Interstitial- surrounds ALL cells - CORRECT ANSWERS which fluid compartment surrounds the
cells?
intra
extra
interstitial
third spacing - CORRECT ANSWERS four fluid compartments
diffusion
osmosis
facilitated transport
active transport - CORRECT ANSWERS which are the transport mechanisms? (4)
hydrostatic - CORRECT ANSWERS which pressure pushes water from the capillaries into the ICF
and ISF?
hydrostatic pressure - CORRECT ANSWERS symbolizes the pushing outward force of
__________ _________ pushing water from ECF (capillaryD) into ICF
osmotic pressure - CORRECT ANSWERS pulling force of _____ ______ created by solutes
(albumin), which favors fluid movement from the ICF into the ECF (capillary)
,thirst and release of ADH (prevents you from making urine) - CORRECT ANSWERS when there
is a concentrated serum osmolality which mechanisms cause a person to reestablish homeostasis?
osmolality - CORRECT ANSWERS -the number of osmoses of solute per kilo of solvent
-weight
Osmolarity - CORRECT ANSWERS -number of osmoses of solute per liter of solution
-dependent on the number of particles (solute) in the solution
tonicity - CORRECT ANSWERS refers to the amount of solutes in a solution/ Likes to pull fluid
towards it
isotonic
hypotonic
hypertonic - CORRECT ANSWERS what are the main types of tonicity of clouds patients receive
IV
isotonic - CORRECT ANSWERS
hypotonic - CORRECT ANSWERS
hypertonic - CORRECT ANSWERS
Renin- Angiotension- Aldosterone System (RAAS) - CORRECT ANSWERS a compensatory
mechanism used to replenish blood volume and raise BP
an excess of fluid in the ISF - CORRECT ANSWERS which best explains edema?
, edema: pitting - CORRECT ANSWERS what is being shown?
low albumin in the ECF (vascular system) - CORRECT ANSWERS which best explains the
accumulation of fluid in the abdomen (peritoneal cavity) in a person who is starving?
albumin - CORRECT ANSWERS pulls water towards vascular bed (poor children in 3rd world
country with big bellies but starving)
colloid - CORRECT ANSWERS bigger molecules/ fats and proteins
*ALWAYS HYPERTONIC*
hypoalbuminemia - CORRECT ANSWERS can lead to vascular depletion and edema
third spacing - CORRECT ANSWERS space outside of vascular system (fluid filled) (interstitial
space)
dependent edema (excess fluid volume) - CORRECT ANSWERS standing too long
protein starvation - CORRECT ANSWERS fluid chooses abdomen because it just settles there
fluid volume deficit- Dehydration - CORRECT ANSWERS -state of diminished volume in body
-deficit of intracellular fluid, which causes body cells to shrink
-decreased amount of water in ECF
sodium - CORRECT ANSWERS -normal values: 135-145 meq/L
-main extracellular ion
