Movement of fluid through capillary walls depends on
Osmosis Diffusion Hydrostatic pressure Filtration Active Transport
Osmosis
Movement of fluid from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
Normal Serum Osmolality is
280-300
Normal urine Osmolality is
50-1400
Diffusion
A substance to move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration.
Hydrostatic pressure
The pressure created by the weight of fluid against the wall that contains it.
Filtration
The passage of fluids through a permeable membrane from an area of high pressure to one if low pressure.
Hypovolemia
Fluid volume deficit
Hypervolemia
Fluid volume excess
Dehydration
Loss of water alone
