bicarbonate - HCO2, byproduct of body's metabolism. Blood brings to lungs and then it's exhaled as CO2. Kidneys help regulate albumin - family of globular proteins. main protein of human blood. water-soluble. binds water, cations, fatty acids, hormones, etc. negative oncotic pressure of blood acid - forms hydrogen ions in solution. low pH acidemia - increase in H+ concentration in blood above normal range (corresponding to decrease in pH) acidosis - buildup of acid in bloodstream aerob...

Patm Correct Answer: 760 mm Hg (mercury) PN2 (partial pressure of nitrogen in air) Correct Answer: Patm * PN2 (760 * 0.78) = 592.8 mm Hg PO2 (partial pressure of oxygen in air) Correct Answer: Patm * PO2 (760 * 0.21) = 160 mm Hg Alveolus Correct Answer: tiny air sacs of lungs which allow for rapid gas exchange Atmospheric pressure Correct Answer: pressure exerted by weight of atmosphere Boyle's Law Correct Answer: P x V = k. Inverse relationship between pressure and volume ...

ncotic force/pressure - Answer osmotic consequence of having a differential concentration of protein across the wall of a capillary osmotic force/pressure - Answer water moves from areas of low solute concentration to areas of high solute concentration. Difference in concentration. Fluid movement across cell walls. Renal/kidney tubule - Answer conveys urine from glomeruli to renal pelvis in vertebrate kidney
