Chapter 8 Flashcards
osmotic activity may be expressed in 2 ways
osmolality vs osmolarity
1 L of water weighs
1 Kg/ 2.2 LBS
tonicity
a change in water content causes cells to shrink or burst
tonicity examples
hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic
hypertonic causes cells to
shrink
hypotonic causes cells to
shrink
isotonic causes cells
to do neither
ECF =
plasma + interstitial + transcellualr
when transcellular fluid becomes considerably enlarger this is called
third spacing
third spacing causes
ascites in peritoneal cavity
_____ drives colonial osmotic pressure
ALBUMIN
keeps fluid in capillaries
tissue hydrostatic pressure, capillary colloidal osmotic pressure
pushes fluid out
capillary filtration pressure, tissue colloidal pressure
what forces work to keep blood in the capillary
capillary COP and tissue hydrostatic pressure
edema
palpable swelling/ expansion of interstitial fluid
edema is caused by
increased capillary filtration pressure, decreased capillary colloidal osmotic pressure, increased capillary permeability, obstruction to lymph flow
what regulates sodium balance
thirst and ADH
deficiency of or decreased response to ADH
diabetes insipidus
SIADH-ADH
secretion continues when serum osmo is reduced
SIADH-ADH causes
water retention and dilution hypoatremeia
disorders of sodium and water balance
isotonic fluid volume deficit, isotonic fluid volume excess
isotonic fluid volume deficit
decrease in ECF including circulating blood volume.
Isotonic fluid volume excess
usually associated with sodium increase accompanied by increase in body water
symptoms of isotonic volume deficit
vomiting, diarrhea, polyuria, excess sweating, third space loss
hyponatremia causes
diuretics, SIADH
hyponatermia manifestations
muscle cramps/weakness, CNS, N&V, cramps, diarrhea
hypernatremia causes excess body fluid _____
loss
hypernatremia is caused by
defect in thirst
hypernatremia manifestations
ECF fluid loss and dehydration (thirst), CNS, seizures, decreased vascular volume
