U5 Other body fluids Flashcards
Fluids enclosed within a cavity that is lined with a membrane
Serous fluids
3 serous fluids
Pericardial fluid
pleural fluid
peritoneal fluid
The serous membranes are covered by
Mesothelial cells
The membrane that lines the serous cavity
Parietal membrane
The inner membrane that covers the organ inside the cavity
Visceral membrane
Other term for peritoneal fluid
Ascites
Major contributor to the formation of serous fluids
Ultrafiltration of plasma through the parietal membrane
Function of the serous fluids
Lubricant between the membranes allows free movement of the organs
Four factors regulating the formation of serous fluid
Increased permeability of the capillaries
increased hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries
decreased oncotic pressure within the capillaries
impaired absorption by the lymphatic system
Term for fluid buildup in the serous cavities
Effusion
Term for effusion in the peritoneal cavity
ascitis
Transudate or exudate:
Caused by non inflammatory processes
Transudate
Transudate or exudate:
Caused by inflammatory processes
Exudate
Transudate or exudate:
Clear pale yellow or yellow
Transudate
Transudate or exudate:
Cloudy with variable color and sheen appearance
Exudate
Transudate or exudate:
Viscosity similar to serum
Transudate
Transudate or exudate:
Higher viscosity than serum
Exudate
This is the cause of higher viscosity of exudate than transudate
