1.11 Fluid Copartments And Solutesm Flashcards
Plasma vs interstitial fluid
Plasma has more protein
Osmolarity
Measure of the concentration of all solute particles in a solution
How many osmoses in nacl
2 (na+ and cl-)
How many osmoses in glucose
1
How many osmoses in cacl2
3
Diffusion
Spontaneous movement of a solute down a concentration gradient until the solute molecules reach and equilibrium
Osmoles
Number of moles of solute that contribute the osmotic pressure of a solution
Osmosis
Movement of water down its own conc g toward an area of higher osmolarity
Hypertonic solutions
Cell shrinks when placed in the solution
Osmolarity of solutes greater outside
Hypotonic solutions
Cell swells when in the solution
Osmolarity of solutes is greater inside
Isotonic solution
Cell volume is unchanged
Osmolarity of solutes is equal both sides of the membrane
How are cell volumes maintained
By actively pumping ions
UW solution factors to reduce cell swelling
Lack of na or cl
Presence of Extracellular solutes
Presence of starch
Antioxidants
COP
Colloid osmotic pressure
When is cop generated
Higher conc of plasma proteins inside capillaries
