Intercellular Fluid (ICF)
About one half to two thirds of the total body fluid in an adult
Extracellular fluid (ECF)
About one third of the total body fluid in adult. Located in blood and the in tissue.
ICF
Stabilizer for parts of cell
Help maintain cell shape
Assist with transport of nutrients
Major ions: potassium, magnesium, phosphate
ECF
Appears in interstitial and intravascular fluid
Trans cellular fluid: specialized ECFs
Major ions: sodium, chlorine, carbonate
Volume of ECF is major factor of body fluid balance
Hypovolemic shock
Fluid overload
Adult at rest takes approximately
2,500 mL of fluid daily
Electrolytes
Minerals in the body that conduct electricity
Ion
An atom that has acquired an electrical charge and bonding ability
Cation
Positively charged ion
Sodium Potassium Calcium Magnesium
Anion
Negatively charged ion
Chlorine Bicarbonate
Ionization
Involves dissociation of compounds into respective free-standing ions
Major intercellular
Potassium K+ Magnesium Mg++ Sulfate So4++ Phosphate HPO44-
ROME
Respiratory Opposites Metabolic Equal
Normal Oxygen Saturation
95-100
Ph for the human body levels
7.35-7.45
Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP)
A blood test that provides information regarding electrolytes and fluid balance and includes information regarding renal function and glucose levels.
Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP)
A blood test that provides information regarding electrolytes and fluid balance. In addition to those findings included in the BMP, the CMP also includes information regarding the body’s metabolism, including protein and liver function.
