ICF
Where is Cl- primarly distributed in the body?

Define Osmosis
Movement of water through semipermeable membranes
Define Osmotic pressure
Pressure on one side of the membrane that prevents movement of water
Define Osmolarity
particles/L solution
Define Osmolality
Particles/kg H2O
Define Oncotic pressure
created by large molecules–>pulls water towards it
What is serum osmolality?
300mOsm/kg
(270-350)
Define hydration
State of extracellular volume (interstitial & intravascular space)
Define Volemia
Only intravascular volume
How do you assess hydration status?
Skin elasticity (turgor)
Body weight
MM moisture
Urinary production/USG (oliguria, high USG)
