Body Fluid Spaces Flashcards
Compartmentalization of Fluids
Compartments:
Plasma
Capillary Membrane
Interstitial Fluid
Cell Membrane
Intracellular Fluid

E. Freezing point depression
It all depends on the number of particles.

D. Elicits no net water flow from the cells.
Intracellular Concentrations of Ions

Intracellular Concentration of Glucose and Proteins

Total mOsm/L in Plasma vs. Interstitial vs. Intracellular

Fluid and Body Weight

Body water content

Extracellular vs. Intracellular Fluid Content

Blood Volume vs. Plasma Volume

Hematocrit

1 - Hct

Whole Blood Volume
1-Hct — should be called the Plasmacrit.
