body fluid compartments Flashcards
what is interstitual fluid
water that lies between blood circulation and cells
what is transcellular fluid
CSF, pleural, synovial etc
what is included in extracellular fluid
- plasma
- interstitial
- transcellular
how does cellular movement occur between the lumen and the intersitium
- absorbing sodium, chloride and potassium creates osmotic gradient
- is paracellular
why is high sodium, glucose and potassium solutions needed
to maximise water translocation
how does sodium movement occur
- across basolateral membrane
- sodium potassium atpase
- build up make positive electrochemical gradient
- helps chloride movement
what is colloid osmotic pressure
osmotic gradient created by the differential distribution of protein across this barrier
how does movement between cappilaries occur
hydrostatic pressure in capillary and extracellular fluid hydrostatic pressure makes net outward force
what is starlings force
determines the ratee of plasma filtration from blood to intersitium
what are the effects of right sided heart failure
- hard for blood to be pumped back into heart from veins
- blood build up makes backlog increasing pressure
how does right sided heart failure affect fluid
- increased net filtration out of capillaries
- pressure is greatest at feet
what are the effects of left sided heart failure
- pressure build up until excessive build up of blood into the pulmonary interstitial fluid
how is there stable levels of plasma nd interstitial fluid
blood filtration is equal to drainage rate of the liver of the lymph
what causes lymphedema
blockage to the lymphatic system
what causes pitting oedema
- no blockage to the lymph system
- there is a change in starling forces
how does water move intracellularly and extracellularly
- difference in osmolarity
- water soluble membrane
- aquaporins
- move from low to high
how do solutes exert an osmotic force
- differential distribution across a membrane
- increased permeability will decrease the osmotic force
