Fluid in each of the body compartments contains?
Electrolytes
To have normal body function ____________
the bodies cells must have fluids and electroytles in the right compartment
intracellular fluid
Fluid inside cells; majority of fluids are inside cell
,2|Page
extracellular fluid
body fluids located outside of cells
Third-spacing
the accumulation and sequestration of trapped extracellular fluid in an actual or potential body space as
a result of disease or injury
Edema
Abnormal accumulation of fluid in interstitial spaces of tissues.
Occurs as a result of conditions such as cardiac, renal or liver disease
Body Fluids
Transport nutrients to the cell and then carry waste products from the cells
isotonic Solution
A solution whose solute concentration is EQUAL to the solute concentration inside a cell
Hypotonic solution
Solute concentration is less than that inside the cell; cell gains water (SWELLS)
Hypertonic Solution
Solute concentration is greater than that inside the cell; cell loses water (SHRINKS)
Insensible water loss
the loss of water not noticeable by a person, such as through evaporation from the skin and exhalation
from the lungs during breathing
