Fluid and Blood Therapy Flashcards
Roles of Fluids in the Human Body
transport, temperature regulation, maintain internal environment
Transport
deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells and remove waste materials
Temperature and Regulation
blood circulation to the skin and sweating increase heat dissipation, helping to keep the body at a constant temperature
Maintain Internal Environment
body fluid properties are kept constant to maintain an efficient metabolism
Total Body Fluid composition
18% protein
60% water
16% fat
6% minerals etc
TBF composition of newborn
80%
TBF composition of toddler
70%
TBF composition of child
65%
TBF composition of Adult man
60%
TBF composition of adult woman
55%
TBF composition of seniors
50-55%
TBW compartments of females
45% solids
55% fluids
TBW compartments of males
40% solids
60% fluids
Fluids are composed of
2/3 intracellular fluid
1/3 extracellular fluid
Extracellular fluids is composed of
75% interstitial fluid
25% plasma
Calculate the amount of water in each compartment for a 100kg male
TBW= 60% ICF= 2/3 of TBW ECF= 1/3 of TBW Interstitial fluid 75% of ECF Plasma 25% of ECF
Why is there more fluid in the interstitial compartment than the plasma?
plasma and proteins + reservoir
Electrolytes found in the ICF
Magnesium
Potassium
Phosphate
Proteins
Electrolytes in the ECF
Chloride sodium calcium bicarb glucose
Cell membrane transport
no extra energy required
passive (simple facilitate)
osmosis
Passive diffusion is
simple or facilitate
Simple diffusion
doesn’t have a carrier
Facilitated diffusion
has a carrier
Osmosis is the
simple diffusion of water
from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water across a semi permeable membrane
