Fluid And Electrolytes 1 Flashcards
When the total volume of water in the body or the amounts in one or more of its fluid compartments have increased or decreased beyond normal limits
Fluid imbalance
Substances such as salts that dissolve or break apart in water solution
Electrolytes
Normal water weight in males and females
60% and 50%
How does fat effect an individual’s body weight to water ration
It decreases the amount of water to weight
How much water weight can infants have
80%
Two major fluid compartments that total body water is split into
Extra cellular and intracellular fluid
Body fluid found outside of cells
Extracellular fluid
The liquid part of the whole blood found in the blood
Blood plasma
Fluid surrounding cells
Interstitial fluid
Group of specialized extracellular fluids including lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, humors of the eye, and synovial fluid
Tea acellular fluid
Three divides of extracellular fluid
Blood plasma, interstitial fluid, transcellular fluid
Body fluid inside of cells
Intracellular fluid
Where does fluid output occur from
Kidneys, lungs, skin, and intestines
Three mechanisms for controlling plasma, IF, and ICF levels
Concentration of electrolytes in ECG, capillary blood pressure, concentration of proteins in blood
What does fluid balance imply
Homeostasis, or relative constancy of body fluids
