1. Intracellular Compartment Rich in potassium, mag-
nesium, and organic/in-
organic phosphates
Low in sodium and chlo-
ride
2. Extracellular Compartment Vascular (rich in protein)
Interstitial (protein defi-
cient)
Transcelluar (rich in sodi-
um, chloride, and bicarb)
(Low in potassium, mag-
nesium, phosphate)
3. transcellular fluid The fluid that is con-
tained within specialized
body compartments such
as cerebrospinal, pleural,
and synovial cavities
Secreted by epithelial cells
4. thirst mechanism Increased osmolarity or
extracellular fluid
Decreased in older adults
Decreased circulating
blood volume (blood
loss)
Dryness of mucous mem-
branes in mouth (elderly)
5. What organ systems must be healthy to absorb fluids Kidneys
and electrolytes?

6. Osmotic pressure exerted by proteins oncotic pressure
Cirrhosis patients
low albumin
7. The increase in urine output caused by the excretion Osmotic diuresis
of substances, such as glucose, mannitol, or contrast
agents in the urine.
8. outward push of vascular fluid against capillary walls Capillary hydrostatic pres-
sure
9. Inward pulling force of particles (proteins) in the inter- Intersitial fluid colloid/on-
stitial fluid cotic osmotic pressure
10. Diffusion is higher to lower
11. Osmosis is lower to higher
12. Only ______ moves freely, not electrolytes water
13. Normal ways of loosing fluid Sweating
urinating
Bowel movements
breathing
14. You need a good BP to perfuse the kidneys
25% of perfusion
15. ADH Released by BP, HTN, and
exercise
Free water hormone

Reabsoprtion of water by
the renal collecting ducts
and dilutes the blood and
other body fluids
16. Aldosterone Salt water hormone
Causes the renal tubules
to reabsorb sodium and
water, which expands the
extracellular fluid volume
17. What organ systems need to be healthy to maintain
fluid homeostasis?
18. Abnormal fluid excretions Wounds
Hemorrhage
trauma
burns
vomiting
Paracentesis
GI tubes
19. Geriatric considerations message mechanism isn't
working
Inability to swallow
Misuse of medications
filtration rate is lower
20. If your sodium is normal, it is fluid volume deficit
21. ECV deficit is caused by removal of a salt containing fluid from
volume
