Following injection of ACTH an individual with secondary Addison's disease will exhibit a (n)____ serum cortisol value compared with the reference interval. a. unchanged b. decreased c. increased.
Which of the following statements is true regarding fluid shifts? a. Electrolytes has greater osmotic power than non electrolytes and therefore have the greatest ability to cause fluid shifts. B.There are always more positive electrolyte than negative in a a solution. It is therefore impossible to follow fluid shifts C. Electrolytes are not as important as proteins in regulating fluids shifts in the body D. Nonelectrolytes are the controlling factor in directing fluid shifts.
Ans) a. Electrolytes has greater osmotic power than non electrolytes and therefore have the greatest ability to cause fluid shifts.
Explaination:
- Since ions are charged particles, they can conduct an electrical current — that's why they're called electrolytes.
- Electrolytes have much greater osmotic power than nonelectrolytes because each electrolyte molecule disassociates into at least two ions.
