a. What is the major site of absorption of waterand electrolytes?b. Which substances are absorbed primarily byactive transport and which are absorbed byosmosis?c. Explain why tissue damage hinders activetransport.

Sensory information about pH is taken to the medulla for integration. What is the medullas solution to bring pH back to normal? hyperventilation, vasoconstriction, or hypoventilation.

Which of the following determines plasma ADH concentration? a. Plasma volume b. All of these c. Plasma pH d. Plasma osmolarity

B. Ascending loops of Henle facilitate sodium transport through the sodium-potassium ATPase channels. The osmolarity of the interstitial fluid in the medulla region of the kidney is affected by sodium-potassium ATPase activity in the loop of Henle. How will this affect urine production? Describe how a decrease in sodium-potassium ATPase activity would affect sodium transport in the ascending loop of Henle, resulting in changes in sodium concentration in the interstitial fluid, water reabsorption, and urine synthesis in nephrons.

Differentiate between Afferent and Efferent arterioles.

Which statement is correct about the body's compensation mechanism for metabolic acidosis? A The client will breathe faster to reduce pH. B The client will breathe slower to reduce pH. C The client will breathe faster to increase pH. D The client will breathe slower to increase pH.

Explain what MIC is.

with an elevated HCO3- concentration, an elevated PCO2 and an elevated pH, what would your predicted response be to compensate? A. increase respiration b. decrease respiration c. increase HCO3- excretion d. decrease H+ buffer excretion
