It would increase the plasma oncotic pressure b. It would increase in tissue oncotic pressure c. It would increase the plasma hydrostatic pressure d. It would increase the tissue hydrostatic pressure - It would increase the plasma oncotic pr...

What is the primary determinant of oncotic pressure? - ANSWER-Albumin Form of osmotic pressure exerted by proteins - ANSWER-Oncotic Pressure What is the difference between adult and child immunity? - ANSWER-Naive T Cells Fluid and electrolyte levels are regulated by _________________, which regulates actions such as thirst, ADH, the kidneys, and RAAS. - ANSWER-Osmoreceptors What are the causes of dehydration? - ANSWER-#Excessive loss #Inadequate intake #Both What s/sx are associ...

Pressure that is due to albumin in the bloodstream? - Oncotic Oncotic - a form of osmotic pressure exerted by proteins In the blood, _____ is the most common plasma protein and is, therefore, a primary determinant of oncotic pressure - albumin _____ controls osmotic pressure in vascular system, builds volume - Albumin One question was about the difference in children and adult immunity - Possible answer: naive T cells Learning check question: Which differences in immunity make children an...

Examples of edema caused by decreased capillary oncotic pressure - ANS - -cirrhosis, malnutrition (decreased synthesis of plasma proteins) -nephrotic syndrome (increased loss of plasma proteins) -Increased plasma Na and H2O retention (dilution of plasma proteins) Examples of edema caused by increased capillary permeability - ANS - -burns -inflammation -neoplastic disease -allergic reactions -infection Loss of plasma proteins to interstitial space leading to increased tissue oncotic p...

A) lysosomes B) peroxisomes C) ribosomes D) oxyhydrosomes - Ans: B- peroxisomes What is a consequence of plasma membrane damage to the mitochondria? A) enzymatic digestion halts deo...

Water movement between ICF compartment and ECF compartment is primarily a function of what? Osmotic Forces In addition to osmosis, what force is involved in the movement of water between the plasma and interstitial fluid spaces? Hydrostatic pressure At the arterial end of capillaries, why does fluid move from the intravascular space into the interstitial space? Capillary hydrostatic pressure is higher than the capillary oncotic pressure Low plasma albumin causes edema as a result of a r...

Hydrostatic Pressure Correct Answer--Pushing pressure -Mechanical force of water pushing against cellular membranes Oncotic pressure / gradient Correct Answer-- Pulling effect on water, dependent on albumin(colloid) -Oncotic pressure exerted by proteins in the plasma pull water into the circulatory system Intracellular fluid (ICF) Correct Answer--Fluid within cells and comprises approx. 2/3 (40%) total body water Extracellular fluid (ECF) Correct Answer--Fluid outside the cells and co...
