Cards

Term
Active transport
Definition
the passage of a substance across a cell membrane by an energy consuming process that permits diffusion to take place
Term
anti diuretic hormone
Definition
a hormone secreted by the pituitary that causes kidney to retain water
Term
diffusion
Definition
the passage of molecules of one substance between the molecules of another to form one substance
Term
extra cellular fluid (ECF)
Definition
body fluid located outside cells
Term
filtration
Definition
process of passing fluid thru a filter using pressureh
Term
homeostasis
Definition
the ability to restore equilibrium during stress
Term
hypertonic
Definition
having an osmotic pressure greater than that of the solution with which it is compared. move water from cell to ECF
Term
hypotonic
Definition
having an osmotic pressure less less than that of the solution with whihc it is compared. move water from ECF to cell...possibly causing it to burst
Term
interstitial fluid
Definition
body fluid b/t cells
Term
intravascular fluid
Definition
the fluid portion of blood plasma
Term
isotonic
Definition
having an osmotic pressure equal to that of blood
Term
oncotic pressure
Definition
the osmotic pressire exerted by colloids (proteins) as when albumin exerts oncotic pressure w/in blood vessels and helps to hold water content of the blood in the intravascular compartment
Term
osmolarity
Definition
a measure of the solute concentration
Term
osmosis
Definition
the movement of water from a lower concentration to a higher one across a semipermeable membrane
Term
syndrome of inappropriate anti diuretic hormone (SIADH)
Definition
a condition in which excessive ADH is released resulting in hypo natremia
Term
water %
Definition
infant - 80%, adult male - 60%, adult females - 50-52%
Term
passive transport
Definition
no energy - osmosis, diffusion, filtration
Term
tonicity of solutions
Definition
250-375 are isotonic, hypo is below 250, hyper above 375
Term
a solution of 5% dextrose and .9% NS has an osmolarity of 599, by admining this you know that fluid will move from
Definition
intracellular to vascular
Term
a solution of .45 NaCl has an osmolarity of 154, fluid will move from
Definition
vascular to intracellular
Term
lactated ringers have an osmolarity of 273, fluid will
Definition
stay in the vascular space
Term
water is transported passively by
Definition
osmosis
Term
all of the following could be the eitology of fluid volume excess except
Definition
supression of parathyriod fn.

can be: SIADH, CHF, excessive saliine infusion
Term
which of the following are consistent with fluid volume deficit
Definition
serum osmolarity of 305

not: BUN of 6, Hemoglobin of 13, urine specific gravity of 1.010
Term
all of the following conditions produce excess ADH except:
Definition
ovarian cancer

Can cause: brain tumor, head injury, anesthesia
Term
all should be part of assessment w peripheral edema except
Definition
laboratory assessment of blood sugar

do assess: cardiovasc syst, respitory syst, specific gravity
