normal physiology of fluid and electrolytes - coRRect ANsweR-maintenance of homeostasis
water content varies with _______, __________, and ________ content - coRRect ANsweR-
age, gender, fat
fluid compartments - coRRect ANsweR-intracellular fluid, extracellular fluid (interstitial,
intravascular (plasma) and transcellular)
transcellular - coRRect ANsweR-in enclosed spaces, should maintain consistent amount, ex:
CSF, synovial, pleural fluid
cations - coRRect ANsweR-positively charged
anions - coRRect ANsweR-negatively charged
electrolytes - coRRect ANsweR-substance whose molecules dissociate into ions when
placed into water
ICF prevalent cation - coRRect ANsweR-K+
ICF prevalent anion - coRRect ANsweR-PO4^3-
ECF prevalent cation - coRRect ANsweR-Na+
, ECF prevalent anion - coRRect ANsweR-Cl-
simple diffusion - coRRect ANsweR-movement of molecules from high to low concentration
facilitated diffusion - coRRect ANsweR-uses carrier to move molecules
active transport and example - coRRect ANsweR-process in which molecules move against
concentration gradient
Na/K pump
osmosis - coRRect ANsweR-movement of water against concentration gradient; occurs to
establish equilibrium
osmotic pressure - coRRect ANsweR-amount of pressure required to stop osmotic flow of
water; determined by concentration of solutes in solution
fluid tonicity - coRRect ANsweR-isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic
hydrostatic pressure - coRRect ANsweR-blood pressure generated by heart concentraion
oncotic pressure - coRRect ANsweR-osmotic pressure caused by plasma proteins
the amount of fluid movement and the direction of movement in capillaries is determined by
- coRRect ANsweR-capillary hydrostatic pressure, plasma oncotic pressure, interstitial
hydrostatic pressure, and interstitial oncotic pressure
plasma to _________________ fluid shift results in edema - coRRect ANsweR-insterstitial
