fluid decreases as what increases?
age
what is intracellular fluid (ICF)?
fluids within cell
how much total body water is ICF?
2/3
what is extracellular fluid (ECF)?
fluid outside the cells (3 types)
how much total body is ECF?
1/3
what are the three types of ECF?
interstitial - lymph channel
intravascular - plasma/blood
transcellular - CSF, synovial fluid, parietonial fluid
what happens to cells in isotonic solution?
no change
what happens to cells in hypertonic solution?
cells shrink
what happens to cells in hypotonic solution?
cells swell
what is an example of an isotonic solution?
0.9% normal saline
what is an example of a hypotonic solution?
0.45% saline - more diluted
what is an example of a hypertonic solution?
3% saline - more concentrated (used with peripheral edema to shrink cells and remove access fluids)
