CH 24 HW & Quiz Flashcards
T of F: A newborn baby’s weight is as much as 75% water, whereas obese and elderly people’s weight is as little as 45% water
True
The blood, lymph, tissue fluid, and trans cellular fluid are all examples of which of the following?
Fluid compartments
How does water move from the digestive tract to the bloodstream?
Osmosis
If a local imbalance between the ICF and ECF occurs, water movement called _____ restores the balance. This depends on the relative concentration of solutes in each compartment.
Osmosis
When is a person in a state of fluid balance?
Daily fluid gains equal losses.
The total body water (TBW) of a 70kg (150lb) young male is about?
40L
% of TBW in ICF
65%
% of TBW in Interstitial Fluid
25%
% of TBW in Blood plasma and lymph
8%
% of TBW in Transcellular fluid
2%
Fluid intake is governed mainly by thirst. What is one thing that can make a person thirsty?
Reduced blood pressure
The 2 ways water can move from one fluid compartment to another?
Capillary filtration from the blood stream to the interstitial space and osmosis between other compartments
T or F: The only way to control water output significantly is through variations in urine volume.
True
Water balance is most directly tied to?
Electrolyte balance
How do hypovolemia and dehydration differ?
In dehydration water is lost, and in hypovolemia both water and electrolytes are lost
% of TBW that is water of a 70kg young male
55-60% water
What happens to ECF osmolarity during dehydration?
It increases
How is water intake regulated?
Osmoreceptors respond to angiotensin II and to rising osmolarity of ECF, Hypothalamic neurons produce antidiuretic hormone (ADH) promoting water conservation, and cerebral cortex produces a conscious sense of thirst
T or F: Cold weather has a dehydrating effect on the human body
True, cold air drier and absorbs more body water from the respiratory tract
The 2 types of fluid deficiency
Volume depletion and dehydration
What causes hypotonic hydration?
ADH Hypersecretion
T or F: In cases of volume depletion, TBW declines but fluid osmolarity is normal
True. Water and a proportional amount of its dissolved solutes are lost, therefore osmolarity is not affected
