base balance Northern Kentucky University
UPDATED ACTUAL Exam Questions and
CORRECT Answers
aldosterone is influenced by what? - CORRECT ANSWER - circulating blood volume,
blood pressure, plasma concentrations of sodium and potassium
what is released when circulating blood volume of BP is decreased or sodium is decreased or
potassium is increased? - CORRECT ANSWER - renin is secreted and released by the
kidneys
renin stimulates the release of what? - CORRECT ANSWER - angiotensin
water balance is primarily regulated by what? - CORRECT ANSWER - antidiuretic
hormone (ADH, vasopressin)
ADH secretion increases what? - CORRECT ANSWER - water reabsorption into the
plasma
what are thirst receptors called? - CORRECT ANSWER - osmolality receptors
what are osmolality receptors stimulated by? - CORRECT ANSWER - hyperosmolality
and plasma volume depletion
volume receptors and baroreceptors stimulate the release of _______ from the ______ and
stimulate thirst due to fluid loss - CORRECT ANSWER - ADH; pituitary gland
if sodium levels rise too much, _____________ will be stimulated to be released to aid in the
retention of water - CORRECT ANSWER - ADH
, an isotonic fluid excess is called? - CORRECT ANSWER - hypervolemia
Excessive administration of IV fluids can lead to? - CORRECT ANSWER - Hypervolemia
Hypersecretion of aldosterone can lead to? - CORRECT ANSWER - hypervolemia
what are the symptoms of hypervolemia? - CORRECT ANSWER - distended neck veins,
increased BP, increased hydrostatic pressure leading to edema formation
hypervolemia is treated with? - CORRECT ANSWER - diuretics
aldosterone enhances the loss of____________ - CORRECT ANSWER - potassium
sodium and chloride balance is maintained by______________________ - CORRECT
ANSWER - renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system controls ______________ retention and thus
volume/pressure in the vascular system - CORRECT ANSWER - sodium
the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system affects __________________ and ___________
release - CORRECT ANSWER - vasomotor tone; ADH
