ANSWERS

Intracellular Fluid - correct answer✔✔fluid within the cells. Contains about two ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




thirds of the water in healthy adults. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




extracellular fluid - correct answer✔✔fluid outside of the cells including those ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




in the interstitial or tissue spaces and the plasma in the blood vessels.
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Electrolytes - correct answer✔✔Substances that dissociate in a solution to form ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




a charged particle
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Ions - correct answer✔✔are the charged particles,
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Example: NaCl ||\\||\\




Nonelectrolytes - correct answer✔✔substances that do not dissociate into ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




charged particles, e.g. glucose, ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Normal capillary- interstitial fluid exchange - correct answer✔✔The transfer of
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




water between the vascular and interstitial compartments occurs at the capillary
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




level. There are four main forces that control the movement of water between
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




the capillary and interstitial spaces:
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




1. capillary filtration pressure
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




2. capillary colloidal osmotic pressure
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




3. interstitial/tissue hydrostatic pressure
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




4. interstitial colloidal osmotic pressure
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\

,-normally the combination of these four forces is such as that only a small ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




excess of fluid remains in the interstitial compartment. This excess fluid is
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




removed from the interstitial by the lymphatic system and returned to the ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




systematic circulation. ||\\||\\




Capillary filtration pressure - correct answer✔✔Capillary filtration refers to the ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




movement of water through capillary pores because of hydrostatic pressure, ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




rather than osmotic pressure. Capillary filtration pressure PUSHES WATER OUT
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




OF THE CAPILLARY INTO THE INTERSTITIAL SPACES. It reflects the arterial
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




pressure and venous pressure, the precapillary (arterioles) and post capillary ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




(venues) resistance, and the force of gravity. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Capillary filtration pressure mm Hg - correct answer✔✔30-40 at arterial end ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




10-15 at venous end ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




25 in the middle
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




capillary colloidal osmotic pressure - correct answer✔✔Is the osmotic pressure ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




generated by the plasma proteins that are too large to pass through the pore of ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




the capillary wall. Because plasma proteins do not normally penetrate the
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




capillary pores and because their concentration is greater in the plasma than in ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




the interstitial fluid, it is capillary colloidal osmotic pressure that PULLS
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




FLUID/WATER BACK INTO THE CAPILLARY. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




interstitial/tissue hydrostatic pressure - correct answer✔✔OPPOSES THE ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




MOVEMENT OF WATER OUT OF THE CAPILLARY . ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




it is normally negative, contributes to the outward movement of water into and
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




out of the interstitial spaces
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\

,interstitial colloidal osmotic pressure - correct answer✔✔PULLS WATER OUT OF ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




THE CAPILLARY INTO THE INTERSTITIAL SPACES.
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




It reflects the small amount of plasma proteins that normally escape into the
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




interstitial spaces from the capillary, also pulls water out of the capillary into the ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




tissue spaces.
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Hydrostatic pressure - - correct answer✔✔Pushing force exerted by a fluid. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Arterial capillary pressure is about 30 mm Hg and venous is 10. Interstitial fluid
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




may have a negative hydrostatic pressure of about (-3 mm), which contributes to
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




outward movement of fluid from the capillary.
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Colloidal osmotic pressure - - correct answer✔✔Pulling force of plasma proteins||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




that cannot pass through the capillary membrane; assist the movement of fluid
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




back into the capillary ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Intracellular fluid (ICF)- - correct answer✔✔contained in all body cells, including ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




the blood cells
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Extracellular fluid (ECF) - correct answer✔✔contained in the vascular system ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




(blood plasma) and fluid contained in the interstitial spaces
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Third-spacing - correct answer✔✔fluid trapped in one of several possible ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




transcellular spaces ||\\||\\




Ex. pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, ascites.
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




This fluid is not available for ECF or ICF uses, since it is trapped or "sequestered".
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\

, Pericardial effusion is the blood that is surrounding the heart and that ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




compresses the heart not allowing it to bead needs to be surgical to decompress ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




the heart
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Third-space - correct answer✔✔Third spacing represents the loss or movement ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




and trapping of ECF in a transcompartmental space.
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Osmosis - correct answer✔✔movement of water from an area of lower ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




concentration to an area of greater concentration of solutes (electrolytes) ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Isotonic - correct answer✔✔has the same effective osmolality as the ICF,
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




neither shrink nor swell ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Ex. .9% sodium chloride
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Hypotonic - correct answer✔✔has a lower osmolarity than the ICF, they swell ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




as water moves into the cell
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Hypertonic - correct answer✔✔has a great osmolarity than the ICF, they shrink ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




as water is pulled out of the cell
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Osmolarity of fluids - correct answer✔✔-Osmolarity of body fluids has many ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




clinical implications, thus it is an important concept.
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




-Osmolarity of the blood plasma (serum) is determined largely by the amount of ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Sodium (Na+) contained in the plasma. A patient with an elevated serum Na+
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




will have serum hyperosmolarity. In this case, what fluid movement would you
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




expect to happen? (think of osmosis) The cell will shrivel
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\
