cellular review Flashcards
serum osmolarity (concentration)
280-294
edema
accumulation of fluid interstitially (at expense of vascular system when occurs acutely)
cell membrane
Semi-permeable (H2O and electrolytes) except when injured
mediated transport
Transport mediated by secreted molecules (hormones, neurotransmitters, etc)
histamine and bradykinin
Released with injury
body fluids
intra and extracellular - contain electrolytes and non-electrolytes (glucose, CO2, urea, etc)
sodium pump
Repolarizes cell by moving Na back out of cell (inside is relatively negative) allowing K in
diffusion
Movement of solutes from greater concentration to less concentration
osmosis
Movement of water to greater concentration gradient
depolarization
results in cell contraction
hydrostatic pressure
Blood pressure against semi-permeable vascular walls - force causing fluids to move out
byproduct of anaerobic metabolism
lactic acid (sensed by chemoreceptors)
plasma oncotic/osmotic pressure
Exerts pull on fluid to keep it inside vascular systems
hypotonic
osmolarity less than 280
hypertonic
osmolarity greater 295
