Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Water is replenished in two major ways: ingestion and metabolism.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The first stage of homeostasis is fluid exchange between systemic capillaries and interstitial fluid by passive diffusion. Capillary walls are permeable to crystalline electrolytes. This allows equilib-rium between the two extracellular compartments to occur quickly.
