Body Fluids, Clearance and Glomerular Hemodynamics Flashcards
what contains the ICF
- blood cells
- cells
what comprises the ECF
- interstitial fluid
- plasma (serum)
adult male is composed of what percent water
- 60%
adult female is composed of what percent water
- 50%
formula for total body water
- body weight x fraction of body water
how much of the total body water is extracellular fluid
- 1/3
how much of the total body water is intracellular fluid
- 2/3
how much of the extracellular fluid is interstitial fluid
- 3/4
how much of the extracellular fluid is plasma
- 1/4
how much of the blood volume is hematocrit
- 45%
what are the major ions in ECF
- Na+ and Cl-
is the major intracellular cation
- K+
what are the major intracellular anions
- organic ions
- Pi
protein concentration of plasma versus ECF
- plasma has higher protein
concentration of osmolarity
- mOsm/L
concentration of osmolality
- mOsm/kg
what is tonicity (effective osmolality)
- osmolality of solutes that do not freely cross the cell membrane
osmolality of ICF and ECF
- 275-295 mOsm
ECF shows transient changes in osmolality and tonicity due to
- alterations in salt and water intake
calculation of total osmolality
- total osm = 2 x Na + glucose/18 + BUN/2.8 + EtOH/3.7
calculation of toxicity or effective osmolality
- 2 x Na + glucose/18
formula for net excretion
excretion = filtration + secretion - reabsorption
normal GFR for males
120 +/- 25 ml/min
what is GFR
- rate at which plasma is filtered at glomerulus
