FINAL: water balance 2 Flashcards
which body compartment has the greatest volume of water?
INTRACELLULAR
distribution of water among water compartments is determined by __
distribution of water among water compartments is determined by osmotic pressure
water always moves from more __ solution to more __ solution
this is called __
water always moves from more dilute solution to more concentrated solution
this is called osmosis
higher permeability of a membrane to a solute = __ effective osmotic pressure
higher permeability of a membrane to a solute = lower effective osmotic pressure
protein concentration is higher in: plasma or intestitial fluid?
higher in plasma
since protein conc is higher in plasma, plasma has __ osmotic pressure and __ water
since protein conc is higher in plasma, plasma has high osmotic pressure and attracts water
colloids
proteins and other macomolecules that are too large to cross capillary endothelium
a large amount of water is released into the __ as part of secretions
a large amount of water is released into the GI tract as part of secretions
majority of water (85%) is absorbed in the __ (__ and __), the rest is absorbed in the __
majority of water (85%) is absorbed in the small intestine (jejunum and ileum), the rest is absorbed in the colon
in plasma and interstitial fluid, major cation is __
major anions are __ and __
in plasma and interstitial fluid, major cation is Na+
major anions are Cl- and bicarbonate
gains of water without solutes in ECF (such as plasma) __ ECF osmolarity making it __
gains of water without solutes in ECF (such as plasma) decrease ECF osmolarity making it hypotonic
excessive overconsumption of water dilutes the plasma resulting in __
excessive overconsumption of water dilutes the plasma resulting in hyponatremia
losses of water without solutes from the ECF compartment increases serum sodium aka __ and results in __
losses of water without solutes from the ECF compartment increases serum sodium aka hypernatremia and results in dehydration
sodium balance is mainly regulated by the hormone __
water balance is mainly regulated by the hormone __
sodium balance is mainly regulated by the hormone aldosterone
water balance is mainly regulated by the hormone vasopressin
when ECF osmolarity increases, the hypothalamus releases __ aka __
when ECF osmolarity increases, the hypothalamus releases vasopressin aka ADH
vasopressin release is also stimulated by reductions in
plasma volume
