Hypertonic osmolality greater than 300.
osmolality less than 300.
Hypotonic - osmotic pressure is more significant in the body
- fluids pulled from body into cell
An isotonic solution 0.09% normal saline
type of cytokine that signals cells to increase anti-viral
defenses.
Interferons (IFNs) - are released by cells that are infected with a virus,
causing other cells to become resistant to the virus
- play a role in tumor suppression
Hypervolemia fluid volume overload
swelling of soft tissues because
of excess fluid accumulation
Edema
-Increased hydrostatic (water) pressure
- Manifestation: High BP and pitting edema
- Renal Failure, Heart Failure
- Decreased colloid osmotic pressure
Causes of edema include:
- low albumin
- cirrhosis, starvation
- bacteria infections/burns
- obstruction of lymphatic system (cancer or infection)
