chapter 25: fluid and electrolytes Flashcards
what percent of body fluid makes up the human body?
45-75%
body fluid _________ with age, therefore the elderly have the ________ and infants have the ________
decreases; least; most
the percentage of fluid at each age depends on the ratio of __________ tissue, which is approxiamately 20% water, to __________ tissue, which is approximately 75% water
adipose connective; skeletal muscle
body fluid percentage _________ with __________ body fat
decreases; increased
who is more likely to have fluid imbalanced?
people with lower percentages of body fluid, like the elderly
what are the two compartments of fluid in the body?
intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid
what 2 fluids compose extracellular fluid?
interstitial fluid (fluid surrounding cells) and blood plasma (fluid within blood vessels)
our body fluid is composed of ___ ICF and ___ ECF. ECF is composed of ___ interstitial fluid and ___ blood plasma
2/3; 1/3; 2/3; 1/3
what is the composition of intracellular fluid?
K+, Mg2+, PO4 3-, negatively charged proteins
both interstitial fluid and blood plasma are composed of Na+, Cl-, and HCO3-, but ISF contains ________________ while blood plasma contains ________
little to no protein; protein
following fluid intake, water moves from the _______ blood plasma to the ________ ICF
hypotonic; hypertonic
if you are hydrated, water moves from _________ ICF to the __________ blood plasma
hypotonic; hypertonic
what are the 2 sources of fluid intake?
ingested water (food and drink; 2300 mL) and metabolic water (produced from aerobic cellular respiration; 200 mL)
which type of water loss is based on if it is measureable?
sensible (measurable) and insensible (not measurable)
__________ water loss always occurs, regardless of hydration state. __________ water loss is regulated through the amount of urine expelled from the body
obligatory; facultative
what are the 2 fluid imbalances with constant osmolarity?
volume depletion (isotonic fluid loss > gain) and volume excess (isotonic fluid gain > loss)
what are 2 fluid imbalances with changes in osmolarity?
dehydration (water loss > solute loss) and hypotonic hydration
hypotonic hydration is also known as water intoxication or postive water balance
what is fluid sequestration?
total body fluid is normal but is not distributed normally
edema = excess ISF around ______
ascites = fluid in the _________ cavity
pericardial effusion = fluid in ________ cavity
pleural effusion = fluid in the _______ cavity
cells; peritoneal; pericardial; pleural
fluid balance is regulated by monitoring:
blood volume, blood pressure, and blood plasma osmolarity
fluid _____ < fluid ________ = _________ blood volume and pressure; __________ blood osmolarity
(and vice versa)
intake; output; decreases; increases
what stimuli activate the thirst center?
decreased blood volume and pressure, increased blood osmolarity, and decreased salivary secretions
what stimuli inhibit the thirst center?
increased blood volume and pressure, decreased blood osmolarity, increased salivary secretions, and distension of the stomach
which hormone increases urine output?
ANP
___________ are molecules that don’t dissociate in solution; ________ are substances that dissociate in solution to form _____ and _________
nonelectrolytes; electrolytes; ions; cations
99% of sodium is within the _____ and 1% is in the ____. this gradient is maintained by __________
ECF; ICF; Na+/K+ pumps
