of concentrated supplements, and: Answer: Diabetic ketoacidosis
14. Two thirds of the water in humans is contained in this fluid compartment:-
Answer: Intracellular

Threshold
26. A type of general anesthesia where the patient can respond to commands
but is unaware of the procedure and does not experience any discomfort is
called:: neuroleptanesia
27. Myelinated nerve fibers that rapidly transmit acute pain information from
the sensory fibers to the central nervous system are:: A Delta fibers

chronic or dull pain is the:: Paleospinothalamic tract
29. The system that informs the brain of incoming pain stimuli is the:: Reticular
activating system
30. Pain that originates in the organs and is conducted by sympathetic fibers
is called:: Visceral pain
31. First-aid directives for injury-related inflammation often recommends this
four-step approach:: Rest, ice, compression, elevation
32. When scar tissue restricts the range of movement in a joint, which may
eventually result in fixation or a deformity of the joint, this is referred to as:: A
