How much is the total amount of fluid in the human body? | 70% of body weight |
Body fluid has been divided into two compartments, these are: | Intracellular fluid (ICF) and Extracellular Fluid |
It i s found inside the cells and make up the 55% of the total body water. | Intracellular fluid |
It i s found outside the cells and make up the 45% of the total body water. | Extracellular fluid |
There are _____ solids in female and ______ solids in male. While, there are _____ liquids in female and ______ liquids in male. | 45% and 40% 55% and 60% |
What are the two composition of body fluids? | Organic substances and inorganic substances |
What are the organic substances? | Glucose, Amino acids, Fatty acids, Hormones, and Enzymes |
What are the inorganic substances? | Sodium, Sulphate, Magnesium, Calcium, Chloride, Potassium and Phosphate |
This is where the majority of the chemical/metabolic reactions of the body occur. | Cytoplasm or intracellular body fluid |
Intracellular body fluid is also involved in maintaining _____ via sodium-potassium pump wherein potassium ions are primarily intracellularly distributed. | osmolarity |
What are the major electrolytes in extracellular fluid? | Sodium, Bicarbonate and Chloride |
It is osmotically active cation in the extracellular fluid. | Sodium |
It is predominant anion in the extracellular fluid. | Chloride |
It is important in maintaining the acid-base balance. It is also abundant in intracellular as well. | Bicarbonates |
What are the the electrolytes that are in relatively small amounts in the extracellular fluid? | Potassium, Phosphate, Magnesium and Calcium |
It occurs more inside the cells than in extracellular fluid. | Potassium |
It is an anion that is predominantly intracellular than extracellular. | Phosphate |
It is a cation that is predominantly intracellular than extracellular. | Magnesium |
It is another predominantly intracellular cation. | Calcium |
The extracellular body fluid is consists of: | Interstitial body fluids, Intravascular body fluid and Transcellular body fluid |
It constitutes 5% or 2/3 of the extracellular body fluid. It is present within and around body tissues. | Interstitial body fluids |
It forms almost 12% or 1/3 of the extracellular body fluid. It is present in the space in blood vessels and its primary function is transportation. | Intravascular body fluid |
It includes intraocular, peritoneal, pleural, cerebrospinal, digestive, and synovial fluid. | Transcellular body fluid |
Intracellular and extracellular body fluid constitutes- | total body water or TBW |
It constitutes the intravascular fluid. | Blood plasma |
It forms the interstitial fluid. | Lymph |
It is the alkaline body fluid of the human body. | Blood |
The redistribution of water in different compartments of the body is controlled by? | Osmotic presure and Hydrostatic pressure |
It is the force created by the fluid. | Osmotic pressure |
It is the force that drives fluid transport. | Hydrostatic pressure |
Osmotic pressure pulls the fluid back to the capillaries, then hydrostatic pressure pushes the fluid out of the capillary. The fluid that exits the capillary moves into the interstitial fluid. This process is referred to as? | Filtration |
Give the bodily fluids. | Blood Saliva Semen Vaginal fluids Mucus Urine |
It plays a major role in the body's defense against infection by carrying waste away from our cells and flushing them out of the body in urine, feces, and sweat. | Blood |
It is mostly made of water and contains proteins and minerals that prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and helps you chew and swallow comfortably. | Saliva |
It is released during ejaculation and contains protein, fructose, and catecholamines. | Semen |
Biological fluids that are within or expelled from the vagina and contain carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins, and other acids produced by the normal lactobacillus bacteria. | Vaginal fluids |
It contains antibodies, enzymes, and proteins that help fight bacteria and viruses and prevents the mouth, nose, throat, sinuses, and lungs from drying out. | Mucus |
It is made of 95% water, it flashes out chemicals and dead blood cells from the body and is a way for your body to get rid of extra water that it does not need. | Urine |
Give some examples of diseases that can be transmitted through bodily fluids. | Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Hepatitis B Hepatitis C |
A virus that attacks the immune system and can be transmitted through direct contact with infected blood, semen, or vaginal fluids. | HIV Human Immunodeficiency Virus |
It is an infectious liver disease that can be transmitted through direct contact with blood, saliva, semen and vaginal fluids. | Hepatitis B |
A virus that infects the liver and can be spread through direct contact with an infected person's blood. | Hepatitis C |
