| The area within the cell is called the ___ space | intracellular |
| The tissue spaces between blood vessels and cells and the area within blood vessels are known as the ___ space. | extracellular |
| An ___ is an element or compound that, when dissolved or dissociated in water or another solvent, separates into ions that are electrically charged. | electrolyte |
| Cations | positively charged ions |
| Anions | negatively charged ions |
| Shift from compartment to compartment and are separated by | semi-permeable membranes. These are ways fluids move through our body. |
| ___ maintain physiological processes. | Minerals |
| Minerals also act as catalysts in | nerve response, muscle contraction, and metabolism of nutrients in foods. |
| Minerals regulate ___ and strengthen skeletal structures. | electrolyte balance and hormone production - iron and zinc. |
| Osmosis | Movement of a solvent from an area of lesser to one of greater concentration. |
| Diffusion | Random movement of a solute through a semipermeable membrane from higher to lower concentration. – Affected by size of molecules or solutes – large=slower. Filtration |
| Active transport | Movement of ions against osmotic pressure to an area of higher pressure. |
| Crystalloids | solutes comprised of salts and large molecule colloids that do not easily dissolve. |
| In the body, water is the ___ and the solutes are ___. | solvent, electrolytes, oxygen, carbon dioxide, glucose, and proteins |
| Fluids and electrolytes constantly shift from compartment to compartment to facilitate body processes such as | tissue oxygenation, acid-base balance, and urine formation. |
| Osmolality is the measure used to evaluate serum and urine in clinical practice and reflects the | total solute concentration in a fluid compartment. |
| Albumin exerts colloid osmotic or oncotic pressure, which tends to | keep fluid in the intravascular compartment by pulling water from the interstitial space back into the capillaries (vascular compartment). |
| When there is increased hydrostatic pressure on the venous side of the capillary bed (as in congestive heart failure (CHF)), reversal in the normal movement of water occurs from interstitial space into intravascular space by filtration and results in ___ | .edema - an accumulation of excess fluid in the interstitial space. |
| As sodium diffuses into the cell and ___ out of the cell, active transport delivers sodium back to the extracellular compartment and ___ to the intracellular compartment. | potassium |
| Examples of active transport are the | sodium-potassium-ATPase pump. |
| The sodium-potassium-ATPase pump does what? | keeps a higher concentration of potassium in the ICF and a higher concentration of sodium in the ECF. |
| The thirst-control center is located within | the hypothalamus in the brain. |
| The __ continually monitor the serum osmotic pressure, and when osmolality increases, the hypothalamus is stimulated. | osmoreceptors |
| ABG | tells us their pH levels – Arterial Blood Gas |
| I/O | Intake and Output of fluids, etc, including stools. |
| CMP | Complete metabolic panel – sodium, pot, cal, mag, etc. But your electrolytes. |
| BMP | basic metabolic pane |
| Too much fluid intake backs up into the lungs and we hear | crackles |
| Avenues for daily water loss | Lungs (breathing), skin (perspiration), urine, feces. |
| Average water intake is about | 2200 mL to 2700 mL per day. |
| Water oxidation (oxidative metabolism) is the by-product of | cellular metabolism of ingested solid foods. |
| Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is stored in the ___ and is released in response to changes in blood osmolarity. | posterior pituitary gland |
| ADH prevents | diuresis, thus causing the body to save water. |
| An increase in osmolarity stimulates the osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus to release the hormone | ADH. |
| ADH works directly on the | renal tubules and collecting ducts to make them more permeable to water causing it to return to the systemic circulation, diluting blood and decreasing its osmolarity. |
| As ADH causes the body to compensate, there will be a temporary ___ in urinary output. | decrease |
| When the blood becomes __, the osmoreceptors stop the release of ADH and urinary output is restored. | diluted |
| Changes in renal perfusion initiate the | renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism. |
| A proteolytic enzyme secreted by the kidneys, responds to decreased renal perfusion secondary to a decrease in extracellular volume. | Renin |
| Renin Secreted from the kidneys in response to | low kidney perfusion |
| Renin produces __ produced which is a vasoconstrictor. | Angiotension 1 |
| Angiotension 1 is converted to ___ which is also a selective vasoconstrictor which increases blood flow to the kidneys causing improved kidney function. | Angiotension 2 |
| The adrenal cortex releases ___ in response to increased plasma potassium levels or as a part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism to counteract hypovolemia. | aldosterone |
| Atrial natriuretic peptide | secreted from atrial cells in the heart. |
| ANP acts as a | diuretic that causes sodium loss and inhibits the thirst mechanism. |
| Because sodium retention leads to water retention, the release of aldosterone acts as a | volume regulator. |
| Fluid is lost through | kidneys, skin, lungs, and GI tract |
| Insensible loss | skin and lungs and GI tract – breathing allows water to evaporate from our breath. 200 ml lost in GI tract and about 500mL through lungs. |
| Sensible loss | perspire through skin |
| Major cations within the body fluids include | sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), and magnesium (Mg2+). |
| Cations interchange when one cation leaves the cell and is replaced by another. This occurs because cells tend to maintain | electrical neutrality. |
| Sodium is the most abundant cation __% in ECF. | (90%) |
| Sodium intake is regulated by | dietary intake and aldosterone secretion. |
| Potassium is the major electrolyte and principal cation in the | intracellular compartment |
| Potassium is regulated by? | Dietary intake and renal excretion - body conserves potassium poorly, so any condition that increases urine output decreases the serum potassium concentration. |
| Magnesium is essential for | enzyme activities, neurochemical activities, and cardiac and skeletal muscle excitability. |
| Serum magnesium is regulated by | dietary intake, renal mechanisms, and actions of the parathyroid hormone (PTH). |
| The three major anions of body fluids are | chloride (Cl-), bicarbonate (HCO3-), and phosphate (PO43-) ions. |
| ___ is the major anion in ECF. | Chloride |
| The transport of chloride follows | sodium. |
| Bicarbonate | (HCO3-) - the major chemical base buffer within the body. |
| The __ regulate bicarbonate. | kidneys |
| Phosphate is a buffer anion found primarily in | ICF, with a small amount found in ECF. |
| Calcium and phosphate are inversely proportional | if one rises, the other falls. |
| ___ is normally absorbed through the GI tract. It is regulated by dietary intake, renal excretion, intestinal absorption, and PTH. | Phosphate |
| Arterial pH is | an indirect measurement of the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration. |
| pH is also a reflection of the balance between | carbon dioxide (CO2), which is regulated by the lungs, and bicarbonate (HCO23), a base regulated by the kidneys. |
| The three general types of acid-base regulators in the body are? | chemical (the carbonic acid–base buffer system), biological (the absorption and release of hydrogen ions by cells), and physiological buffering systems (the lungs and kidneys). |
| The largest chemical buffer in ECF is the | carbonic acid and bicarbonate buffer system |
| The carbonic acid–bicarbonate buffer system is the first buffering system to react to | change in the pH of ECF, and it reacts within seconds. |
| Whenever carbon dioxide increases, there is an increase in | hydrogen ions produced |
| Whenever hydrogen ions are produced, there is | more carbon dioxide produced. |
| The __ primarily control the excretion of carbon dioxide resulting from metabolism. | lungs |
| The __ control excretion of hydrogen and bicarbonate ions.kidneys | (blank) |
| Biological buffering occurs when | hydrogen ions are absorbed or released by cells. |
| Biological buffering occurs after | chemical buffering. |
| The hydrogen ion has a positive charge and must be exchanged with | another positively charged ion, frequently potassium (K+). |
