Increases irritability of nerves causing: restlessness, muscle twitching, tingling, finger
numbness, eventually tetany, seizures, and coma - CORRECT ANSWER -How does
alkalosis impact nerves?
Respiratory alkalosis. Exhaling more CO2 than they are bringing in - CORRECT ANSWER
-What type of imbalance can hyperventilation lead to and how?
Regulates calcium and phosphorous concentration in the extracellular fluid; if calcium
concentrations in EC fluid fall below normal, brings it back WNL. Calcium increases,
phosphate in blood is reduced - CORRECT ANSWER -What is parathyroid hormone?

prolonged diarrhea?
1. renal failure
2. deficit of aldosterone
3. K+ sparing diuretics
4. leakage of intracellular K+ into the ECF (w/ extensive tissue damage)

Diarrhea, diuresis, treatment of DKA without insulin - CORRECT ANSWER -What can
cause hypokalemia?
inner cells frequently deprived of blood and nutrients causing cell death. Necrosis can
lead to more inflammation and infection at the site - CORRECT ANSWER -what are local
effects of an expanding tumor mass?
