high levels of ADH.
low levels of angiotensin II.
low levels of aldosterone.
9. Electrolytes
carry electrical currents allowing for production of action potentials.
control the osmosis of water between fluid compartments.
help maintain the body's acid-base balance.
are involved in all of these choices
10. What are the major physiological effects of acidosis and alkalosis?
acidosis: depression of CNS; alkalosis: overexcitability in the CNS and peripheral nerves
acidosis: decreased respiration; alkalosis: increased kidney filtration
acidosis: muscle spasms; alkalosis: confusion
acidosis: overexcitability in the CNS and peripheral nerves; alkalosis: depression of CNS
