M1: Water and Sodium Flashcards
Total body water volume is ____________
40L, 60%
○ Intracellular fluid volume is ________________
25L, 40%
Extracellular fluid volume = _____________
15L, 20%
■ Interstitial fluid volume = ______________
12L, 80% of ECF
Plasma volume = ________________
3L, 20% of ECF
● This refers to the water outside our
cells but within our tissues
Interstitial fluid volume
○ Major extracellular cation
● Sodium (Na+)
○ Major extracellular anion
● Chloride (Cl-)
○ Major intracellular cation
● Potassium (K+)
○ Major intracellular anion
● Phosphate (PO4)
● Requires energy to move ions across cellular membranes
active transport
● Molecules move against the concentration gradient
active transport
● Passive movement of ions across a membrane
diffusion
● Molecules move along the concentration gradient
diffusion
The molecule will pass directly in the cell membrane or it will
pass through a channel protein
Simple Diffusion
The molecule will make use of a carrier protein to be eliminated outside the cell or to enter the cell
Facilitated Diffusion
● The only difference of facilitated diffusion to the active transport is that it doesn’t use/require energy
Facilitated Diffusion
physical property of a solution that is based on the concentration of solutes (expressed as millimoles) per kilogram of solvent (w/w)
osmolality
___________is more accurate and stable
osmolality
■ Release of renin and angiotensinogen is
triggered by _________________
low plasma osmolality
○ Concentration of solutes per liter of solvent (w/v)
Osmolarity
In the hospital setting, we use _________
since materials are in liters or millimeters
compared to grams or kilograms
osmolarity
● Normal plasma osmolality
○ 275 – 295 mOsm/kg of plasma H2O
○ osmoreceptors respond to small changes
and ○ regulated by AVP/ADH and thirst
● Normal plasma osmolality
increase plasma osmolality will lead to __________
increased ADH or (antidiuretic
hormone or arginine vasopressin)
decrease plasma osmolality will lead to ___________
shuts off ADH production
○ excess water intake»_space;> ________________
lower plasma osmolality
○ less/no water intake»_space;> _____________
high plasma osmolality
● Water Load will lead to high or low plasma osmolality?
low plasma osmolality
● Water deficit will lead to high or low plasma osmolality?
high plasma osmolality
In water load:
__________ and ____________ are suppressed
■ AVP and thirst mechanisms are suppressed
In water deficit:
■__________ and _______________ are activated
AVP and thirst are activated
water load: ● Water is ____________
not reabsorbed
Water Deficit: ● Water is _____________
reabsorbed
○ Dilute urine - _____________
low specific gravity
Water deficit:
○ _____________urine
Concentrated urine
○ Activated by low plasma volume and high osmolality
● Thirst Mechanism
■ One cause of hypervolemia is
