The most important regulator of electrolyte concentrations in extracellular fluids is?
The answer is Aldosterone. Accounts for >95% of the mineralocorticoid produced; the essential function of mineralocorticoids is to regulate the electrolyte concentrations in extracellular fluids, (Na+ and K+)
What are body fluids outside of cells called?
Normal fluid outside of the cells is extracellular or interstitial fluid. Abnormal accumulations of extracellular fluid is referred to as edema.
Identify the three major subdivision of extracellular fluid found in the body?
The body is made up of three major extracellular materials. These materials are; body fluids, cell secretions and extracellular matrix.
What is the major anion in the extracellular fluids of the body?
Major Intracellular cation - K+ (Potassium) Major Extracellular cation - Na+ (Sodium) Major Intracellular anion - PO4+ (Phosphate) Major Extracellular anion - Cl- (Chloride)
Chemical substances secreted by cells into the extracellular fluids that regulate the metabolic function of other cells in the body are called?
hormones
The total body water is divided into intracellular and extracellular fluids Plasma is considered?
extracellular
Which systems collects and begins disposal of extracellular fluids?
Lymphatic

Fluids located outside a cell?
Extracellular fluid is fluid located outside a cell. The average person has about 19 liters of extracellular fluid in his body.
What is the name of the pressure that forces fluids from capillaries into extracellular spaces?
Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure
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.
What are body fluids outside of cells called?
Normal fluid outside of the cells is extracellular or interstitial fluid. Abnormal accumulations of extracellular fluid is referred to as edema.
What is the method of active transport across the cell membrane in which the cell takes in extracellular fluids?
penis
Identify the three major subdivision of extracellular fluid found in the body?
The body is made up of three major extracellular materials. These materials are; body fluids, cell secretions and extracellular matrix.
What is the medium for all body fluids?
Extracellular fluid (ECF) is all body fluid outside of cells.
How do you characterized the difference in resistance to shear in fluids?
all fluids have no shear strergths the rate with that they deform will vary with the fluid.
Does connective tissue have an epithelial origin?
No, it does not. But it does have relatively few cells and a large amount of extracellular matrix.
