Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Edema is the condition caused by an abnormal increase in interstitial fluid causing swelling in parts of the body, frequently the lower limbs.

Answer: J 
 Electrolyte is a term used to describe any substance that dissolves in water and releases ions capable of conducting an electrical current.

Answer: N 
 Interstitial fluid is the fluid that surrounds and bathes the cells of the body in the spaces between tissues.

Answer: K 
 Hyponatremia is a condition in which the concentration of sodium ions in the blood is abnormally low.

Answer: M 
 Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal gland that helps regulate sodium and potassium balance in the body.

Answer: F 
 A decrease in capillary blood pressure can lead to reduced fluid movement from the blood into the interstitial spaces, potentially contributing to edema.

Answer: G 
 ANH (atrial natriuretic hormone) is a hormone produced by the heart that promotes sodium and water excretion by the kidneys, helping to regulate fluid balance in the body.

Answer: D 
 Hypokalemia is a condition in which the concentration of potassium ions in the blood is abnormally low.

Answer: H 
 Hypocalcemia is a condition in which the concentration of calcium ions in the blood is abnormally low.

Answer: E 
 ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that regulates water balance in the body by controlling the amount of water that is excreted by the kidneys.

Answer: B 
 Dehydration is a condition in which there is an inadequate amount of water in the body, leading to various symptoms and complications.

Answer: C 
 Intracellular fluid is the fluid that is contained within the cells of the body.

Answer: I 
 A drop in blood protein levels can contribute to edema by reducing the amount of fluid that is reabsorbed from the interstitial spaces back into the blood.
