Weeks 4-6 Flashcards
Osmotic Pressure
no energy, power of solution to draw H2O through selectively permeable barrier - higher conc = higher osmotic pressure
Filtration Pressure
no energy, pressure in compartment that results in movement of fluids / solutes, made up of hydrostatic and oncotic pressure
Hydrostatic Pressure
pressure exerted by fluid within a closed system on the wall of a container (push)
Oncotic Pressure
by proteins (pull) albumin
isotonic
same osmolality as body fluid
hypertonic
higher osmolality (lucozade)
hypotonic
lower osmolality (powerade)
hypovolemia
low extracellular fluid
hypervolemia
fluid overload
dehydration
water loss w/o electrolyte loss
Elecrtolyte
dissociate in water to form ions
Sodium (where, function, effects of low)
ECF, water balance, transmission of nerve impulses, neurological
Potassium (where, function, effects of low)
ICF, electrical conduction of nerve impulses (cardiac), cell metabolism, cardiac issues
Calcium ( function, effects of low)
muscle contractions, blood clotting
Phosphate (functions)
forms bones / teeth, metabolises carbs / proteins / fat, cellular metabolism, muscle / nerve / RBC function, acid base balance, regulates Ca levels
