Term
|
Definition
| occurs when too much water and solutes are taken at the same time. although extracellular fluid volume increases, plasma osmolarity may remain the same. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| occurs when too much water is taken in without solute. volume increases, but because solute is not present, plasma osmolarity decreases. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Occurs when water and solute are lost at the same time. This condition primarily involves a loss of plasma volume. Plasma osmolarty usually remains normal even though volume is low. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When water, but not solute is lost dehydration occurs. Dehydration involves a loss of volume but because solute is not lost in the same proportion, plasma osmolarity increases. |

posterior pituitary hormone that regulates water reabsoption in the kidneys. also called vasopressin. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
the means by which water intake is stimulated. the thirst center in the hypothlamus is stimulated by an increase in the osmolarity of extracellular fluid or by a large decrease in plasma volume which prompts an individual to ingest fluids. |
