Function of plasma protein? - correct answer ✅Albumin, globulins, and fibrinogen. Maintains osmotic pressure, coagulation factors, transports antibodies, hormones, lipids, vitamins, and minerals. Intracellular contain a high ____- note which electrolytes - correct answer ✅Potassium, magnesium and phosphate Physiologic effect of hyponatremia? - correct answer ✅Results from low serum sodium levels (< mEq/L).

How does the body maintain acid-base balance? - correct answer ✅Normal acid-base balance is maintained by the lungs and kidneys. Carbon dioxide, a by-product of normal metabolism, is a weak acid.

Systemic effect during an inflammatory response - correct answer ✅systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is an exaggerated defense response of the body to noxious stressor (infection, trauma, surgery, acute inflammation, ischemia, or reperfusion, or malignancy) to localize and then eliminate the endogenous or exogenous source of the insult.

Answers Rasmussen University
define and know the role of a monocyte, neutrophils macrophages, lymphocytes - correct answer ✅Monocytes: WBC that replinish macrophages and dendritic cells in normal states and respond to inflammation by migrating to infected tissue Neutrophils: infection fighting agents, which are usually the first to arrive on the scene of an infection Macrophages: WBC within tissues, produced by differentiation of monocytes; they phagocytize and stimulate lymphocytes and other immune cells to respond to pathogens. Lymphocytes: T cells, natural killer cells, B cells. they provide immunity against viral infections and make antibodies. Define leukocytosis - correct answer ✅increased WBC count Define active acquired immunity - correct answer ✅body must build antibodies and work for the immunity

Why are casts present with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis - correct answer ✅because the inflamed tubules mold RBCs and proteins into a mass Polycystic kidney disease results in gradual degeneration of the kidneys - correct answer ✅true know the phases of kidney injury - correct answer ✅initial (prodromal) phase: Asymptomatic. although renal damage is occurring, the nephrons that are still functioning to compensate for those that are not. Second (oliguric) phase: impaired glomerular filtrations leads to solute and water reabsorption. this reabsorption decreases daily urine output to approximately 400 mL or less, such that waste products begin to accumulate (uremia). Third (diuretic) phase: renal function gradually returns as healing and cellular regeneration occur. Diuresis occurs due to tubular damage that impairs the kidneys ability to concentrate urine. Daily urine output in this phase can be as much as 5L. The excessive urine output can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
