Question
Answer
Extracellular Fluid Compartment – 35%,   show
🗑
show A person is in a state of water balance when daily gains and losses are equal. We gain  
🗑
Water gain comes from two sources   show
🗑
Water loss comes from several sources   show
🗑
show Insensible water loss & Obligatory Water Loss  
🗑
show a)Dehydration reduces blood volume/BP and increases blood osmolarity. b)The anterior nucleus of the hypothalamus has a neural pool called the Thirst Center that responds to multiple signs of dehydration:  
🗑
Effects of Dehydration and the Physiological Response   show
🗑
show a)Reduced osmolarity stops the osmoreceptor response, promotes capillary filtration and makes the saliva more abundant and watery. But these changes require 30 minutes or longer to take effect – and it would be impractical if one had to drink this long  
🗑
Cooling and moistening of the mouth   show
🗑
show if a dog is allowed to drink drained from its esophagus but its stomach is inflated w/ a balloon – its thirst is temporarily satisfied. If the water is drained away but the stomach is not inflated, satiation does not last as long.le the water is  
🗑
show The only way to significantly control water output is through variations in urine volume.  
🗑
show Changes in urine volume are usually connected to adjustments in sodium reabsorption  
🗑
Regulation of Output   show
🗑
show As sodium is reabsorbed or excreted, proportionate amounts of water accompany it.  
🗑
Changes in urine volume are usually connected to adjustments in sodium reabsorption   show
🗑
Changes in urine volume are usually connected to adjustments in sodium reabsorption   show
🗑
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)   show
🗑
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)   show
🗑
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)   show
🗑
show ii)Sodium continues to be excreted, so the ratio of sodium to water in the urine increases. By helping the kidneys retain water, ADH slows down the decrease in blood volume and the rise in its osmolarity.  
🗑
show if blood volume/BP are too high or blood osmolarity is too low – then ADH release is inhibited.  
🗑
E. Disorders of Water Balance   show
🗑
Volume Depletion (Hypovolemia)   show
🗑
show a. This occurs when the body eliminates significantly more water than sodium, so the ECF osmolarity increases. b. Causes of dehydration include lack of drinking water, diabetes mellitus, ADH hyposecretion (diabetes insipidus), profuse sweating, overuse  
🗑
The most serious effects of fluid deficiency are   show
🗑
Two types of fluid excesses   show
🗑
Volume Excess   show
🗑
show Loss of a large amount of water and salt through urine/sweat – then replacing this by ingestion of plain water. Without a proportionate intake of electrolytes, water dilutes the ECF, makes it hypotonic and causes cellular swelling.  
🗑
Hypotonic Hydration (Water intoxication or positive water balance)   show
🗑
Most serious effects of fluid excess   show
🗑
show this is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitial spaces causing swelling of a tissue.  
🗑
Hemorrhage   show
🗑
Pleural effusion   show
🗑
show Body water is distributed among several fluid compartments – areas separated from  
🗑
show 65%  
🗑
show Water is continually exchanged b/w compartments by way of capillary walls and plasma membranes. From the tissue fluid, water may be reabsorbed by the capillaries, osmotically absorbed into cells or taken up by the lymphatic system, which returns blood  
🗑
Osmosis   show
🗑
show The most abundant solutes are electrolytes – especially sodium salts in the ECF and  
🗑
Electrolytes   show
🗑
show Water lost in the urine accounts for 1,500 mL/day  
🗑
Feces   show
🗑
Expired air   show
🗑
show Accounts for loss of 100 mL/day.  
🗑
show Accounts for loss of 400 mL/day.  
🗑
show Sodium continues to be excreted, so the ratio of sodium to water in the urine increases. By helping the kidneys retain water, ADH slows down the decrease in blood volume and the rise in its osmolarity.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
