Across
  1. 2. Ca level above 10.2 mg/dL, causing lethargy, bone pain, and increased risk of kidney stones
  2. 7. A condition resulting from excessive water loss, leading to symptoms such as dry mucous membranes, decreased urine output, and hypotension
  3. 10. K level below 3.5 mEq/L, causing muscle weakness, cramping, and arrhythmias
  4. 12. Passive movement of water across a semipermeable membrane, driven by solute concentration gradients
  5. 14. Mg above 2.1 mg/dL, seen in conditions like renal failure and causing diminished reflexes
  6. 15. A clinical sign of hypocalcemia characterized by facial muscle spasm upon tapping the facial nerve
  7. 16. The fluid found between cells within tissues, acting as a medium for nutrient and waste exchange
  8. 17. A condition marked by a decrease in blood pH below 7.35, indicative of excessive hydrogen ion concentration
Down
  1. 1. A metabolic or respiratory disturbance leading to blood pH above 7.45, reflecting a deficit in hydrogen ions
  2. 2. Ca level below 8.6 mg/dL, leading to tetany, muscle spasms, and positive Chvostek’s and Trousseau’s signs
  3. 3. The fluid compartment outside cells, comprising plasma and interstitial fluid, vital for nutrient exchange
  4. 4. Mg less than 1.3 mg/dL, leading to symptoms such as muscle cramps and arrhythmias
  5. 5. The portion of extracellular fluid located within blood vessels, essential for circulatory function
  6. 6. A potentially life-threatening condition; K levels exceed 5.1 mEq/L, commonly affecting cardiac conduction
  7. 8. A sign of hypocalcemia where inflating a blood pressure cuff induces carpal spasm
  8. 9. Serum Na levels above 145 mEq/L, often causing neurological symptoms such as confusion and seizures
  9. 11. Na level below 135 mEq/L, causing cellular edema and potentially leading to neurological complications
  10. 13. A solution with the same osmolarity as blood plasma, preventing cell swelling or shrinking
