Question

capd is so named because the ________ of the abdominal cavity is the dialysis membrane.
a fresh amount of ________ is introduced directly into the abdominal cavity from a bag that is temporanly attached to a permanently implanted plastic tube.
______ and ______ molecules pass from the blood vessels in the abdominal wall into the dialysate before the fluid is collected four or eight hours later.
the solution is drained into a bag from the abdominal cavity by ________, and then it is discarded.
waste
diasylate
water
peritoneal lining
salt
gravity

Explanation:

1. For the first blank: CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis) uses the peritoneal lining of the abdominal cavity as the dialysis membrane. So the answer is peritoneal lining.
2. For the second blank: In peritoneal dialysis, dialysate is introduced into the abdominal cavity. So the answer is dialysate.
3. For the third and fourth blanks: During peritoneal dialysis, waste and water (or other solutes like salt, but waste and water are common) pass from blood vessels into the dialysate. So possible answers are Waste and Water (or Waste and Salt, but Waste and Water is more typical).
4. For the fifth blank: The dialysate is drained from the abdominal cavity by gravity. So the answer is gravity.

Answer:

1. peritoneal lining
2. dialysate
3. Waste; Water (or Waste; Salt)
4. gravity
