Answers with Complete Solutions UPDATED!!!
-NH3+ or -COOH - ANSWER if free OH- is released into the
intracellular compartment, the ____________ groups react
with it to bind it by the following reactions
"water follows salt" - ANSWER when salt is absorbed, water
must also be absorbed to maintain osmotic pressure
2 sections of EFC - ANSWER plasma and interstitial fluid
2 ways to maintain K+ balance - ANSWER (1) the role of the

of the hormone aldosterone
3 major chemical buffer systems - ANSWER bicarbonate system,
the phosphate system, and the protein system
3 ways to maintain Na+ balance - ANSWER (1) the effect of the
hormone aldosterone, (2) the cardiovascular baroceptors (3)

1500 ml - ANSWER humans lose about 2500 ml of water each
day with the majority, _________, being lost by urine excretion
2500 ml - ANSWER humans ingest or produce about _________
of water each day, the majority ingested in fluid form
acidosis - ANSWER pH of arterial blood<7.35
ADH - ANSWER binds to receptors cells of the collecting ducts of
