1. What are two things that can stimulate ADH?
Answer
1. increased serum osmolality
2. decreased blood volume
2. True or False
Albumin acts like a magnet to attract water and hold it inside the blood vessel

3. How does fluid move through capillaries?
Answer
When hydrostatic pressure builds inside a capillary, it forces fluids and solutes out through the
