BIOS256 OL, Week 5 Lab
Name:
OL Lab 5: Fluid balance, acid base balance and water balance
Learning Objectives:
• Identify the functions and the location of the major fluid compartments of the body.
• Explain the regulation of water balance to maintain homeostasis.
• Identify the proportions of electrolytes found in the plasma, interstitial fluid,
and intracellular fluid compartments of the body and state their functions.
• Describe the major electrolytes in the body and state their role in electrolyte balance.
• Identify the different pH ranges in the body and understand the compensatory
mechanism involved to maintain acid-base balance.
Part 1:
1.1 Complete the chart to locate major fluid compartments of the body and state their functions.
(5 points)
Compartments Function
, BIOS256 OL, Week 5 Lab
Name:
A Solids Consist of proteins, lipids, carbs,
minerals essential for the body.
45% tbm while 55% is fluid in
females. 40% tbm while 60% is
fluid in males
B Intracellular Fluid Fluid within the cell. It counts for
2/3 of the bodies fluids. 67% of
the total body fluids.
C Interstitial fluid Bathes the cell of the body and
makes up about 80% of
extracellular fluids.
D Extracellular Fluid Accounts for the remaining 1/3 of
total body fluids. Blood plasma,
1.2 and interstitial fluid.
E Blood Plasma Found in blood vessels. A clear
yellow fluid containing dissolved
organic/inorganic molecules.
Accounts for 20% total
extracellular fluid.
Identify the physiological stimulus and responses that regulate water balance in the body.
