Cards

Term
Fitration
Definition
Fluid moves in and out of capillaries
Term
Hydrostatic pressure
Definition
Force of fluid pushig out against a surface
Term

Blood colliod osmotic pressure 

or

oncotic pressure

Definition
inward pulling force caused by blood proteins that help move fluid from the intersitial are back into capillaries
Term
Active transport
Definition

Moves electrolytes across cell membrane againt concetrauion gradient.

NEEDS ATP

 

ex: sodium postassium pump

Term
Diffusion
Definition
  • Passive movement of electrolytes down a concetration gradient from higher to lower.
Term
Osmosis
Definition
  • Water moves moves through a membrane that seperates fluids with different particle concentrations.
  • passive movement of fluid from an area of lower solute concentration to higher concentrtion
  • Osmotic pressure.
Term
Osmotic pressure
Definition
inward pulling force caused by particles in the fluid
Term
renin
Definition
enzyme increases the amount of angiotensinogen in the blood, which eventually increases blood pressure. It increases the release of aldosterone, a hormone that helps control the body's salt and water balance.
Term
Aldosterone
Definition
  • Causes resorptionof sodium and water in isotonic porportion in distal rental tubulues
  • Sodium and water returns to blood, increaseing ECF volume
  • Contributes to electrolyte and acid-base balance by increaseing urinary excretion of postassium and hydrogens ions.
  • more renin is released with decreased blood flow to kidneys
Term

ANP

Atrial natriurertic Peptide

Definition
  • Stops ADH by by increasing the loss of sodium and water in urine
  • Influences how much sodium and water are excreted in urine.
  • Cells in atria of heart release ANP when stretched (increased ECV)
  • ANP has opposite of effect as aldosterone
Term
Sodium
Definition
What promotes water retention?
Term
Protein or albumin
Definition
What promotes body fluid retention?
Term
Lymphatics
Definition
Plasma protien shifts into tissue spaces cannot be reabsorbed into the blood cells
Term

Skin

VIA 

Sweat

Definition
What excretes approx. 400-500 mL of water daily?
Term
Lungs (breathing)
Definition
Excretes 1000-1500mL H2Odaily
Term
Extracelluar Fluid
Definition
Na+ holds the water in this fluid compartment
Term
Extracellular Fluid
Definition
isotonic solution has the same concentration as this fluid
Term
Sodium
Definition
  • Main ECF cation
  • Helps govern normal ECF osmolality
  • Helps maintain acid base balance
  • Activates nerve and muscle cells
  • Influences water distrbution
    • Normal value 136-145 mEq/L
Term
Chloride
Definition
  • Main ECF anion
  • Helps maintain normal osmolality
  • Affects body pH
  • Plays important role in maintaining acid base balance
    • Normal value 98-106 mEq/L
Term
hypovolemia
Definition
what decreases vascular volume?
Term
Clinical Dehydration
Definition
  • This is a Extracellular volume deficit and hypernatremia
  • EVC is too low and body fluids too concentrated
  • Body fluids have decreased volume and hypertonic
