TEST 6 Flashcards
What are the stages of NREM sleep?
N1 - Light sleep - muscle tone present and breathing regular (1-5mins)
N2 - Deeper sleep - HR and temp drop (25 mins in first cycle and lengthens with each cycle) **Teeth grinding occurs
N3 - Deepest NREM sleep - not easily awoken. Body repairs and regrows tissues, builds bone, muscle and strengthen immune system.
*Sleep walking, night terrors and bedwetting
What happens during REM sleep?
Assoc with dreaming, not considered a restful sleep stage. Skeletal muscles are atonic & without movement. Breathing becomes erratic and irregular. Usually last 90 mins….First period lasts 10 min and adds up
What are the 4 functions of sleep?
-Physiological and psychological restorations
-Preserves cardiac function
-Release of Human growth hormone
-Brain restoration

What are the functions of body fluids?
-Transports nutrients, hormones, enzymes, blood
-Cellular metabolism and chemical functioning
-Solvent for electrolytes and non-electrolytes
-Maintains body temp
-Digestions and promotes elimination
-Tissue lubricant
Where is most water in the body found?
inside the cell

50-60%
How much fluid is inside and outside the cell?
Intracellular fluid - 70%
Extracellular fluid - 30%
What are solvents & solutes?
Solvents - liquids that hold a substance in a solution
Solutes - substances dissolved in a solation
What are electrolytes?
Charged substance used to conduct electrical impulses across cells//Important for normal body function
Cations are what kind of charge?

What is the main function of sodium?
Controls and regulates volume of body fluids
What is the main function of potassium?
Cheif regulator of cellular enzyme activity and water content
What is the main function of calcium?
Nerve impulse, blood clotting, muscle contraction, B12 absorption
What is the main function of Magnesium?
Metabolism of carbs and proteins, vital actions involving enzymes
What is the main action of chloride?
Maintains osmotic pressure in blood, produces hydrochloric acid
What is the main actions of phosphate?
Involved in important chemical reactions in the body, cell division and hereditary traits

What are the 4 processes by which fluid and solutes move across membranes?
Osmosis -water
Diffusion - higher to lower
Filtration - pressure
Active transport - requires energy/ lower to higher
What is isotonic
hypertonic
hypotonic
Isotonic - same concentration of particles as plasma - NS(0.9% sodium chloride)
Hypertonic - <concentration of particles than plasma
Hypotonic - >concentration of particles than plasma
