Fluid and Electrolyte Balance Correct Answer.-the process of regulating
the ECF volume, body fluid osmolality, and plasma concentrations of
electrolytes
Fluid Balance Correct Answer.-regulation of body's fluid compartments to
maintain a stable internal environment
Fluid affects essential functions: Correct Answer.-cellular metabolism
temp regulation
delivery of O2 and nutrients to the cells
Body fluids exist both inside and outside the cell as ... Correct Answer.-
intracellular fluid (67%) and extracellular fluid (33%)
Extracellular fluids groups Correct Answer.-intravascular space
interstitial space
transcellular space
Fluids found throughout the body are composed of ... Correct Answer.-
water and solutes
Water is responsible for the ... Correct Answer.-transport of molecules
throughout the body and it also acts as the body's major solvent
,Total Body Water (TBW) Correct Answer.-over half of an adult's body
weight and volume is water
TBW accounts for almost ... Correct Answer.-60% of a healthy adult's
body weight
(is influenced by factors such as age, gender, + overall health)
Functions of water in the body Correct Answer.-regulation of body temp
lubrication of joints
shock absorption for internal organs
transport of nutrients + wastes
metabolic reactions inside of cells
Solvent Correct Answer.-any liquid in which another substance can be
dissolved
Solutes Correct Answer.-particles that completely or partially dissolve in a
solvent and can be classified as either crystalloid or colloid
Small Solutes Correct Answer.-easily cross cell membrane
intracellular and extracellular
*Includes gases such as O2 and CO2, glucose, and electrolytes
, Large Solutes Correct Answer.-can't easily cross cell membrane
extracellular
*Includes plasma proteins, blood components like RBCs, platelets, and
WBCs
Fluid is in constant motion through ... Correct Answer.-osmosis and
filtration
Filtration Correct Answer.-movement of fluid driven by forces of oncotic
pressure and hydrostatic pressure
*water and solutes move from an area of higher net pressure to lower net
pressure
Osmosis Correct Answer.-diffusion of fluid across semipermeable
membrane from lower solute concentration (osmolality) to higher
osmolality until both sides are equalized
Osmolality Correct Answer.-the concentration of solutes in body fluids
Osmotic Pressure Correct Answer.-force that is exerted on either side of a
selectively permeable membrane
Types of pressure related to movement of body fluids Correct Answer.-
osmotic pressure, oncotic pressure (colloid osmotic pressure), and
hydrostatic pressure
