Fluid and Electrolytes Flashcards
what are the most replaced electrolytes
Sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium
water is what percent of the body
55% of body substance
can you alter the intracellular fluids
no
when we give fluid what does it go to
plasma volume
what is similar to plasma volume
cardiac output
movement of fluid through cell wall from hydrostatic pressure-
filtration
free movement of particles or solutes across a semipermeable membrane-
diffusion
when does diffusion occur
electrolyte movement
movement of water through a semipermeable membrane, the membrane must not allow particles to move
osmosis
movement of fluid through a cell or blood vessel membrane
filtration
“force”
Hydrostatic Pressure
Amount of water in a fluid is ______ related to the VISCOSITY of that fluid.
INVERSELY
what is of clinical significance for filtration
B/P
Edema
example of hydrostatic filtering forces
blood pressure
what does blood pressure do
It moves whole blood from the heart to capillaries where filtration can occur to exchange water, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and the tissues.
develops with changes in normal hydrostatic pressure differences.
edema
free movement of the solute across a permeable membrane
from higher to lower concentration
diffusion
