Body Fluid Compartments
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The two main factors that regulate fluid and electrolyte movement between compartments: | Hydrostatic pressure and Osmotic pressure |
| The amount of force that water is exerting on the blood vessel walls: | Hydrostatic pressure |
| The main reason that fluid enters the interstitial space from the capillaries | Hydrostatic pressure |
| The "attraction" of water to solutes: | Osmotic pressure |
| Any changes in the amounts of water will cause the movement of solutes in the appropriate direction until the concentrations on both sides are _________ | stabilized |
| Any change in the concentration of the solutes will cause water | to move in the same way. |
| The main factor in water and electrolyte movement | Osmotic pressure |
| _______ ________ compartments include all of the fluid within cells. | Intracellular fluid compartments |
| What percent does intracellular fluid compartments account for the total fluid volume? | 63% |
| Intracellular fluid has a greater concentration of _______ than plasma. | Protein |
| A cellular fluid in which blood cells are suspended | plasma |
| Name the ions found in intracellular fluid compartments | Potassium, phosphate, magnesium: relatively high concentrations. somewhat greater : sulfate ions and lesser concentrations of sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate ions. |
| EXTRAcellular fluid compartment include | all of the fluid outside the cells. |
| The extracellular fluid compartment includes what three substances | plasma (blood vessels), Interstitial fluid (fluid within the tissue spaces, and lymph (lymphatic vessels). |
| Vessels that anastomose freely with each other, and convey the lymph | Lymphatic vessels |
| A specialized portion of extracellular fluid separated by a layer of epithelium. | Transcellular fluid |
| Transcellular fluid includes: | CSF, aqueous and vitreous humors, synovial fluid, serous fluid, and fluid secretions of the glands. |
| The composition of extracellular fluids : | high concentrations of sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate ions; lesser of K+,Ca,Mg,Phosphate, and sulfate ions. |
| The blood plasma fraction contains considerably more protein that either | interstitial fluid or lymph. |
