Water
What is the role of a semipermeable membrane in dialysis?
To allow only large molecules to pass
To allow all molecules to pass
To block all molecules
To allow only small molecules to pass
Which process involves the movement of molecules from high to low concentration?
Convection
Filtration
Diffusion
Osmosis
What factor does NOT affect the rate of diffusion?
Color of the solution
Molecular size
Concentration gradient
Temperature
What is ultrafiltration (UF) in the context of dialysis?
Addition of electrolytes to the blood
Removal of excess water from blood due to a pressure gradient
Movement of solutes against a concentration gradient
Increase in blood glucose levels
What is the purpose of adding sodium to dialysate?
To enhance protein synthesis
To decrease blood pressure
To draw water from other body compartments into the bloodstream
To increase blood sugar levels
Which process is described as the movement of a solvent from low to high solute concentration?
Diffusion
Convection
Osmosis
Filtration
What is the role of glucose in dialysate?
To decrease fluid retention
To enhance protein absorption
To increase blood pressure
To provide energy and help control blood sugar levels
What is the significance of transmembrane pressure (TMP) in dialysis?
It enhances the taste of the dialysate
It increases the size of the semipermeable membrane
It drives ultrafiltration and fluid removal
It determines the color of the dialysate
