HCC Freeport, IL Fluid and Electrolytes

Norm Value Na+130-145 mEq/L
Norm Value Cl- 98-107 mEq/L
Norm Value HCO3- 24
Norm Value Ca2+ 5
Norm Value Mg2+ 1.5-2.5
Norm Value HP04- 2
Approximately _____ to _____% of the human body is made up of water. 50-60%
Why is it important for the body to maintain homeostasis? Without homeostasis, cells can't function properly and illness results
Define: intracellular fluid fluid within a cell
Define: extracellular fluid What are the 2 types? fluid outside the cell intravascular and interstitial
What is the difference between intravascular and interstitial fluid? intravascular is fluid found in the blood vessels in the form of serum. Interstitial is fluid surrounding the cells as in lymph, digestive secretions, sweat and CSF
Extracellular fluid is responsible for: transport of nutrients and wastes through the body.
Percentage of body water is affected by: _____, ____ and ______ age, sex and amount of body fat
The % of water in ones body is lower in: women or men baby or adolescent healthy weight or obese % body water is lower in: females adolescents obese (fat contains less water than other tissue.)
A substance that develops an electrical charge when dissolved in water electrolyte
Ions that have a postive charge are called: Ions that have a negative charge are called: Positive= cations negative= anions
What is the correct charge for the following electrolytes when dissolved in water: Magnesium- Chloride- Phosphate- Sodium- Bicarbonate- Potassium- Calcium- Mg2 + Cl - HPO4 - Na + HCO3 - K + Ca2 +
What do electrolytes do that helps maintain homeostasis Strive for a neutral charge- for every cation an anion can be found.
Which element is the standard for comparing chemical activities of electrolytes? (1 mEq of an electrolyte has the same chemical combining power as 1 mEq of ________) hydrogen
________ is the most abundant electrolyte in the body and the primary electrolyte in the ECF Sodium
___________plays a major rold in the regulation of body fluid volumes, muscular activity, nerve impulse conduction, and acid-base balance. Sodium
If a person's sodium level is too high, the person will ______________. retain water.
Treatment for a person retaining water might include: a diuretic that promotes excretion of sodium because "water goes where sodium goes."
___________ is found mainly in the ICF and is the major intracellular cation. Potassium
_______ plays a rold in maintaining fluid osmolarity and volume WITHIN the cell. Potassium
_______ is essential for normal membrane excitability which is necessary in the transmission of nerve impulses. Potassium
_____ is needed for protein synthesis, for the synteses and breakdown of glycogen, and to maintain plasma acid-base balance. Potassium
_______ is an extracellular anion that is usually bound with other ions, expecially sodium or potassium. Chloride
_________ major functions are to regulate osmotic pressure between fluid compartments and to assist in regulating ace-base balance. Chloride
________ is usually combined with phosphorus to form the mineral salts of the bones and teeth. Calcium
______% of total calcium in the body is concentrated in the bones and teeth and ____% is in the ECF. 99% bones and teeth 1% ECF
______ is ingested through the diet and absorbed through the intestine. Calcium
Calcium has a reciprocal relationship with Phosphorus
Phosphorus has a reciprocal relationship with Calcium
_______ promotes normal transmission of nerve impulses and helps regulate normal muscle contraction and relaxation. Calcium
Where does regulation of calcium take place? Can you explain that? In the body. If serum calcium levels fall, more is absorbed through the intestine, reabsorbed through the kidneys or taken from the bones.
______ is a cation found (50-60%) in the bone, 39-49% in the ICF and 1% in the ECF. It is the 2nd most abundant cation in the ICF so it is vital to cellular function. Magnesium
________ plays a rold in the metabolism of carbs and proteins, the storage and use of ICF energy, and neural transmission. Magnesium
Magnesium is important in the functioning of the _______, _________ and _________. Heart, nerves and muscles.
Magnesium is absorbed through the _______ and excreted through the _________. small intestine, kidneys
Magnesium excretion is regulated by ________ and __________ excretion, _____(ECF or ICF) volume and _______ hormone. sodium and calcium excretion ECF Parathyroid hormone
Name 5 common nonelectrolyte solutes found in the body. They do not carry a charge and are measured in mg/dl. 1. urea 2. protein 3. glucose 4. creatinine 5. bilirubin
Name 4 processes that water and soultes are transported between ICF and ECF compartments. 1. diffusion 2. active transport 3. filtration 4. osmosis
The random movement of particles in all directions is _________. Diffusion
The term ________ _______ is used when a carrier protein transports the molecules through membranes toward an area of lower concentration facilitated diffusion
Carrier proteins can transport substances from an area of lower concentration to an area of equal or greater concentration. This process, which requires the expenditure of energy, is called _______. Name 1 example. Active transport Sodium Pump
The transfer of water through a membrane from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure is ________. Filtration
The pressure the is utilized in filtration is known as __________. Hydrostatic pressure
Define hydrostatic pressure. (It is the combination of _____________ and ___________.) It is the combination of pressures from the force of gravity on the fluid and the pumping action of the heart.
Filtration is a necessary process for: ____________________________________. Moving fluid out of the capillaries into tissues. Filtering plasma through the kidneys.
Movement of water across a membrane from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution. Osmosis
Osmolality refers to: the concentration of a solution determined by the number of dissolved particles per kilogram of water
Osmolality controls ________ movement and distribution in body fluid compartments by regulating the the concentration of fluid in each compartment. water
The osmolality of ECF and ICF tend to equalize due to the constant shifting of water. A change in 1 affects the other. Osmolality of ICF is maintained primarily by ________ and the osmolality of ECF by ______________. potassium sodium
normal range of osmolality of the body fluids is between __________ and ___________ millimoles per kilogram. 280 and 294
_______________ refers to the concentration of particles per liter of solution. osmolarity
Regulation of fluid balance is accomplished by constant adjustment from ________ and _________. kidneys circulatory system
The kidneys and circulatory system are influenced by ____________, ____________ and ____________ in fluid balance regulation. sympathetic nervous system specific hormones thirst center
Main regulator of fluid balance kidney
________ control ECF by adjusting concentration of electrolytes osmolality of body fluids, volume of eCF, blood volume and PH kidney
Nephron is the functioning unit of the kidney. Each is made up of _____ and _______ glomerulus and tubules
Norm Value K+ 3.5-5.1 mEq/L
