Fluid Balance

Fluid and Electrolyte balance

QuestionAnswer
Water moves toward higher region? Osmotic pressure
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone Maintains normal blood volume at expense of IF Volume.
Intake must = ... Output
How does water leave the body? Breath, Urine, Feces, Skin
How does water enter the body? Intake (Swallow)and Cell Metabolism.
Chemical Structure of Plasma, IF and ICF helps ______ and _______ create homeostasis. Water and Electrolytes.
Primary Mechanics (6) Vomiting, diarrhea, Low BP, Sweating, Hyper Ventilation, Renin released.
Hydrostatic Pressure Forces fluid out of IF into the capillaries (Starling Law)
Blood Colloid Osmotic Pressure Draws blood from IF to capillaries. (starling Law)
Blood Hydrostatic Pressure Forces fluid out of capillaries into IF.
Starlings Law of Capillaries The physical laws of filtration and osmosis control mechanisms for water exchange between plasma.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
