Q

intracellular fluid

A

It is the fluid within cells of the body. It consists mainly of water, along with dissolved solutes such as ions, proteins, nutrients, and other molecules necessary for cellular function

Q

movement of water

A

osmosis

relies of
hypotonic solutions- low in solute high in water
hypertonic- high in solute low in water
isotonic- same/ equal

Q

electrolytes

A

ions are primarily dissolved in bodily fluids, including blood, plasma, interstitial fluid, and intracellular fluid.
Ions are released when inorganic ions (NaCl) dissociate (Na+ and Cl- for example).
Electrolytes play a critical role in maintaining proper fluid balance.

Q

sodium concentration

A

If plasma sodium increases, plasma volume will need to increase to maintain a constant concentration.
This can cause water to move out of cells and into the blood plasma, causing cells to become dehydrated and shrink.
The kidneys will work to maintain a proper balance of sodium and water to prevent imbalances from becoming severe.
The kidneys will increase water reabsorption when acted on by ADH.

Q

increase in blood osmolarity

A

Hypothalamic osmoreceptors detect ↑ blood osmolality.
ADH released from posterior pituitary.
ADH acts on nephrons to reabsorb water into blood.
Urine becomes more concentrated.
Blood becomes more dilute.

Q

Plasma oncotic osmotic pressure

A

osmotic pressure exerted by large proteins present in plasma, particularly albumin. These proteins are too large to pass through the semipermeable capillary walls,
