fluid Flashcards
fluid composition of the body changes as we _____
age
we ____ fluid as we age
LOSE (we get saggy)
as body mass (especially MUSCLE mass) increases , fluid composition _____
increases
the more _____ you have, the more fluid you have
muscle
which gender is made of more fluid based on muscle mass AND adipose tissue?
men
the more adipose tissue, the _____ fluid in our body
LESS
fluid compartments (2):
- intracellular
- extracellular
fluid compartment: where MOST of our fluid is (2/3); INSIDE our cells in cytosol
intracellular
how much of our fluid is located inside our cells (intracellular compartment)
2/3
fluid compartment: part we filter all the time; 1/3 of our fluid
extracellular
T/F: we move fluid between intracellular and extracellular compartments all of the time
true
2 parts of the extracellular compartment:
- interstitial space (interstitial fluid)
- inside blood vessels (plasma)
part of extracellular compartment: NOT in circulation
interstitial fluid/space
part of extracellular compartment: IN circulation; plasma
inside blood vessels
fluid composition parts (3):
- water
- nonelectrolytes
- electrolytes
fluid composition part: MAJORITY of fluid composition in the body; important to be biologically active; “universal solvent”
water
fluid composition part: organic molecules (glucose, lipids); do NOT dissociate in water; can accumulate to draw water to it
nonelectrolytes
fluid composition part: greater osmotic power/potential bc they DISSOCIATE in water
electrolytes
electrolytes contribute to what other 3 important factors within the body beside fluid composition?
- resting membrane potential
- muscle contractions
- neurological impulses
the composition of electrolytes varies in different parts of the body; not equally ______
distributed
responsible for the unequal distribution of Na+ and K
sodium-potassium pump
sodium (Na+) is located where?
most OUTSIDE cells
potassium (K) is located where?
mostly INSIDE cells
electrolyte composition: mostly OUTSIDE of our cells; transport of it maintains pH by acting like a buffer; in blood stream
bicarbonate (HCO3)
electrolyte composition: works INSIDE the cells (unlike bicarbonate); regulates pH
phosphate buffer
electrolyte composition: breaks the rules; can’t filter out of the blood; inside blood vessels; not an equal distribution
protein
sodium is within the ____ _____ (aka outside of the cell)
blood plasma
phosphate buffer is within ______ _____
intracellular fluid
factors that affect Fluid Movement (2):
1) hydrostatic pressure
2) osmotic potential
factor that affects fluid movement: fluid moves from hi to low pressure
hydrostatic pressure
factor that affects fluid movement: concentration of ions from two different sides of a cell
osmotic potential
locations of fluid movement (where fluid movement occurs) (2):
- between plasma and interstitial fluid
- between interstitial fluid and intracellular fluid
location of fluid movement: out of the blood stream into interstitial space; major factor = hydrostatic pressure (BP)
between plasma and interstitial fluid
location of fluid movement: through a selectively permeable membrane (plasma membrane); major factor = osmotic gradient
between interstitial fluid and intracellular fluid
what drives fluid movement between plasma and interstitial fluid?
hydrostatic pressure (BP)
what drives fluid movement between interstitial fluid and intracellular fluid?
osmotic gradients
water intake EQUALS water output
water balance
forms of water intake (2):
- ingestion
- metabolic water
