ABG: what determines metabolic status vs what determines respiratory status -
answerHCO3 determines metabolic status and CO2 determines respiratory status

2/3 of the body's fluid resides in _____ while 1/3 of body's fluid resides in _____ -
answer2/3: intra-cellular compartment
1/3: extra-cellular compartment either interstitial or intravascular

when blood tonicity rises it triggers ____ which allows the ____ to absorb more water -
