Which process occurs as an individual decreases fluid intake?Edema occurs most commonly in soft tissues of the extremities; however, it is possible to occur in any tissue. Decreases in fluid load are commonly referred to as dehydration.
What condition is an example of fluid sequestration in which fluid accumulates in the interstitial space around the cells?Edema is an example of fluid sequestration in which fluid accumulates in the interstitial space around cells, and is characterized by puffiness or swelling.
What happens to blood pH levels during rebreathing Why?What happens to blood pH levels during rebreathing? Why? They fall because more CO2 is being retained in the blood, resulting in more H+ generation and thus lower pH levels. How does the renal system compensate for conditions of respiratory acidosis?
Which stimulus for increasing thirst and water intake is monitored by the thirst center directly?Osmoreceptors are sensory receptors in the thirst center in the hypothalamus that monitor the concentration of solutes (osmolality) of the blood. If blood osmolality increases above its ideal value, the hypothalamus transmits signals that result in a conscious awareness of thirst.
