what 3 compartments does body water divide into
cells, interstitial, intravascular
what makes up 2/3 of body H2O
intracellular fluid
where is intracellular fluid found
skeletal muscle, blood cells, bone cells, adipose tissue
where is intravascular fluid found
interstitial(75%) and plasma(25%)
what are the 2 extracellular fluids
intravascular and interstitial
how is water lost
urination, defication, GI, respiratory, sweating
substances that dissolve in a solvant (water)
solutes

what is potassium
primary ICF cation (+)
what is chloride
primary ECF anion (-)
what is bicarbonate
primary ECF anion (-)
what is phosphate
primary ICF anion (-)
what does fluid balance depend on
electrolyte balance
movement of solutes from an area of high conc. to low conc.
diffusion
movement of solutes from an area of low conc. to high, conc.
osmosis
what is metabolic based on and maintained through
bicarb levels; renal function
what is respiratory based on and maintained through
carbonic acid levels; respiratory function
what can cause an imbalance
failure in metabolic and respiratory systems
what are metabolic imbalances generally caused by
organ disease
what is metabolic acidosis caused by
bicarb deficit
what is metabolic alkalosis caused by
bicarb excess
what is respiratory acidosis caused by
carbonic acid excess
what is respiratory alkalosis caused by
carbonic acid deficit
what causes increased CO2, acidic urine, acidic blood pH
metabolic acidosis
what causes convulsions, decreased CO2,, urine alkalosis, alkalotic blood pH
metabolic alkalosis
what causes rapid shallow breathing from inhibited lung function, acidic urine, acidic blood pH
respiratory acidosis
what causes deep slow respirations, alkaline urine, alkaline blood pH
respiratory alkalosis
what does both V+ and D+ indicate
acid/base status remains blanced
