Active & Passive Transport Flashcards
total body water (TBW)
extracellular fluid + intracellular fluid
extracellular fluid
interstitial fluid + plasma volume + transcellular fluid
transcellular fluid is _
completely surrounded by epithelial cell (e.g. joint synovial fluid, cerebrospinal fluid)
TBW in males
60% of body weight; usually around 42L
TBW in females
50% of body weight; usually around 35L
intracellular fluid makes up _
60% of total body water (males and females)
extracellular fluid makes up _
40% of total body water (males and females)
interstitial fluid makes up _
75% of ECF
plasma volume makes up _
20% of ECF
transcellular fluid makes up _
5% of ECF
blood volume equation

K+ in cell
120mM
Ca++ in cell
0.0001mM
Cl- in cell

protein-free plasma
[ion] is raised because it was originally only in 93% of plasma (plasma is 7% proteins/lipids); so if protein/lipids are removed –> ion concentration will mM/0.93 which will go up
examples of passive transport
facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion
determinants of passive transport
size, charge, and lipid solubility
When is diffusion not random?
when some other force (gravity, pressure, electrical charge) influences the motion
simple diffusion occurs through _
channels/pores or lipid bilayer
pores are _
non-gated; always open
