decreases, the pH increases, leading to more alkalinity.
Alkalosis occurs when the pH rises above 7.45
base Correct Answer a substance that can accept hydrogen

into the blood vessels. Normally, this task is performed by the
three blood proteins: albumin, globulin, and fibrinogen.
Crystalloids Correct Answer substances in a solution that

Describe what happens when administering isotonic, hypotonic,
and hypertonic solutions. Correct Answer Isotonic solutions
cause no net fluid movement.
Hypotonic solutions cause fluid to move out of the vein and into
tissues and cells.
Hypertonic solutions cause fluid to move from the ISF into the
veins.
Extracellular Fluid (ECF) Correct Answer that portion of
body fluid comprising the interstitial fluid and intravascular
fluid. it transports nutrients to cells as well as waste products
