QuestionAnswer
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
