To maintain proper fluid balance, the body contains two sets of receptors, one that measures the volume of the ________ and the other that records the volume of the ________.
A) cerebrospinal fluid; cells
B) extracellular fluid; cells
C) blood; cells
D) interstitial fluid; intravascular
E) sodium ions; blood

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The body contains receptors that measure the volume of the blood and cells separately to maintain proper fluid balance. Option C correctly identifies the two sets of receptors responsible for maintaining proper fluid balance. Option A is incorrect as cerebrospinal fluid is not involved in regulating fluid balance. Option B is incorrect as the extracellular fluid includes both interstitial fluid and intravascular fluid, which are measured separately by the receptors. Option D correctly identifies the location of the receptors involved in regulating fluid balance but does not provide the specific types of fluid being measured. Option E is incorrect as sodium ions alone are not used to regulate fluid balance, and do not provide information on overall fluid volume in the body.
