Female |
| The largest fluid compartment of the body, located inside cells, serves as a solvent to facilitate intracellular chemical reactions. |
Intracellular fluid |
| This is called the internal environment of the body; surrounds cells and transports substances to and from them. |
Extracellular Fluid |
| This is aka as intravascular fluid; has noncellular portion of blood. |
Plasma |
| This fluid is located in the tissue spaces between the cells with a lower relative osmotic pressure than plasma. |
Interstitial Fluid |
| This fluid is separated from other extracellular fluid by a layer of epithelium. |
Transcellular Fluid |
| This refers to the osmotic pressure of any solution relative to the osmotic pressure of plasma; has 3 types. |
Tonicity |
| This type of solution have the same effective osmotic pressure as that of plasma. |
Isotonic |
| This type of solution have an osmotic pressure that is lower than that of plasma and will cause cells to swell and eventually burst. |
Hypotonic |
| This is another word for 'cells excessively swelling and bursting'. |
Hemolyze |
| This type of solution have a higher osmotic pressure than that of plasma and will cause cells to shrink. |
Hypertonic |
| This is another word for 'cells shrinking'. |
Crenate |
| This is the pressure exerted by fluids; constantly forces fluid from plasma through the capillary membrane into the interstitial fluid. |
Hydrostatic Pressure |
| This is a solution's potential pressure caused by nondiffusible solute particles in the solution; pressure needed to stop osmosis. |
Osmotic Pressure |
| This is when the extracellular fluid becomes hypertonic and the result can be that fluid shifts from the cell toward the extracellular fluid. |
Dehydration |
| This is when the extracellular fluid becomes hypertonic and fluid will shift to the inside of the cell; also called water intoxication. |
Hyperhydration |
| This type of metabolism produces some water. |
Oxidative |
| This is when water is lost in urine, feces, and sweat, and by evaporation from the skin and lungs. |
Water output |
| This is when water output exceeds water intake. |
Dehydration |
| This is an increase in the volume of free water in the body resulting in dilutional hyponatremia. |
Water Intoxication |
| This is the abnormal accumulation of extracellular fluid within the interstitial spaces; swelling. |
Edema |
| This is the most abundant extracellular cation. |
Sodium |
| Sodium balance is regulated by this hormone. |
Aldosterone |
| Aldosterone is secreted by this. |
Adrenal Cortex |
| This is the most abundant intracellular cation. |
Potassium |
| Potassium balance is indirectly controlled by this hormone. |
Aldosterone |
| This is the most abundant ion in the body. |
Calcium |
| This electrolyte is primarily an intracellular cation that is also found in bone. |
Magnesium |
| This intracellular electrolyte found most abundantly in the bones with the rest combined with lipids, proteins, carbs, etc. |
Phosphate |
| The major extracellular anion that can easily diffuse between the extracellular and intracellular compartments. |
Chloride |
| This is predominantly and extracellular anion that is important in the acid/base regulation of the body. |
Bicarbonate |
| Cation (Na+) |
Sodium |
| Cation (K+) |
Potassium |
| Cation (Ca++) |
Calcium |
| Cation (Mg++) |
Magnesium |
| Anion (Cl--) |
Chloride |
| Anion (HCO3-) |
Bicarbonate |
| Anion (HPO4-2) |
Phosphate |
| This is when your body has lower sodium level than normal blood. |
Hypoatremia |
| This is when your body has higher sodium level than normal blood. |
Hyperatremia |
| This is when your body has lower than normal levels of potassium. |
Hypokalemia |
| This is when your body has higher than normal levels of potassium. |
Hyperkalemia |

| This regulates water intake. |
Thirst |
| This ion is regulated by calcion and parathyroid hormone. |
