extracellular fluid 1/3 of the body fluid
interstitial fluid surrounds cell in tissue
intravascular fluid blood plasma
transcellular fluids fluids in defined spaces, like cerebral spinal fluid.
osmosis movement of water from low solutes to high solutes concentration.
active transport requires ATP moves molecules to large to diffuse.
oncotic pressure pull/attracts water by making plasma proteins force fluid back into capillaries
capillary responsible for interstitial fluid exchange
aldosterone Hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex. increases sodium absorption and potassium secretion.
antidiuretic hormone Decreases the release of solutes in the kidney (pee less)
diffusion Movement of particles from high concentration to low.
edema Swelling of a tissue
facilitated diffusion Diffusion using a transport molecule.
hydrostatic pressure The force in the capillaries that pushes fluid into the tissue.
hypercalcemia Excessive calcium in the blood.
hyperkalemia Excessive potassium in the blood.
hypernatremia Excessive sodium in the blood.
hypocalcemia Low calcium in the blood.
hypokalemia Low potassium in the blood
hyponatremia Low sodium in the blood
natriuretic peptides Hormones that stimulates elimination of solutes. ANP & BNP
