ch 6,7,12 Flashcards
intracellular fluid
fluid inside the cells
extracellular fluid
fluid outside of the cells
interstitial fluid
water that surrounds the bodys cells and includes lymph
intravascular fluid
bloods plasma; exits within arteries veins and capillaries
transcellular fluid
those in specific compartments of the body, such as cerebrospinal fluid, digestive juices, and synovial fluid in joints
the primary control of water in the body is
through pressure sensors in the vascular system that stimulate or inhibit the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
ADH
substances that causes the kidneys to excrete more fluid
most common example of active transport
sodium-potassium pumps
in passive transport
no energy is expended specifically to move the substances, general body movements aid passive transport
diffusion
movement of a substance from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Filtration
movement of both water and smaller molecules through a semi permeable membrane from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure
Osmosis
movement of water from an area of lower substance concentration across a semipermeable membrane to an area of higher concentration
Isotonic
same osmolarity as blood
hypertonic
higher osmolarity as blood
hypotonic
lower osmolarity as blood
sensible losses
losses which someone is aware of, like urination
insensible losses
may occur without the person recognizing the loss
most common form of dehydration
hypovolemia; loss of fluid in body resulting in decreased blood volume
what is the process of third spacing
when fluid from intravascular space moves into interstitial spaces
dehydration signs and symtoms
thirst, weak rapid pulse, low BP, dry skin and mucous membranes, skin tenting, decreased urine output, increased temp
fluid excess signs and symptoms
bounding pulse, elevated BP, respiratory changes, edema, increased urine output, weight gain, heart failure
electrolytes; cations
positive (+)
electrolytes; Anions
Negative(-)
hypo and hyper natremia
hypo- sodium deficit
hyper- sodium excess
hyponatremia signs and symptoms
sodium less than 135, mental statues change, muscle weakness, nausea and vomiting
hypernatremia signs and symptoms
sodium greater than 145, thirst, mental status change, seizures, muscle weakness, respiratory compromise
