excess accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space   EDEMA  
🗑
excessive accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space throughout the body   GENERALIZED EDEMA (ANASARCA)  
🗑
fluid inside the cell   INTRACELLULAR COMPARTMENT  
🗑
fluid inside the blood vessel   INTRAVASCULAR COMPARTMENT  
🗑
fluid outside the cell (interstitial fluid, blood lymph, bone, connective tissue, water, and transcellular fluid)   EXTRACELLULAR COMPARTMENT  
🗑
fluid between cells   INTERSTITIAL FLUID  
🗑
fluid in various parts of the body (peritoneal fluid, pleural fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, and synovial fluid)   TRANSCELLULAR FLUID  
🗑
total body fluid of an adult (percent of body weight)   60%  
🗑
total body fluid of an older adult (percent of body weight)   55%  
🗑
total body fluid of an infant (percent of body weight)   80%  
🗑
largest single constituent of the body   WATER  
🗑
subtances that do not dissociate ina solution   GLUCOSE, UREA, AND CREATININE  
🗑
process where solute spreads the molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area o lower concentration   DIFFUSION  
🗑
process where pressure draws the solvent from a less concentrated solute through a selectively permeable membrane into a more concentrated solute; tending to equalize the concentration of the solvent   OSMOSIS (OSMOTIC PRESSURE)(measure by milliosmoles - mOsm)  
🗑
membrane that is permeable to water but not to all the solutes present   SELECTIVE OR SEMIPERMEABLE MEMBRANE  
🗑
movement of solutes and solvents by hydrostatic pressure   FILTRATION  
🗑
force exerted by the weight of the solution; when a difference exists between two sides of a membrane, water and diffusable solutes move out of the solution that has the higher hydrostatic pressure through filtration   HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE  
🗑
refers to the number of osmotically active particles/kilogram of water; the concentration of the solution   OSMOLALITY  
🗑
normal osmolality of plasma   270-300 mOsm/kg water  
🗑
when the solutions on both sides have established equilibrium   ISOTONIC SOLUTION  
🗑
examples of isotonic solution   0.9% SODIUM CHLORIDE5% DEXTROSE IN WATER5% DECTROSE IN 0.225% SALINERL SOLUTION  
🗑
when a solution containes a lower concentration of salt or solute than another more concentrated solution (less salt, more water)   HYPOTONIC SOLUTION  
🗑
examples of hypotonic solution   0.45% SODIUM CHLORIDE0.225% SODIUM CHLORIDE0.33% SODIUM CHLORIDE  
🗑
a solution that has a higher concetration of solutes than another less concentrated solution (more salt, less water)   HYPERTONIC SOLUTION  
🗑
examples of hypertonic solution   3% SODIUM CHLORIDE5% SODIUM CHLORIDE10% DEXTROSE IN WATER5% DEXTROSE IN 0.9% SODIUM CHLORIDE5% DEXTROSE IN 0.45% SIDUM CHLORIDE5% DEXTROSE IN RL SOLUTION  
🗑
necessary to move an ion through a membrane from an area of lower concentration to a higher concentration   ACTIVE TRANSPORT  
🗑
substances transported actively through a cell membrane   IONS OF SODIUM, POTASSIUM, CALCIUM, IRON AND HYDROGEN, SOME OF THE SUGARS, AND AMINO ACIDS  
🗑
water lost through the skin   400 ML/DAY  
🗑
water lost through perspiration   100 ML/DAY  
🗑
water lost from the lungs   350 ML/DAY  
🗑
water lost through the feces   150 ML/DAY  
🗑
usual urine output   1500 ML/DAY  
🗑
average total amount of water taken in though orally ingested liquids, water in foods, and water formed by oxidation of foods   2500 ML/DAY  
🗑
secreted by the adrenal glands to control ECF volume by regulating sodium reabsorption in the kidneys   ALDOSTERONE  
🗑
released by the pituitary gland to regulated the osmotic pressure of the ECF by regulating the amount of water reabsorbed by the kidneys   ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE (ADH)  
🗑
water and dissolved electrolytes are lost in equal proportions; results in decreased circulating blood volume and inadequate tissue perfusion   ISOTONIC DEHYDRATION (HYPOVOLEMIA)  
🗑
water loss exceeds electrolyte loss; fluid moves from intracellular compartment into the plasma and interstitial fluid causing cellular dehydration and shrinkage - causes hyperactive DTRs and pitting edema   HYPERTONIC DEHYDRATION  
🗑
electrolyte loss exceeds water loss; fluid moves from the plasma and interstitial fluid spaces into the cells causing plasma volume deficit and cells to swell - causes skeletal muscle weakness   HYPOTONIC DEHYDRATION  
🗑
results from an excessive fluid in the extracellular fluid compartment; causes circulatory overload and interstitial edema - results in liver enlargement and ascited, can lead to CHF and PE   ISOTONIC OVERHYDRATION (HYPERVOLEMIA)  
🗑
caused by excessive sodium intake; excess extracellular fluid volume   HYPERTONIC OVERHYDRATION  
🗑
known as water intoxication; excessive fluid moves into the intracellular space; result of dilution- can lead to polyuria, diarrhea, nonpitting edema, dysrhythmias, projectile vomiting   HYPOTONIC OVERHYDRATION  
🗑
normal range of sodium   135-145 mEq/L  
🗑
normal range of potassium   3.5-5.1 mEq/L  
🗑
normal range of calcium   8.6-10.0 mg/dL  
🗑
normal range of magnesium   1.6-2.6 mg/dL  
🗑
normal range of phosphate   2.7-4.5 mg/dL  
🗑
mineral element needed for bone formation, coagulation of blood, excitation of cardiac and skeletal muscle, maintenance of muscle tone, conduction of neuromuscular impulses and the synthesis and regulation of endocrine and exocrine glands   CALCIUM  
🗑
concentrated in the bone, cartilage, and within the cell itself; required for the use of ATP as energy; necessary for carbohydrate metabolism, protein synthesis, nucleic acid synthesis, contraction of muscular tissue; neuromuscular activity, clotting mech   MAGNESIUM  
🗑
principle electrolyte of intracellular fluid and primary buffer within the cell itself; needed for nerve conduction, muscle function, acid-base balance, and osmotic pressure; controls the rate and force of ontraction of the heart and thus cardiac output   POTASSIUM  
🗑
needed for generation of bony tissue; helps in metabolsm of glucose and lipids; acid-base balance, storage and transfer of energy; has inverse relationship with calcium   PHOSPHORUS  
🗑
abundant electrolte that maintains osmotic pressure and acid-base balance and transmits never impulses   SODIUM  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
