Urinary specific gravity will (increase, decrease not change) after drinking 3% sodium chloride.

Expert Solution

ANSWER- it will INCREASE the specific gravity.

EXPLANATION- our plasma is 0.9% NCl which means any concentration above it is hypertonic and below it is hypotonic. Here, 3% is hypertonic. when a person drinks it, there will be homeostatic mechanisms distrubances as this not only affects the specific gravity of urine but can also cause even life threatining complications by altering the osmolarity of the plasma. The thirst centers signal to take fluids, Intra and extracellular fluid gets messed up and vasopressin levels go down in blood cause more blood filteration to remove the NaCl from the body. Kidneys filter and with less amout of reabsorption as to eliminate the salt, the water follows it but the specific gravity will be more than the normal (normal is around 1.010- 1.025 range) anything above is high specific gravity of urine (which means there are more salts ratio when compared with the water amount). Higher specific gravity is a concentrated urine.

During a recessionary gap, is the goal to increase or decrease the equilibrium GDP? Will the change in spending be greater than, less than or equal to the change in the equilibrium GDP? In a given economy, with an equilibrium GDP of $750,000 both governmen purchases and taxes increase by $50,000. Solve for the new equilibrium GDP that will result from these two changes. In a given economy with an MPC of 0.8, the equilibrium GDP equals $600,000. If M increases by...
