chap 7 (water) Flashcards
(79 cards)
factor affecting body water content
body size, gender, age, body composition
average body water amount male and female
42 L male, 30 L female
where is most of the water in the body located
intracellular water
place the water location in the body in order from lower to higher
plasma, interstitial fluid, extracellular water, intracellular water
how does the water moves in the body and must pass through what
by hydrostatic and osmotic pressure -> must past trop ECF into ICF
what is hydrostatic pressure + used by what
difference in fluid pressure between two area -> water. in blood plasma (higher pressure) to interstitial space (lower pressure)
cardiovasculaire system to move blood
Water moves from an area of
higher/lower solute concentration to an
area of higher/lower solute
concentration.
lower to higher
There are two major aspects to fluid balance that must
be considered and understood:
water volume and concentration
what act as a gateway for water entry into the body
ECF
what does hypotonic means
having a lower osmotic pressure than another fluid
what is the major cation in extracellular fluid
sodium
what is osmosis
tendance of water to move from areas of low solute concentration to area of high solute concentration
what are the different source of water
fluid consumption - 80%
food: < 20%
cellular metabolism
avenue of water loss
urination (60%)
defecation
sweating (90%)
breathing
what is the major cause of water loss
sweating
sodium is excreted by
kidneys
processed foods is high in Na or K
Na
unprocessed food is abundant of Na or K
K
low intake of potassium reflect what
lack of fruit and vegetables
what is hyperkalemia and can result from + symptom
too munch potassium intake -> from supplementation
muscle fatigue, weakness, paralysis, arrhythmias, difficulty breathing
what is hypokalemia, cause and symptom
sustantional potassium loss -> misuse of potassium-containing diuretic, frequent self-induced vomiting, prolonged diarrhea
increase BP, bone turnover, muscle weakness, arrhythmia
K excretion is regulated by
renal system
The three major areas of sensible water loss are the
fluid lost in feces, urine, and sweat
exemple of food with a high potassium content
banana, orange juice, avocados
