extracellular fluid is composed of ___ fluid & ___ ___ (and in specialized cases, transcellular fluid)
interstitial
blood plasma
net diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from high to low water concentrations
osmosis
the total number of particles in a solution:
1 osmole = __ mole of a SOLUTE PARTICLE (eg, glucose - cannot dissociate)
1
if a molecule can dissociate into ions (NaCl):
1 mol NaCl = __ osmole/L

osmoles per KG of water is called ____, while osmoles per LITER of water is called ____; in dilute body fluids the terms can be used interchangably
osmolality
osmolarity
when inter & extracellular fluids are in osmotic equilibrium (~282mOsm/L) the solution is termed:

in __ sol’n, osmolarity < norm extracell fluid
isosmotic
hyperosmotic
hypo-osmotic
____ occurs with low plasma sodium, and can either be due from ____ via loss of NaCl or ___ via over-retention of water (high sec. of ADH)
hyponatremia
dehydration
overhydration

hyponatremia
____ occurs with high plasma sodium, either from ___ via water loss (lack of ADH prodx) or ____ via excess NaCl
-is less severe
hypernatremia
dehydration
overhydration
excess fluid in body tissues can either be ___ edema due to hyponatremia or ___ due to fluid leakage or lymphatic failure
