reduced tissue mass
Hypertrophy - CORRECT-ANSWERSIncrease in cell size, results in enlarged
tissue mass
Hyperplasia - CORRECT-ANSWERSIncreased number of cells, results in
enlarged tissue mass

arterial level
, Osmotic Pressure - CORRECT-ANSWERSPull, typically on the veinous level,
wherever the waste needs to be eliminated from the body
Isotonic Solutions - CORRECT-ANSWERSCompletely balanced solutions,
blood, NS
Hypotonic Solutions - CORRECT-ANSWERSLess solute so its less
concentrated, only a few pepper flakes, 0.45% NaCl (1/2 NS)

weakness, hyperactive bowel sounds
Hypocalcemia - CORRECT-ANSWERSweak bones and teeth, severe muscle
cramping, Trousseau and Chvostek signs, caused by not ingesting enough
calcium or vitamin D
