volume depletion - Answer -Which of the following conditions may result from loss of
proportional amounts of water and sodium?
ADH - Answer -Which of the following can control water output independent of sodium?
ADH - Answer -This hormone, produced by the hypothalamus, will stimulate the
collecting ducts and the distal convoluted tubules to retain more water.
hypertonic - Answer -Dehydration will most likely cause plasma to become
________________.
protein - Answer -Which buffer system accounts for three-quarters of all the chemical
buffering of the body fluids?
, loops of juxtamedullary nephrons - Answer -The concentration gradient that exists from
the cortex to the medulla of the kidney is produced by the
a stimulation of the sense of thirst - Answer -When blood pressure drops, the
juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney secrete the enzyme renin, which indirectly results in
urea - Answer -The major nitrogenous waste product in humans is ________________.
proximal convoluted tubule - Answer -In a normal person, almost all of the glucose in
the filtrate is transported back into the body's cells in this area.
the osmolarity of the extracellular fluid in the medulla is higher than that in the cortex -
Answer -The collecting duct is able to concentrate urine mainly because
collecting duct - Answer -Antidiuretic hormone acts on the _____ to promote water
retention.
glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves - Answer -Peripheral chemoreceptors
communicate with the brainstem via the
pH - Answer -The primary factor affecting chemoreceptors of blood gases is _____.
opsonization - Answer -Which of the following terms means to coat bacteria, making
them easier to phagocytize by macrophages and neutrophils?
helper T - Answer -These cells recognize non-self antigens and produce interleukins to
stimulate the cells that actually make the antibodies.
autoimmune disease - Answer -When antibodies produced to react against bacteria
also react against self-antigens, the resulting condition is an example of a(n):
