fluid and electrolyte basics Flashcards
hypertonic
higher particles outside cells
water leaves cell and the cell shrinks
hypotonic
higher particles inside cell
water moves in and cells expand
water regulation
distal convoluted tubule
particle regulation
proximal convoluted tubule
aldosterone
regulates na up take
every sodium reabsorbed, one k is released
atrial natriuetic factor
released by heart when the atria expand
blocks na reabsorption and promotes loss of water
antidiuretic hormone
draws water back in
increased water
increased osmolarity
where is ADH released from
posterior pituitary
dehydration
decrease water intake
excessive losses
Diabetes inspidus
no bg in urine it is adh
diabetes mellitus
body attempting to excrete the sugar
dehydratoin
decrease in total body water but na is at a normal level
water is pulled from cells and thirst drive is activated
can cause relative hypernatremia
water intoxication
dilutes ECF
Rarely develops becauae of efficiecy of the kidney
Water intoxication can be caused by
SIADH when hypothalamus is affected
water intoxication can cause what?
relative hyponatremia
is na loss> water loss
hypotonic
if water loss< na loss
hypertonic
