IRAT 3 Flashcards
movement of water across membrane in response to a solute concentration gradient
osmosis
characteristics of a solute
-nonpenetrating
-osmotically active
these 2 things guarantee osmosis will occur
osmotically active
solute can draw water - make it move
- molecule has charge/residues
osmolarity
g/v unit of concentration of solute
- concentration of osmotically active ions
is osmolarity static or no?
yes
tonicity
fluid thing, water is moving or moved or is about to move
iso-osmotic
have same number of particles
same osmolarity
what can you conclude from 2 fluid bags from different countries but both 360 mOsm/L
iso-osmotic
what can you conclude from 2 fluid bags - one is 300mOsm/L and another 360mOsm/L
the 300mOsm/L is hyposmotic to the 360 and the 360 is hyperosmotic to the 300
normal human cells have an osmolarity of…
300
osmolarity of 5% Dextrose
260 mOsm/L
osmolarity of 0.9% NaCl
300mOsm/L
osmolarity of 10% Dextrose
520mOsm/L
osmolarity D5NS
560 mOsm/L
total body water is a ratio of what
ICF to ECF
2/3 TBW =
ICF
1/3 TBW
ECF
ICF
cations K+ and Mg2+
anions = proteins and organic phosphates
ECF
interstitial fluid and plasma
major cation = Na+
major anions = HCO3 and Cl
