Gg Flashcards
Types of fluid
Extracellular
Intracellular
Tramscellualr: synovial, peritomeal, pericardial fluid -1-2l
What dose total water depemd om
Obesity, age, genser
Woken have lover becauuse more fat
With age and obesity er have lower water
Water of fetus , newbkrms and young adults
Fetus 90
Newborn: 78-86
Young adults: 55-60
total body water
Total body water: Radioactive water/heavy water/antipyrin
- Mixes with the total body water.
ECF
ECF: Disperse but do not traverse the cell membrane.
- Radioactive Na+ and Cl- (some entry into cells - over-estimated)
- Inulin (lack distribution - low estimate)
plasma volume
Plasma volume: substances that stay in the vascular system.
- Albumin with radioactive iodine or Evans blue (binds easily with plasma proteins
blood volume
Blood volume:
- Directly: inject RBCs with radioactive markers and measure radioactivity of blood.
- Indirectly: blood volume = plasma volume/1-hematocrit
volume of blood in people
Volume:
Adults: 7% of bw
- Males: 7.7%
- Females: 6.5-7% (higher % of fat - less total body water)
Newborns: 70-100ml/kg of bw.
Fetus: 125 ml/kg bw.
measurment of blood volume
Direct: Welcker’s method
- Bleeding the animal, washing out the vessels, extracting Hb still in the tissues = 7.7%
Indirect: indicator-dilution principle
normovolemia
hypovolemia
hypervolemia
Normovolemia: 5.5l
Hypovolemia:
1. Proportional: equivalent loss of plasma and blood cells.
2. Disproportional:
- Hemoconcentration: loss of plasma, not blood cells.
o Dehydration: Sweating, diarrhea, vomiting.
- Hemodilution: (decrease Ht value): loss of blood cells, not plasma.
o Bleeding: loss of plasma + ery - more rapid replacement of plasma than ery.
o Anemia: lower amount of RBC, same amount of plasma.
Hypervolemia:
- Drinking enormous amount of water.
- Excessive transfusion
specific gravity and values
Specific gravity: ratio of density of a substance to the density of a reference substance (H2O)
Water: 1000kg/m3
Blood: 1056 kg/m3
- Plasma: 1027 kg/m3
- RBC: 1090 kg/m3
Newborns have higher SG - have higher amount of RBC.
hemotocrit and values
Hematocrit: % of RBC in the blood.
Determined by centrifuging blood in hematocrit tubes until the cells become packed tightly in the bottom of the tubes.
- Males: 44 +/- 5%
o Testosterone stimulates RBC production.
- Females: 39 +/- 4%
- Newborns: 50-60%
o Intrauterine development is rather hypoxic - need more carriers for oxygen.
hyperviscosity and symptons
Hyperviscosity:
- Increased hematocrit causes increased viscosity.
o Increase in circulating RBCs
o Decreased blood volume (dehydration) - nurse asks you to drink before blood taking
- Ery derformability - high flexability causes low viscosity (young have higher fleixibility than old)
- Ery aggregation: tendency of RBC to attract each other and stick together.
Symptoms: impaired transit through the microcirculatory system.
- Hypoxia: O2 and nutrients don’t arrive to tissue.
- Bleeding
- Vision defects.
- Neurological manifestations.
RBC dia, thickness, and volume
Mean diameter: 7.2m +/-0.5
Thickness: 2.1m +/- 0.5
Average volume: 10-15 l.
compostion of RBC
Structure: non-nucleated with biconcave disc.
- Water + dry substance
- Membrane, skeleton, hemoglobin.
Shape makes the surface larger for oxygen diffusion.
RBC membrane: lipid bilayer
Membrane lipids = 3 types
- Phospholipids
- Cholesterol (45%)
- Glycolipids (5%)
Membrane proteins
- Spectrin, actin
- Ankyrin (fixation of the cytoskelet)on
Other substances in RBC
- Intracellular ions: K+, Na+, CA2+
- Eynzymes: Carbonanhydrase (buffer system)
- ATPase, protein kinases, cAMP, AA, glutathione
- Hemoglobin.
