CC LEC 2 MIDTERMS Flashcards
Total body water volume weight
40 L; 60%
Intracellular fluid
25 L ; 40%
Extracellular body weight
15 L; 20%
Interstitial fluid volume
12 L; 80%
Plasma
3L or 20%
refers to the water or fluid that is outside the cells but within the tissues
Interstitial volume
Remaining 3L present in the blood vessels
Plasma volume
the major Extracellular cation
Sodium
the major Extracellular anion
Chloride
the major Intracellular cation
Potassium
is outside the cell
Sodium
the major Intracellular anion
Phosphate
Potassium
is inside the cell
2 concentrations of ions
Active transport
Diffusion
Requires energy to move ions across cellular membranes
Active transport
Molecules move against the concentration gradient
Active transport
For ever 3 ions of sodium needed to go outside of the cell there is corresponding entry of 2 potassium ions from plasma
ATPase-dependent Na+ -K ion pumps
Molecule is transported with the use of a channel
protein
SIMPLE DIFFUSION
● Molecule goes easily through the cell membrane
SIMPLE DIFFUSION
The molecule will make use of a protein to be
eliminated outside the cell/ to enter the cell
FACILITATED DIFFUSION
per kilogram of solvent
(w/w)
OSMOLALITY
per liter of solvent(w/v)
OSMOLARITY
The number of sodium molecules
circulating in the plasma refers to _________________
PLASMA OSMOLALITY
One of the triggers for the release of Renin and
Angiotensinogen is the ______________________
low plasma osmolality
_____________ is activated to increase the osmolality via
the reabsorption of Sodium
RAAS
● Normal plasma osmolality
○__________________ mOsm/kg of plasma H2O
275 - 295
It will reabsorb water
ADH
What happens if water is reabsorbed?
● Plasma will become diluted
excess water intake ➔ _________________
(becomes diluted
AVP and thirst are ______________
○ Water is ________________ – since there is no
AVP. Since AVP is one of the major
mechanismsin the body to reabsorb water.
■ ______________________ – LOWER
SPECIFIC GRAVITY
WATER LOAD
less/no water intake»_space;> ____________________
(many solutes/dissolved substances in the plasma)
○ AVP and thirst are ______________
■ Water is _______________
● _________________ - signifies the
presence of dissolved
substances
WATER DEFICIT
Target: increase volume after drinking water; and
decrease osmolality (both are stimulus
THIRST MECHANISM
● Plasma osmolality should always be _______________
normal
Determination of Osmolality
Urine or Serum but not plasma
major electrolyte concentration
found outside the cell
○ sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate
______________ contains many substances that may
affect osmolality, therefore it is not
counted (Clotting factors, etc
Plasma
colligative properties of a solution
○ freezing point
○ vapor pressure
○ osmotic pressure
○ boiling point
________________ must be centrifuged to remove
extraneous particles
Turbid specimen
