Quiz: Intracellular fluid makes up how much of the body's total water?
Ans: 2/3
Quiz: Which electrolytes are high in the intracellular fluid (ICF)?
Ans: potassium, magnesium, and phosphorous
Quiz: Which fluid (ICF or ECF) contains proteins that help maintain cell
structure and function?
Ans: ICF
Quiz: Extracellular fluids contains how much of the body's total?
Ans: 1/3
Quiz: Extracellular fluid is high in which substances?
Ans: Sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate
Quiz: What fluid (ECF or ICF) contains interstitial fluid, plasma, and
transcellular fluid?
Ans: ECF
,Quiz: What is the function of ECF?
Ans: provides a medium for the exchange of nutrients and waste between
cells and blood
Quiz: Concentration gradient
Ans: the differrence in the concentration of solutes between two areas
Quiz: Diffusion
Ans: movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low
concentration
Quiz: What drives diffusion?
Ans: the concentration gradient
Quiz: Osmosis
Ans: The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an
area with low solute concentration to one with high solute
concentration
Quiz: isotonic solution
Ans: No change in cell size; water movement is balanced inside and
outside the cell
Quiz: hypotonic solution

,Ans: cells swell as water enters the cell due to a higher concentration of
solutes inside the cell
Quiz: hypertonic solutions
Ans: cells shrink as water exits the cell because the extracellular
environment has a higher solute concentration
Quiz: Sympathetic nervous system control of body water and sodium
levels
Ans: constricts blood vessels, increasing blood pressure and promoting
sodium retention
Quiz: RAAS control of body water and sodium levels
Ans: RAAS releases renin to convert angiotensinogen to angiotensin I and
II, causing vasoconstriction and stimulating aldosterone release, which
increases sodium and water reabsorption
Quiz: ADH control of body water and sodium levels
Ans: ADH promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys to maintain body
fluid balance during dehydration
Quiz: Relationship between ADH and Aquaporin-2 Channels
Ans: ADH binds to receptors in the kidney's collecting ducts, triggering the
insertion of aquaporin-2 channels into the membrane.

, Quiz: Aquaporin-2 channels
Ans: allow water to be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream,
concentrating the urine and maintaining hydration
Quiz: Diabetes Insipidus (DI) pathology
Ans: Insufficient ADH production or kidney response, leading to excessive
water loss
Quiz: Manifestations of DI
Ans: Polyuria, polydipsia, dilute urine, dehydration
Quiz: Treatment of DI
Ans: ADH replacement (desmopressin) or managing fluid intake
Quiz: SIADH pathology
Ans: excessive release of ADH, causing water retention and dilutional
hyponatremia
Quiz: SIADH manifestations
Ans: low urine output, concentrated urine, hyponatremia, symptoms like
headache and confusion
Quiz: SIADH treatment
Ans: fluid restriction, salt tablets, or medications like demeclocycline to
reduce kidney response to ADH
