Ch. 3 - Fluids, Electrolytes, Acid-base Flashcards
Intercellular
Fluid within the cell
Extracelluar
Fluid outside the cell
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
Released by the posterior pituitary
Controls how much fluid leaves the body in urine
Causes reabsorption
Aldosterone
Regulate the reabsorption of water and sodium ions
Diffusion
Process by which substances move back and forth across membrane until evenly distributed
What ions and molecules move by diffusion
Glucose
Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
Water
Osmosis
Movement of pure solvent across membrane (water)
Isotonic
Equal solute concentration
Hypertonic
Greater solute concentration
Hypotonic
Less solute concentration
Filtration
Movement of water & solute a through a semipermeable membrane edit to pushing force
What is the pumping action the heart creates?
Hydrostatic pressure
Active transport
May move substances from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration
Who are most likely to experience severe consequences within their fluid balance
Elderly and young
Hypervolemia
Excessive blood volume
