Chapter 26 Fluids

QuestionAnswer
chemical compounds that dissociate in water into ions ( can carry electric current) electrolytes
chemicals that do not dissociate in water into ions nonelectrolytes
measure of # charges in solution milliequivalents/liter (mEq/L)
What is the mEq/L of a 140 mM NaCl solution? 140 mM NaCl -----> Na + Cl- 140 mM Na x1 = 140 mEq/L Na 140 mM Cl- x -1 = -140 mEq/L Cl
What is the mEq/L of a 5 mM Ca(2+) solution? 5 mM Ca (2+) x 2 = 10 mEq/L Ca (2+)
What is the mEq/L of a 100 mM CaCl2 solution? CaCl2 --------> Ca2 + 2Cl- 100 mM Ca2 x 2 = 200 mEq/L Ca2 100 mM (2Cl x -1 = -200 mEq/L Cl-
water can move from compartment to compartment. attempts to maintain homeostasis (osmolarity and volume) fluid movements
water loss from one compartment draws water from other compartments to _______. replace
driving force. responds to small change (2-3%) in bld plasma osmality thirst mechanism
unavoidable outputs of water. at least 200 mL/day via urine obligatory water loss
loss of water. ex) sweating, diuretic abuse dehydration
loss of water and Na+; osmolarity same. ex) hemorrhage, prolonged vom or diarrhea. severe burns volume depletion
overydrytion. too much water. hypotonic hydration
accumulation of fluid in interstitial space (ECF) edema
central electrolyte. the major cation of ECF. primary role in controlling ECF volume and water distribution in the body. Na+
aldosterone, baroreceptors regulate _________ balance. Na+
incr Na+ reabsorption from DCT, coll. duct. also incr K+ secretion from collecting duct aldosterone
incr bld volume/pressure and incr Na+ and water in urine. decr bld volume/pressure and decr Na+ and water in urine. cardiovascular baroreceptors
hormone from heart atria in response to stretch. causes more Na+ (and hence, water) to remain in urine. atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
hormone enhances Na+ (and water) reabsorption by renal tubules. estrogen
major cation of ICF. very strongly influences membrane resting potential. K+
when ECF K+ is _________... more K+ moves into principal cells of cortical collecting duct. more secreted into filtrate. high
when ECF K+ is _________... less K+ moves into principal cells of cortical collecting duct. less secreted into filtrate. less
enhances K+ secretion while enhancing Na+ reabsorption aldosterone influence
completely dissociate in water strong acid
incomplete dissociation in water weak acid
arterial blood has a pH of 7.4
interstitial fluid and venous bld has a pH of 7.35

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
