FundofNurse

substance containing a hydrogen ion that can be liberated or released

conditon characterized by proportionate excess of hydrogen ions in the extracellular fluid, in which the pH falls below 7.35

movement of ions or molecules across cell mambranes, usually against a pressure gradient and withthe expenditure of metabolic energy

an antibody that causes a clumping of specific antigens

condition, characterized by a proportionate lack of hydrogen ions in the extracellular fluid concentration, in which the pH exceeds 7.45

ion that carries a negative electric charge

immunoglobin produced by the body in response to a specific antigen

foreign material capable of inducing a specific immune response

occurs when a patient donates his or her own blood for a transfusion

substance that can accept or trap a hydrogen ion; synonym for alkali

substance that prevents body fluid from becoming overly acid or alkaline

ion that carries a positive electric charge

pressure exerted by plasma proteins on permeable membranes in the body;synonym for oncotic pressure

act of determining the compatibility of two blood specimens

tendency of solutes to move freely throughout a solevent from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until equilibrium is established

accumulation of fluid in extracellular spaces

substance capable of breaking into ions and developing an electric charge when dissolved in solution

passage of a fluid through a permeable membrane whose spaces do not allow certain solutes to pass; passage is from an area of higher pressure to one of lower pressure

force exerted by a fluid against the container wall

excess of calcium in the extracellular fluid

excess of potassium in the extracellular fluid

excess of magnesium in the extracellular fluid

excess of sodium in the extracellular fluid

above-normal serum concentration of inorganic phosphorus

having a greater concentration than the solution with which it is being compared

excess of plasma

insufficient amount of calcium in the extracellular fluid

insufficient amount of potassium in the extracellular fluid

insufficient amount of magnesium in the extracellular fluid

insufficient amount of sodium in the extracellular fluid

below-normal serum concentration of inorganic phosphorus

having a lesser concentration than the solution with which it is being compared

deficiency of blood plasma

atom or molecule carrying an electric charge in solution

1. having about the same concentration as the solution with which it is being compared; 2. exercise in which muscles shorten (contact) and move

concentration of particles in a solution, or a solution's pulling power

passage of a solevent through a semipermeable membrane from an area of lesser concentration to an area of greater concentration until equilibrium is established

expression of hydrogen ion concentration and resulting acidity of a substance

substance dissolve in a solution

liquid holding a substance in solution

determining a person's blood type
