GRADED BY EXPERTS
inorganic - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>water and minerals are all ______
water - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>does not need to be digested, easily absorbed, byproduct of
metabolism, obtained from beverages and food
50-75% - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>this percentage range of the body is water
lean muscle - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>this muscle is 75% water
fat tissue - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>this tissue is 25% water
intracellular water - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>the fluid compartment inside cells (2/3 body
water)
extracellular water - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>the fluid compartment that surrounds cells/is in
the blood (1/3 body water)
intravascular fluid - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>fluid in the blood and lymph
interstitial fluid - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>fluid between cells, gastrointestinal fluid, spinal
column fluid, fluid in eyes, tears, synovial (joint) fluid
electrolytes - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>ionic compounds that maintain fluid balance in the
body
water - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>follows concentration of electrolytes
potassium and magnesium - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>major cations in intracellular fluid
phosphate and sulfate - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>major anions in intracellular fluid
sodium and calcium - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>major cations in extracellular fluid
chloride and bicarbonate - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>major anions in extracellular fluid
water function - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>function: solvent, major component of bodily fluids,
removes waste, lubricates tissues, regulates body temp, helps digestion, involved in many
chemical reactions, helps maintain proper blood pH, helps transport substances
, antidiuretic hormone - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>hormone released by posterior pituitary gland
as a result of osmotic pressure (decreased extracellular pressure) or when blood pressure falls
antidiuretic hormone - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>action of hormone: kidneys retain water,
extracellular pressure decreases
renin - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>enzyme released by kidney when blood pressure is low
renin - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>action of enzyme: activates angiotensinogen by converting it
to angiotensin I (which eventually leads to increased water retention by kidney and increased
blood pressure)
aldosterone - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>hormone released from adrenal gland when blood
pressure falls
aldosterone - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>action of hormone: kidney retains sodium, chloride,
and therefore water, which increases blood pressure and lowers extracellular pressure
15 cups (3.7 L) - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>AI total water for men
11 cups (2.7 L) - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>AI total water for women
fruits and vegetables - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>water content is high in... (2 things)
dehydration - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>a serious reduction in the body's water content;
deficiency of water
10 - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>more than ____% of body weight lost of water increases risk of
death
color and volume - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>monitor the ___ and ___ of urine to check
hydration status
water intoxication - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>rare condition when too much water is
consumed in a short period of time or kidneys have difficulty filtering water from blood
water intoxication - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>what condition leads to excess water diluting the
sodium concentration of the blood (hyponatremia)
hyponatremia - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>low blood sodium
water intoxication - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>symptoms: headache, blurred vision, muscle
cramps, convulsions, (ultimate) death due to brain swelling
