7. Why during adolescence (1314 years old), does intracellular water in womentendencyt decrease and attend to increase?

Women's menstrual bleeding

Women drink less water than men

Men are more physically active that provide more cells than women

None answer above

8. What is osmosis?

It is all water within the cell membrane and cell content

It is all water external to the cell membrane

The force that tends to move water from a low-concentration solution into a high- concentration solution

None answers above

9. What are the conditions that lead to the release of ADH and stimulate drinking water?

Increased Extracellular water osmolarity

Decrease blood volume

Decrease renal perfusion

Increase Extracellular water osmolarity, decrease blood volume, decrease renal perfusion

11. What is the anion gap?

([Cl- ] + [HCO3 - ]) – ([Na+ ]+[K+ ])

([Na+ ]+[K+ ]) - ([Cl- ] + [HCO3 - ])

[Cl- ] – ([Na+ ]+[K+ ])

([Cl- ] + [HCO3 - ]) – [Na+ ]
