced by the neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamus that
stimulates water reabsorption from kidney tubule cells into the
blood and vasoconstriction of arterioles.

by converting strong acids and bases into weak acids and weak
bases within fractions of a second.
capillary permeability Correct Answers Ability of substances
to diffuse through capillary walls into the tissue spaces.
carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system Correct Answers
chemical system that helps maintain pH homeostasis of the
blood
