Osmolality The concentration of solutes in a solution. ↑ Solutes =
Dehydration; ↓ Solutes = Fluid overload.
Intercellular space The space inside a cell.
Extracellular space The space outside the cell; includes interstitial and
intravascular areas.
, Interstitial space Fluid-filled area between cells (part of the
extracellular compartment).
Intravascular space Fluid within blood vessels and heart chambers.
Osmosis Movement of water across a membrane from low
solute to high solute concentration.
Diffusion Movement of solutes from high to low concentration.
Active transport Movement of substances across a membrane using
energy (ATP).
Tonicity A solution's ability to move water into or out of a cell
(isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic).
Dehydration Water loss without sodium loss. Fluid becomes more
concentrated.
Hypovolemia Decrease in blood volume due to fluid or blood loss.
Isotonic solution Same solute concentration as cells → no fluid
movement.
Hypotonic solution Fewer solutes than cells → water moves into cells.
Hypertonic solution More solutes than cells → water moves out of cells.
What do electrolytes do? Maintain water balance, acid-base balance, support
muscles/nerves/heart/brain.
BMP (Basic Metabolic Panel) Tests electrolytes, glucose, kidney function (BUN,
creatinine).
CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Includes BMP + liver enzymes, protein, metabolism
Panel) info.
