Water/fluid Flashcards
Body Water Content:
Infants are ()% or more water (low body (), low bone ())
Adult males: ~()% water
Adult females: ~()% water
Higher () content, less skeletal muscle mass (typically)
() tissue is least hydrated of all
Water content declines to ~45% in old age

Two main fluid compartments
() fluid (ICF): fluid inside cells
(/) of total body fluid
() fluid (ECF): fluid outside cells
() of total body fluid
() (Intravascular)
() fluid (IF): In spaces between cells
-Lymph, CSF, Eye humor (fluids), synovial fluid, serous fluid, and gastrointestinal secretions

() is the universal solvent
() are substances dissolved in ()
Water
Solutes,water
() are classified as () and ()
Solutes
non-electrolytes
electrolytes
Non-electrolytes: most are () molecules
Do not dissociate in water (hint 6)
organic
Glucose, Proteins & Amino acids, lipids, creatinine, and urea (waste)
electrolytes:
Dissociate into () in water
Inorganic salts, all acids and bases, some proteins
Ions conduct electrical current
(/) power than non-electrolytes
Water moves to the area with (/) (electrolyte) concentration
NaCl -> Na+ + Cl-
KCl -> K+ + Cl-
ions
Greater osmotic
greater solute
