What are the functions of body fluids?
- maintain blood volume
- regulate body temp
- transport material to and from cells
- serve as medium for cellular metabolism
- Assist with digestion of food
- Serve as medium for excreting waste
T or F: Water content varies with age, sex, adipose tissue. The more fat you have the less water you have compared to a person of a lean build.
true.

Most body fluid is contained withing two compartments:
_______fluid is fluid contained within the cells. It is essential for cell function and metabolism.
______ fluid is fluid outside the cells. It carries water, electrolytes, nutrients, and oxygen to cells and removes waste products. It consists of three types of fluid: interstitial, intravascular, and transcellular fluid.

_______: movement of water across a membrane from one area of less concentrated solution to greater concentrated solution
_______: movement of molecules of solute from Higher to lower concentration
Osmosis
Diffusion
________: movement water & smaller particles from area of high pressure to one of low pressure
____ ______: movement of molecules (electrolytes) from area of low concentration to high concentration
Filtration
Active transport
_______: movement of water across a membrane from one area of less concentrated solution to greater concentrated solution
________: movement water & smaller particles from area of high pressure to one of low pressure
Osmosis (concentration)
Filtration (pressure)
____ ______: movement of molecules (electrolytes) from area of low concentration to high concentration
_______: movement of molecules of solute from Higher to lower concentration
Active transport (low to high uses energy, like climbing stairs to get to the top of a slide)
Diffusion (going down a slide)
_______: movement of water across a membrane from one area of less concentrated solution to greater concentrated solution
________: movement water & smaller particles from area of high pressure to one of low pressure
Osmosis (concentration related - not pressure)…goes toward concentrated area to dilute it.
Filtration (pressure related)
What are the three passive transport systems?
osmosis, diffusion, filtration
The concentration of solutes providing pressure in body fluid is called….
____ refers to the # of particles of solute per kg of water.
osmolality
osmols
The concentration of solutes providing pressure in body fluid is called….
____ refers to the # of particles of solute per kg of water.
osmolality (also called tonicity)
osmols
______ pressure is the force created by fluid within a closed system and is responsible for normal circulation of blood. Blood flows from the high pressure arterial system to the low pressure capillaries and veins.
hydrostatic
______ pressure is the FORCE created by fluid within a closed system and is responsible for normal circulation of blood. Blood flows from the high pressure arterial system to the low pressure capillaries and veins.
hydrostatic
____ pressure is the power of a solution to DRAW water.
osmotic pressure
____ pressure is the power of a solution to DRAW water.
osmotic pressure
Plasma proteins in the blood exert osmotic pressure.

T or F: IOM recommends 2700 mL/day women, 3500 mL/day men.
True. And this is much higher than the 6-8 8-ounce glasses…
Situations that increase plasma osmalality and promote thirtst include

excessive sodium intae
decreased fluid intake

What is the difference between sensible and insensible fluid loss?
Sensible can be perceived and easily measured.
Insensible cannot… it is evaporation through skin, lungs and accounts for about 900mL/day
What are ways fluid leaves the body (output)
Urine: 1500 mL/day

Kidneys
The pituitary gland releases _____ if the fluid volume/pressure is low. It causes the kidney to retain fluid.
ADH
AntiDiuretic Hormone
Anti diuretic..against diuretic….against water loss.
The pituitary gland releases _____ if the fluid volume/pressure in the body is low. It causes the kidney to retain fluid.

When extracellular fluid volume is decreased, the kidney release renin. Renin converts angiotensin I into II. What does angiotensin II do?
acts on the nephrons to retain sodium and water.
