Water Flashcards
How can inter-individual variations in body water content be expained?
Explain how to measure total body water using a tracer method
Describe the distribution of body water content
What are the sources of fluid intake?
What are the sources of water loss?
Well trained athletes can lose up to…per hour
Explain the difference between dehydration vs hyphohydration
Why does euhydration fluctuate throughout the day?
Do you lose or gain more water throughout the day?
Define euhydration
Compare measuring plasma and urine osmolality
Explain how plasma osmolaity is regulated
Why are baroreceptors less sensitive than osmoreceptors?
Compare renal excretion vs thirst for regulation hydration
Compare sweat and plasma electrolyte concentration
Compare ICF potassium concentrations to ECF potassium
Why it is important than sweat has a lower concentrate of electrolytes for the fluid regulatory response?
How can we optimise rehydration?
Describe the stages in the rehydration process
How does the rate of drinking impact the amount of urine produced?
What strategies do we have to optimise rehydration?
Which two ways can you increase drink retention?
What is the current consensus on hydration?
What are the two types of hypohydration?
