show increase in the size of a cell  
🗑
hypokalemia   show
🗑
show a lower than normal concentration of magnesium in the blood plasma  
🗑
hyponatremic   show
🗑
show severely inadequate circulation that results in insufficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients necessary for normal tissue and cellular function, aka shock  
🗑
show a term used to describe a solution that causes cells to swell  
🗑
show a lower than normal oxygen content of the blood as measured in an arterial blood sample  
🗑
show a defense function of the body that produces antibodies to destroy invading antigens and malignancies  
🗑
inflammatory response   show
🗑
show the fluid found in all body cells  
🗑
ischemia   show
🗑
show a term used to describe a solution that causes cells neither to shrink nor swell.  
🗑
lactic acidosis   show
🗑
show mechanisms that use carrier molecules to move large, water soluble molecules or electrically charged molecules aross cell membranes.  
🗑
show a change from one cell type to another that is better able to tolerate adverse conditions; a conversion into a form that is not normal for that cell.  
🗑
multiple organ dysfunction syndrome   show
🗑
show death of a cell or group of cells as the result of disease or injury  
🗑
show mechanisms that tend to produce a response that balances a change in system  
🗑

show an inverse logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration  
🗑
show the amount of blood returning to the ventricle.  
🗑
show a membrane that allows some fluids and substances to pass through them but not others usually depending on size, shape, electrical charge, or other chemical properties.  
🗑
show a condition of severely inadequate blood flow to the body's peripheral tissues that is associated with life threatening cellular dysfunction; aka hypoperfusion.  
🗑
solutes   show
🗑
show the concept that describes the movement of fluid back and forth across the capillary wall (net filtration)  
🗑
stroke volulme   show
🗑
T lymphocytes   show
🗑
show the relative strength of a pathogen.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
