space ( any vessel in our body ex: vein , artery)

- renal failure
4. heart failure ( HF) means what? - Correct answer - the heart is weak
- the cardiac output is DOWN
- kidney perfusion is DOWN
- urinary output is DOWN
- the volume stays in the vascular space

6. what are three things that contain A LOT of sodium? - Correct answer - canned
process foods
- IVF with sodium
- fleet enemas
7. Aldosterone ( steroid, mineralocorticoid) is found where? - Correct answer - adrenal
glands ( on top of the kidneys)
8. what is the normal action of aldosterone ? - Correct answer When your blood volume
gets low through for example vomiting or hemorrhage, the aldosterone secretion
increases and makes your body retain sodium and water and therefore increases the
blood volume
