Question

Chapter 24-Fluid Homeostasis 1. Identify the ways water is lost from the body. How much urine is normally made by kidneys? a. Identify the organs and hormones that regulate water loss/homeostasis. b. How is abnormal water volume in the body typically detected? 2. Describe the normal percentages, and distribution, of water in the body. a. Are all people created equal in terms of water percentage? Explain 2. What controls water movement (osmosis) across membranes (and between body areas)? 3. Identify the most common electrolytes in humans and in which fluid area each should be found. [Be sure to know the most common signs/symptoms of imbalances of those ions.] 5. Define "acidosis" and "alkalosis" and describe problems that can cause each of them. a. What compensation mechanisms does the body use to reverseacidosis or alkalosis? *Be careful not to confuse conditions that cause alkalosis or acidosis -- or clinical problems caused by it -- with homeostatic adjustments that are made to correct the problem. For example, if you aren't sure, you won't know the best way to treat an imbalance.
