2/3 of your body fluid is this?
1/3 of your body fluid is that
Icf or intracellular fluid
ECF or extracellular fluid
Plasma makes up what percent of your body fluid
20%
The remaining 80% of your body fluid that is not plasma is made up of what four things?
Synovial fluid
Fluid in the ears and eyes
Lymph
Cerebrospinal fluid
What percent of your body mass is water
45 to 75%
Increased ATP production increases what fluid
H2o
Where is your thirst Center located and what does it control?
It is located in the medulla oblongata and controls the urge to drink
How does being overweight affect the amount of water that you carry inside you and why?
Overweight people carry less water as there is very little water in adipose
How much water do skeletal muscles carry?
65%
Urine contains what that disassociates into ions
Electrolytes also known as of salts
How do kidneys produce dilute urine or concentrated urine
Kidneys can excrete excess fluids producing dilute urine
Kidneys can excrete excess electrolytes and less water creating concentrated urine
What controls whether the kidneys excrete dilute, urine or concentrated urine?
Hormones
What are your two main sources of body water and roughly how much does each give you in milliliters?
Ingested liquids and moist foods give you 2,300 ml
Metabolic gives you 200 mL
What are the four sources of your water loss?
Urine
Evaporation of sweat
Exhaled by lungs
Digestion- added to feces
What disease causes damage to the pituitary gland? Making it so you cannot retain water so you have to drink a lot and pee a lot
Diabetes
What does dehydration do to your blood pressure and how?
Dehydration results in lower H2O volume
Which causes lower blood volume
Which results in lower blood pressure?
Define osmolarity
A measure of the concentration of dissolved particles in a solution
What happens to your osmolarity when you are dehydrated?
Your osmolarity has a high concentration of solutes so your blood becomes thick
What happens to your thirst Center and five other systems when you’re dehydrated?
They are all activated
What does ADH stand for
Antidiuretic hormone
Where is ADH produced and stored
It is produced in the hypothalamus and it is stored in the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland
What does ADH stimulate?
What does an increase in ADH cause The hypothalamus to do
It stimulates the movement of H2O from the DCT and collecting duct into the blood. An increase of blood volume increases blood pressure
If the hypothalamus detects increased blood pressure, it decreases the production of ADH so no fluids are retained from the renal tubules into the blood
What is the release of ADH stimulated by?
High blood osmolarity meaning lots of solute and very little H2O
What electrolyte makes up the majority of cations in the extracellular fluid?
Sodium
What are sodium levels controlled by?
Adh
Anp
Aldosterone
