Question

If the blood volume increases above normal, there will be direct effects on body function and there will be compensatory mechanisms that will restore homeostasis. Categorize each change at left as being part of the direct effect or part of the compensation. Direct effect of increased blood volume Increased cardiac output Increased water in the urine Decreased plasma volume Increased Na+ in the urine Increased venous pressure Increased arterial pressure Increased stroke volume Increased venous return Compensatory effect to reestablish homeostasis Increased end-diastolic volume Reset

Explanation / Answer

Direct effect of increased blood volume

Compensatory effect to re-establish haemostasis

Increased cardiac output

Increased venous pressure

Increased arterial pressure

Increased end-diastolic volume

Increased stoke volume

Increased water in the urine

Increased sodium ions in urine

Increased venous return

Decreased plasma volume
