Notes + Study Questions of Fluid & Electrolytes Flashcards
2/3 of body fluid is
intracellular fluid
1/3 of body fluid is
extracellular fluid
what are some examples of interstitial fluid
lymph, CSF, GI fluids, synovial fluid
what membrane separates the intracellular fluid and interstitial fluid
plasma membranes
what membrane separates the interstitial fluid and blood plasma
blood vessel walls
what are the ways that fluids move between cells and what is the main way
filtration
reabsorption
diffusion
osmosis (main way)
what are the normal ways of fluid intake
ingestion of liquids and moist foods and metabolic synthesis of water during cellular respiration and dehydration synthesis
what are the normal ways of fluid output
kidneys, exhalation from lungs, evaporation from skin, feces
metabolic water volume depends on
level of aerobic cellular respiration
what is the main way to regulate body water balance
adjusting volume of water intake
what is dehydration
water loss is greater than water gain
what are the 4 hormones that regulate urine production
ADH, ANP, angiotensin II, aldosterone
what is water intoxication
water consumption is greater than the amount of kidney excretion
what are the 4 general functions of electrolytes
1) control osmosis of water
2) maintain acid-base balance
3) electrical current
4) cofactors of enzymes
what is the most abundant extracellular ion
Na+
what is sodium involved in
impulse transmission, muscle contraction, and fluid + electrolyte balance
the blood level of sodium is controlled by what 3 hormones
aldosterone, ADH, ANP
what is edema
excess sodium
what is the most extracellular anion
chloride
chloride is involved in what functions
regulation osmotic pressure, formingHCl in the stomach
