The total body water is divided into intracellular and extracellular fluids Plasma is considered?
extracellular
Cells are often bound to the extracellular matrix by in the plasma membrane?
protiens
The area surrounding cells outside the plasma membrane is referred to as the environment?
Extracellular environment
What mineral helps regulate extracellular volume?
Sodium helps regulate extracellular volume. Sodium such as in blood plasma and extracellular fluids in other tissues, bathe cells and carry out transport functions for nutrients and wastes.
Where is Extracellular fluid found in body?
proteins and electrolytes including the liquid in blood plasma and interstitial fluid
Is diffusion the dominant method of carbon dioxide transport?
Enzyme carbonic anhydrase forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) which dissociates into H+ and HCO3. 70% of carbon dioxide is transported in plasma as HCO3. BICARBONATE IONS.
How is CO2 from the tissues converted into HCO3 in the blood?
CO2 combines with H2O in blood plasma to form H2CO3 (carbonic acid). Carbonic acid readily dissociates into HCO3 + H+ . The reaction between CO2 and water happens inside red blood cells, and the reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase.
Is plasma intracellular or extracellular?
Chloride is an Anion in Extracellular Fluid
The total body water is divided into intracellular and extracellular fluids Plasma is considered?
extracellular
What are cells often bound to the extracellular matrix by?
The cells are often bound to the extracellular matrix by proteins in the plasma membrane. The extracellular matrix is the structural support of tissue.
What are the two sources of extracellular fluid?
Plasma and interstitial space
What separates the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments?
The barrier that separates the interstitial fluid from the intracellular fluid is the plasma membrane. The interstitial fluid is a major component of the extracellular fluid.
Is blood plasma extracellular or intracellular?
It is the intravascular fluid part of extracellular fluid (all body fluid outside of cells)
Why does carbon dioxide move from blood to alvelous?
By 3 main mechanisms: 1. As bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) Carbon dioxide combines with water to form carbonic acid with the aid of the enzyme, carbonic anhydrase. The carbonic acid dissociates into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions. Bicarbonate ions are transported via the blood plasma to the alveoli, where the reverse process occurs to revert back to carbon dioxide. 2. Carbaminohaemoglobin Carbon dioxide combines with haemoglobin to form carbaminohaemoglobin. This is reversible at the alveoli. About 10% is transported this way. 3. Dissolved in blood plasma. The most straightforward way. Simply dissolve in blood plasma and bring it over to the alveoli. About 5% is transported this way.
Does cholesterol adhere to the extracellular surface of animal cell plasma membrane?
No it does not.
What is the extracellular fluid that occupies spaces outside blood vessels?
plasma
Which type of connective tissue has a liquid extracellular matrix?
plasma
