Fluids and Electrolytes Flashcards
what is filtration
movement of water and solutes from a high pressure (blood) to low pressure (ISF) area
what is diffusion
movement of solutes from high concentration to low concentration
what is osmosis
movement of water from low solute concentration (ISF) to high concentration (blood)
what is active transport
movement of solute using carrier and energy from low concentration (ISF) to high concentration (cell)
function of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
resorption of water from the kidney tubules
function of aldosterone
resorption of sodium and water
function of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) an t-type natriuretic peptide
regulation of fluid, sodium, and potassium levels
what causes edema
- increased capillary hydrostatic pressure
- loss of plasma proteins
- obstruction of lymphatic circulation
- increased capillary permeability
what are the effects of edema
swelling, pitting edema, increased body weight, functional impairment, pain, dental complications, edema in skin
what is the function of potassium (K)
maintains heart and muscle contraction
what is hyperkalemia
everything is tight and contracted, MACHINE, MDKID
what is hypokalemia
everything is low and slow, GOTSHOT, AID
what is the function of magnesium (Mg)
keeps peace in muscles/calms muscles down
what is hypermagnesemia
calm and and quiet system functions
what is hypomagnesemia
buck wild system funcitons
