Q

What maintains blood pressure?

A

ECF volume

21
Q

What maintains swelling or shrinking of a cell?

A

ECF osmolarity

22
Q

What is the normal value of a cell’s NaCl concentration?

A

0.85%

23
Q

Isotonic solution has a what type of NaCl concentration?

A

= 0.85%

24
Q

When a cell is placed in an Isotonic solution, what is the net movement of water?

A

Equally in and out of the cell

25
Q

Hypertonic solution has what type of NaCl concentration?

A

Greater than 0.85%

26
Q

When a cell is placed in a Hypertonic solution, what is the net movement of water?

A

Water moves OUT of cell - cell shrinks!

27
Q

Hypotonic solution has what type of NaCl concentration?

A

Less than 0.85%

28
Q

When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, what is the net movement of water?

A

Water moves INTO the cell - cell swells!

29
Q

How can you estimate the plasma osmolarity?

A

2(plasma [Na+])

30
Q

Hyponatremic Dehydration

A

Loss of Na+ is greater than the loss of fluid from ECF

- Causes shift of fluid from ECF into ICF

31
Q

Hypernatremic Dehydration

A

Loss of water is greater than the loss of Na+ from ECF

- Causes shift of fluid from ICF into ECF

32
Q
