F and E Flashcards
(87 cards)
Key elements underlying fluid and
electrolyte imbalance.
The Cell Membrane
What is the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell?
Cell membrane
_________ is a water traveling through a semipermeable membrane, eventually a cell membrane.
Osmosis
____________ it lets some materials through but not others
semipermeable
it implies movement?
Fluid
Give the cell membrane flexibility.
Phospholipid
What is the two types of Phospholipid?
Hydrophilic (loves water) & Hydrophobic (do not like water)
Smallest autonomous functional unit of the
body.
Cell
- Semi-permeable membrane (it separates
intracellular from extracellular
components, for it to exchange and get
energy, synthesize complex molecules,
participate in electrical event and replicate
cells) - Serves as security guard/gate.
CELL WALL
What is the 3 types of Cell membrane composition?
Phospholipids
Proteins
Cell Coat
Arranged in one end (hydrophilic) and the
other end (hydrophobic)
Phospholipids
-Second major component of the cell
membrane where most of the functions of
the cellular membrane occur.
-They transport lipid-insoluble particles
acting as carriers to pass these
compounds directly through the
membrane. Some proteins form ion
channels for the exchange of electrolytes
Proteins
Long chains of complex carbohydrates
made up glycoproteins, glycolipids and
lectins that form the outside surface of the
cell. This intricate coat helps in cell-to-cell
recognition and adhesion.
Cell Coat
- Water is the primary component of body fluid and function in several ways to maintain normal cellural function
BODY FLUID COMPOSITION
- Body Fluid is compose of water and
various dissolved substances (Solutes) - Water absorption in the gastrointestinal
tract. Body fluid is composed of water and
various dissolved substances (solutes)
BODY FLUID COMPOSITION
- Provides a medium for the transport
and exchange of nutrients and other
substances such as oxygen, carbon
dioxide, and metabolic wastes to and
from cells; - Provides a medium for metabolic
reactions within cells; - Assists in regulating body temperature
through the evaporation of perspiration.
Water
Total Body water constitutes about _________ of
the total body weight amount varies with:
__________, __________, and _____________
60%
-Age
-Gender
-The amount of body fat
Total body water decreases from ______________ of total body weight with obesity and with aging.
45% to 50%
true or false
- Thin has more body water than normal
and obese.
True
true or false
- Infant has more body water than an adult.
True
What are the 3 FACTORS AFFECTING BODY WATER
Age
- Infant 70% - 80%
- Adult 50% - 60%
- Elderly 45% - 50%
-Gender/Sex
- Male 60%
- Female 50%
-Body Fats
GINE THE 8 FUNCTIONS OF BODY WATER
1.Temperature regulation. (by perspiration)
- Transport of materials to/ from the cells.
- Aqueous medium for cellular metabolism
(provides a medium for metabolic
reaction). - Assist in food digestion (hydrolysis).
- Act as solvent in which solutes are
available for cell function. - Maintain blood volume. (For the body to
compensate) - Medium of waste excretion. (Help avoid
constipation) - Cushion body parts from injury. (pag bony

Give the example of insensible water loss
Occurs through the skin, lungs,
and feces.
- Can increase significantly during
a. Exercise; (perspiration =
loss of water)
b. High environmental
temperatures;
c. During illnesses that
respiratory rate,
perspiration or
gastrointestinal losses
