Electrolytes Flashcards
Healthy person has ___ % total body water
50 - 60
Who has more body fluid and ECF (Infant or child) and is more prone to fluid volume deficits
Infant
Women and elderly have (more / less) body water, and elderly have less muscle mass thus increased fat cells (muscle cells carry more fluid)
Less
Tell me about infants until 3 years old Metabolic rates and Urine
Higher metabolism
More urine Excretion &
Cannot concentrate Urine

Acts as a _____ for electrolytes & nonelectrolytes
Maintains ___________
Digestion & Elimination
Tissue lube
Nutrients & Waste
Hormones, enzymes, blood platelets, red and white blood cells
Acts as a solvent
Maints Temp & Blood Pressure
A series of shifts and movements to achieve
Equilibrium of ______ (concentration level)
Equilibrium of ______ (pressure within fluid spaces)
Osmolarity
Pressure
Osmolarity is..
measurement of solute concentration.
It is the number of osmoles (Osm) of solute per litre (L) of solution (osmol/L or Osm/L)
_____ liquids that hold a substance in solution (water)
_____ substances dissolved in a solution (electrolytes and nonelectrolytes)
Solvents (water)
Solutes (electrolytes)
Sodium (Na) is found
(ECF or ICF)
ECF
Controls and regulates volume of body fluids / Affecting BP
Found in ECF
Sodium Na
Potassium (K) is found here
ICF
Cheif regulator of cellular enzyme activity and water content, CARDIAC
Potassium K
Metabolism of carbohydrate and protein, vital actions involving enzymes (ATP)
Magnesium Mg
Magnesium Mg is found here
ICF
Movement of Fluids and Electrolytes
(Shifting)
Fluid moves from areas with more fluid to areas of less
Osmosis
Movement of Fluids and Electrolytes
(Shifting)
Solutes move from higher concentration to lower
Diffusion
Movement of Fluids and Electrolytes
(Shifting)
Solutes move from lower concentration to higher
Active transport
Movement of Fluids and Electrolytes
(Shifting)
Forces fluid and solutes through the capillary wall
Filtration
Movement of Fluids and Electrolytes
(Shifting)
Prevents too much fluid from leaving the capillaries
Reabsorption
Hydrostatic Pressure does what…
What force makes this happen
Where does this happen in the body
Forces fluid and solutes to move out of the capillary.
Gravity
In the arterial end of the capillary
