Inteacellular Fluid makes up what percent of the compartment - (answer)40%
Interstitial fluid makes up what percent of the compartment - (answer)15%
Plasma (intricacies fluid) makes up what percent of the compartment - (answer)4%
Extracellular fluid makes up what percent of the compartment - (answer)20%
What percent of the bodies fluid are intracellular? What part of the bodies fluid are
extracellular - (answer)Two-thirds are intracellular
One-third are extracellular
What makes up extracellular fluids - (answer)Interstitial (outside the cells and the
vascular system)
,Intravascular (within blood vessels)
And other compartments (cerebrospinal areas)
Break down of bodies fluid balance - (answer)Body weight (60 kg) x 0.6 -> total
body water 36L -> 2/3 intracellular fluid 24 L /(cell membrane)/ 1/3 extracellular
fluid 12 L -> extracellular fluid breakdowns too -> 3/4 interstitial fluid 9L /
(capillary wall)/ 1/4 Plasma 3L
Hydrostatic pressure - (answer)Pressure exerted to push fluid from one
compartment to another
Osmotic pressure - (answer)Draws fluid from an area of higher concentration to
one of lower concentration. Osmolarity is a value used to describe the
concentration with fluid:
How do osmotic pressure and hydrostatic pressure work in the vascular system? -
(answer)They work opposite of each other to control the movement of fluid
,between the blood and interstitial areas. ^HP causes fluid move out and ^OP draws
fluid back in
Hyperosmolar state - (answer)Sodium High and Water loss
Leads to dehydration
Conserve water + increase the secretion of sodium= lower urine volume with
higher urine concentration
size of ECFV should increase to return the serum osmolarity to normal
Hypoosmolar state - (answer)Excess water but low sodium
Fluid overload
Increase sodium conservation + increase water excretion= higher urine volume
with Lower urine concentration
Size of ECFV decreases to return the serum osmolarity to normal
Electrolytes are - (answer)Used by the body to adjust fluid levels
, How is BP regulated - (answer)By receptors throughout the body that sends signals
to autonomic nervous system to constrict or dilate blood vessels depending on the
fluid imbalance
How do proteins maintains fluid imbalance - (answer)By attracting additional
water to increase fluid balance
Low protein levels can cause movement of fluid into interstitial areas causing
edema
How do hormones affect fluid imbalances - (answer)They attract fluid or control
the pressure of the vascular system
Hormones used to increase or decrease fluid levels in the body -
(answer)Antidiuretic hormone: signals the kidneys to promote the reabsorption of
water
Aldosterone: signals the kidneys for reabsorption of sodium ions and water
atrial natriuretic peptide and B-type natriuretic peptide are secreted by the heart to
assist with fluid levels maintained
