PATHOPHYSIOLOGY | QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
100% CORRECT | GRADE A - RASMUSSEN
Homeostasis .....ANSWER.....•state of equilibrium or balance
within and organism
•Fluids and electrolytes exist within the body, are dynamic in
nature, and are maintained in constant balance, or homeostasis,
within the body
fluid volume deficit .....ANSWER.....•Fluid deficit occurs when total
body fluid levels (mostly water) are insufficient to meet the
body's needs may also be referred to as dehydration
•Fluid volume deficits may result from vomiting and diarrhea
,Page 2 of 87
Fluid Volume Excess .....ANSWER.....•Daily fluid intake should
equal the amount of fluid lost
•Third spacing: significant fluid increases in the transcellular
compartment, which does not exchange easily among other ECFs
Types: Edema, Water intoxication
Eukaryote .....ANSWER.....•is any cell or organism that possesses
a defined nucleus
Mitochondria .....ANSWER.....•Have own DNA and ribosomes
•Produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for energy
what happens When arterial blood pressure decreases
.....ANSWER.....•renin is released from the kidneys and works on
angiotensinogen (from the liver), converting it to angiotensin I.
What is the role of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system,
antidiuretic hormone (ADH), and natriuretic peptides
,Page 3 of 87
.....ANSWER.....Control of fluid and electrolyte balances is
maintained
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) also assist in
.....ANSWER.....•maintaining blood pressure and intravascular
fluid status
What happens when renin converts angiotensinogen (from the
liver), converting into angiotensin I .....ANSWER.....•Angiotensin I is
then converted to angiotensin II in the lungs by angiotensin-
converting enzymes
what is the role of Angiotensin II .....ANSWER.....•is a potent
vasoconstrictor that also stimulates the release of aldosterone
What produces Aldosterone .....ANSWER.....Hyopthalamus
What releases Aldosterone and why .....ANSWER.....The adrenal
cortex releases and releases in response to changes in blood
osmolality
, Page 4 of 87
What is the role of Aldosterone .....ANSWER.....promotes the
retention of the sodium and water in the kidneys, restoring blood
volume
directly influences water reabsorption in the distal tubules and
collecting ducts in the kidneys
What may cause Fluid volume deficient
.....ANSWER.....•hemorrhage, excessive loss of GI fluids (e.g.,
vomiting, diarrhea).
What are the symptoms of Fluid volume deficient
.....ANSWER.....thirst, weight loss, lungs clear to auscultation,
tachycardic.
What may cause fluid volume excess .....ANSWER.....•heart
failure, end-stage kidney failure, etc.
