exam 5 (fluid and electrolytes) Flashcards
ICF is the fluid-
inside the cells
ECF is the fluid-
outside of the cells
the two types of ECF fluid are-
-interstitial fluid
-intravascular fluid
what do the kidneys do?
adjust urine volume and axcrete electrolytes
what does anti-diuretic hormone do?
control water retention
What is the medicine form of ADH?
vasopressin
where is aldosterone released from?
adrenal glands
What does aldosterone do?
regulates Na+ and water
aldosterone causes kidneys to-
retain Na+ and water
aldosterone causes kidneys to excrete-
K+
What does the RAAS do?
increase blood pressure
what are cations?
positive charged ions
What are the four main cations?
-Na+
-K+
-Ca+
-Mg+
what are anions?
negative charged ions
what are the three main anions?
-Cl-
-P-
-HCO3
what are four ways depletion of electrolytes occurs?
-vomiting
-urination
-bowel movements
-sweating
