Ch 11: Hydration Flashcards
Purposes of Water
Constitutes a great percentage of Body Mass
Helps fill the spaces inside and outside the cells
Continually being formed and broken down during metabolic pathways in the body
Found in all major vessels
Water contained inside the cell membrane; Makes up 2/3 of the body’s water
Intracellular Fluid
Water outside of the cell; b/w the cells and transported throughout the body via veins, arteries and capillaries.
Extracellular Fluid
Primary factor that determines what space body water will occupy
Sodium and Potassium
Major Extracellular Solute
Sodium
Major Intracellular Solute
Potassium
Molecules that contain a Positive or Negative Charge
Electrolyte
Describes the concentration of Solutes in a Liquid
Osmolality
Primary Regulator of Hydration Status
Osmolality of ECF (specifically Plasma Osmolality)
Cause of the majority of fluid and electrolyte shifts in the body and between compartments
- Food and Beverage Intake
- Urine Loss during Recovery
- Sweat during Exercise
Physiological factors such as high Osmolality or Low Blood Pressure, which prompt Sodium and Water appetite
Dipsogenic Signal
Specialized nerves that can sense change in pressure in the heart and blood vessels
Baroreceptors
Most significant influence to thirst for water
Regulated by ECF Osmolality
A solution with a Lesser concentration of Solute (Fresh water vs Salt water)
Hypo-Osmotic (Sweat)
Key Driver of thirst
Plasma Osmolality
The rate at which fluids and their contents pass through the stomach via the pyloric sphincter and into the small intestine
Gastric Emptying Rate (GER)
Hydration efficiency was calculated as the volume of urine produced over a 4-hour period following ingestion of 1 liter of each beverage type
Beverage Hydration Index
Best defense against experiencing a heat-related illness
Abstention from overexertion in hot external environmental conditions or microenvironments
Key adaptations that improve tolerance to exercise in hot environments.
An earlier onset of sweating and greater sweat rate
The movement or flow of air over an object
Convection (Wind, movement against air)
Normal Hydration status
Euhydration
