25 electrolyte balance acid/base Flashcards
Intracellular
inside cells, 2/3 of water found here; K+, PO4-, Mg+
Extracellular
outside of cells 1/3 of water; ^Na+, Cl-, HCO3-; interstitial fluid, blood vessesl (plasma), lymphatic vessels (lymph); cavities: cerebral spinal fluid, glandular secretions
Water electrolytes move through:
filtration, osmosis, diffusion, active transport pump- move against concentration gradient [atp]
Water balance- input has to equal
output; 2500 ml/day
Fluid intake from
60% fluid/drink, 30% food, 10% water from metabolism (breakdown of glucose=water&glucose, )
Primary indicator of need for water intake
Thirst
Fluid excreted by
kidneys/urine (primary regulator adh [in] aldosterone [out], skin/lungs 28%, feces/sweat 12%
Dehydration
v blood volume/pressure=hypovolemic shock
Electrolytes
produce cations+ and anions- when dissolved
Sodium
chief extracellular cation 90% of cations in extracellular fluid
Hyper/hypo natremic
too much/little sodium in the blood-controlled by aldosterone secreted by adrenal cortex
Hypernatremic
lose water, not sodium high concentration of Na; diuretics- lose water through urine; diabetes- lose glucose in urine that takes water with it
Hyponatremic
^water intake vNa concentration
Potassium
chief intracellular cation; regulated by aldosterone- stimulates distal tubule of kidney to excrete potassium into urine
Hyperkalemic
malfunctioning kidneys unable to excrete K; excess Potassium in the blood
