Lecture 1 Flashcards
Cause of Disease and Pathology
errors exceed ability of control system to adjust
Full Compensation
body doing all it can to return to normal function
Pathologic Potassium
2.5- 6 mEq/L
too much or too little can kill
Intracellular Fluid
2/3 of TBW
fluid inside all cells of body
allows all solutes to be dissolved in same medium- allows metabolic rxns to occur
Extracellular Fluid
1/3 of TBW
fluid outside of cells
splits into interstitial fluid and plasma by capillary walls
ICF Composition
mostly potassium and proteins
ECF Composition
mostly sodium and chloride
Plasma Composition
mostly sodium and chloride
some protein
Interstitial Fluid Composition
mostly sodium and chloride
no proteins
K+ Gradient
communication
Na+ Gradient
absorption of nutrients
Ca2+
muscle movement
Capillary Membrane
not selective
filters based on size
Cell Membrane
only small, non-polar solutes pass thru
O2, CO2, ethanol, steroids, water
Channels
Hole in membrane for specific solutes
