Q

How does urine output change in different conditions?

A

changes to offset differences in sweat/feces/lung/etc in order to maintain water balance

18
Q

What is the definition of osmotic pressure?

A

pressure needed to offset fluid movement based on osmosis

19
Q

What characteristics make a certain particle an osmotic particle?

A
  1. solute needs to be dissolved [can’t be suspended]

2. has to be trapped on one side of a membrane

20
Q

Does size or number of particles matter in osmotic pressure?

A

number of particles, not size

21
Q

How many mmHg is 1 mOsm/L?

22
Q

3 principles of water shift between body fluid compartments

A
  1. volume of compartment is determine by amount of solute it has
  2. water follows salt
  3. the body does not tolerate osmotic imbalances
23
Q

Do NaCl/NaHCO3 stay extracellular or go into cell when you add them in solution intravenously?

A

Stay extracellular

24
Q

Does K stay extracellular or go into cell when you add it in solution intravenously?

A

goes into cell

25
Does glucose stay extracellular or go into cell when you add it in solution intravenously?
goes into cell
26
What is concentration NaCl in normal saline?
0.9% NaCl
27
Where does Na go when you inject intravenously with normal saline?
- Na goes to vascular and interstitial spaces | - Na does not get taken up into cell
28
Where does water go when you inject intravenously with normal saline?
Distributes with salt to extracellular [vascular + interstitial]
29
Does intravenous normal saline change osmolality of system?
- no, because its isotonic to plasma
30
Do volume/osmolality change in/out of cell when you inject with intravenous normal saline?
extracellular: no change osmolality, increase volume intracellular: no change osmolality or volume
31
Where does Na go when you have high NaCl intake?
- goes to GI and then taken up by blood stream - distributes to extracellular volume - does not get into cell
32
How does high NaCl intake change osmolarity of extracellular fluid?
- increases extracellular concentration
33
Where does water go in high NaCl intake?
- water goes with salt into blood and interstitial | - water driven out of cell and into intracellular space to balance
34
Does high NaCl intake change osmolarity?
- will increase inside and outside of cell | - get equilibrium of osmolarity in/out of cell but both slightly elevated compared to normal
35
What happens to BP if you add fluid intravenously?
- BP determined by volume in vasculature | - if you inject any fluid intravenously, BP will go up and push fluid into interstitium
36
What kind of fluid are you losing in diarrhea?
isotonic
37
What kind of fluid is secreted in normal digestive process?
isotonic
38
what kind of fluid is saliva?
hypotonic
39
Does osmolarity change in diarrhea?
Nope!
40
In diarrhea is there a driving force to move fluid between intra and extracellular?
Nope!
41
What are two pathways of trans-epithelial transport?
1. trans-cellular: through cells | 2. paracellular: between cells
42
How is water transported from apical to basal surface?
- can transfer through or between cells
43
What proteins are required for trans-cellular water transfer?
aquaporins [water channels]
44
What is solvent drag? Where does it occur?
- driving force for water movement causes solvents and RBCS and anything in it to move with it - occurs in capillary
