Which then causes a(n) __________ (decrease or increase) in the concentration of the plasma (blood) space. 3. A __________ osmolar or __________ tonic state will occur because of changes to the blood concentration. (hyper vs hypo) 4. Osmolality will likely be (provide value) __________ (Normal osmolality: 280-295)

Certain situations and health conditions can impact the concentration of sodium in the body, sometimes causing it to be dangerously high or dangerously low. Choose the statement below that correctly describes hypernatremia or hyponatremia. Hypernatremia can lead to edema and high blood pressure. Hyponatremia happens frequently among all athletes. Hyponatremia is not life-threatening. A healthy college student who consumes an excessive amount of sodium at a buffet restaurant is likely to induce hypernatremia.

If the kidneys excrete more sodium ion, then blood may become: 1) hyperosmolar due to more sodium ions 2) hyperosmolar due to fewer sodium ions 3) hyposmolar due to fewer sodium ions 4) hyposmolar due to more sodium ions
