M4: Serous Fluids (Part 1: Intro to Transudates and Exudates) Flashcards
What are fluids within closed cavities of the body?
pleural, pericardial, peritoneal
These are seen in the cavity (space) in between of parietal and visceral membrane
Serous fluid
Serous fluid are seen in the cavity in between what (2) membranes?
Parietal and Visceral membrane
Serous fluid within 2 membranes
lines the cavity wall (outer wall)
Parietal membrane
Serous fluid within 2 membranes
covers the organ (inner wall)
Visceral membrane
- These provide lubrication
- Reduces friction & abrasion
- Ultrafiltrates of plasma
- Affected by hydrostatic and colloid pressure
Serous fluids
These are ultrafiltrates of plasma
Serous fluids
Whenever serous fluids is extracted, what procedure must be done?
blood collection
Serous fluids
T or F
After blood collection and serous fluid are collected, comparison of plasma and serous fluid will occur
T
Serous fluids
What are the (2) factors affected by hydrostatic and colloid pressure
- Production of volume
- Reabsorption
Serous fluids
increase fluid between membranes
Effusion
Specimen Collection and Handling
3 ways of aspiration
- Thoracentesis
- Pericardiocentesis
- Paracentesis
Specimen Collection and Handling
Serous fluid in lungs
