1. Isotonic when the concentration of two solutions is the same

2. Hypovolemic/ hy- Less fluid, more patricles
pertonic

3. Hypervolemic hy- More fluid, less particles
potonic

4. Osmosis The movement of water molecules from a less concentrated area to a more
concentrated area in an attempt to equalize the concentration of solutions on two
sides of the membrane

5. Filtration Fluid and solutes move together across a membrane from an area of higher
pressure to an area of lower pressure.

6. Diffusion The movement of molecules through a semi permeable membrane from an area
of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

7. Inteacellular Flu- With in cells
id 2/3 of total body fluid

8. extracellular fluid Outside of cell
1/3 of total body fluids
Intravascular or interstitial

9. intravascular flu- blood plasma

17. Kidneys Primary regulator of body fluids and electrolyte balance.
Controls reabsorption of water and excretion as urine.

18. antidiuretic hor- Regulates water excretion from the kidneys.
mone (ADH) stim- When serum osmolality rises, ADH increases permeability of ducts to allow more
ulated water to be absorbed into the blood stream thus diluting body fluids.

19. Antiduretic hor- When serum osmolality decreases, ADH Is suppressed and ducts become less
mone (ADH) in- permeable and water excretion increases thus osmolality can return to balance.
