Vascular Access Flashcards
What percent of intracellular water is found in the cells?
65%
Red blood cell volume is = ____%
14 %
Plasma volume is approximately ___
2-3 liters
Extracellular water found in the interstitial spaces is ____%.
35 %
Count of the total number of particles in a solution is equal to the sum of the molalities of all the solutes present in the solution
osmolality
(osmole / kg)
The concentration of osmotic solution per liter of fluid.
Osmolarity
Ions produce osmotic pressures across cell membranes but not _______ membranes
capillary
Normal plasma osmolality is = _____ mOsm/L
285 mOsm/L
A form of osmotic pressure exerted by proteins in a blood vessel’s plasma (blood/liquid) that usually tends to pull water into the circulatory system. It is the opposing force to hydrostatic pressure.
Oncotic pressure
Normal oncotic pressure is _____ mmHg.
28 mmHg
Frequently used in place of osmotic pressure or tension is related to the number of non-penetrating particles found in solution
tonicity
Of equal tension. Denoting a solution having the same tonicity as another solution with which it is compared.
Isotonic
Having a higher concentration of solute particles per unit volume than a comparison solution, regardless of kinds ofparticles. A solution in which cells shrink due to efflux of water.
Hypertonic
Having a lower concentration of solute particules per unit volume than a comparison solution, regardless of kinds of particles. A solution in which cells expand due to influx of water.
Hypotonic
