Q

What is the two main function of water

A
  1. Act as a solvent for the essential nutrients so they can be used by the body
  2. Transport nutrients and oxygen from the blood to the cells, and remove waste material and other substances from the cells back to the blood so they can be excreted by the body.

Q

What are the three natural sources by which water enters the body

Study These Flashcards
A
  • ORAL FLUIDS
  • WATER IN FOODS
  • WATER FORMED BY OXIDATION OF FOODS
23
Q

Replenished by the ingestion of liquids and food products such as meats and vegetable, which contain _____% of water

24
Q

It is the third source of body fluid that yields water of oxidation

Study These Flashcards
A

METABOLISM OF FOOD

25
What is the estimated water loss of skin per day
300-400mL
26
A person is not aware of water loss
INSENSIBLE LOSS
27
The total amount of water lost can vary from 100 ml to 2000 ml per day, depending on environmental factors and body temperature
PERSPIRATION
28
An estimated in sensible water loss of lungs per day is
300-400mL
29
A large amount of fluid, about 8 L per day
GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT
30
It plays a major role in maintaining fluid balance by excreting 1200-1500 mL/day in an adult
KIDNEY
31
If excrete the largest quantity of fluid
KIDNEYS
32
A hormone from the posterior pituitary gland acts on the distal tubals of the kidneys to reabsorb water
ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE (ADH)
33
A hormone that produced in the adrenal cortex that causes the reabsorption of sodium from the renal tubules
ALDOSTERONE
34
A hormone b that is released from the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidneys that promotes vasoconstriction and the release of the aldosterone.
RENIN
35
The main electrolyte that promotes the retention of water
SODIUM
36
The homeostasis of the hydrogen ion concentration in ECF
ACID BASE BALANCE
37
It is used to indicate the hydrogen ion concentration of body fluids
pH symbol
38
What is the normal pH range of ECF
7.35-7.45
39
A substance that donates hydrogen ions
ACID
40
As the number of hydrogen ions decreases alkalinity of solution increases.
ALKALINE
41
A substance that accepts hydrogen ions or also known as proton acceptor
BASE
42
pH value higher than 7.45 results as low hydrogen ion concentration
ALKALOSIS
43
What is the three main control system that regulate acid base balance to counter acidosis or alkalosis
- BUFFER SYSTEM - RESPIRATION - RENAL CONTROL OF HYDROGEN ION CONCENTRATION
44
A solution containing two or more chemical compounds that prevents mark changes in hydrogen ion concentration when either an acid or a base is added to a solution
BUFFER SYSTEM
45
It is the body's primary buffer system that consist a mixture of carbonic acid and sodium bicarbonate.
BICARBONATE CARBONIC ACID SYSTEM (CARBONATE SYSTEM)
46
It helps maintain acid base balance by controlling the content of carbon dioxide in ECF
RESPIRATORY REGULATION OF ACID BASE BALANCE
47
Determines the formation of carbon dioxide
RATE OF METABOLISM
48
Eliminating either hydrogen ions are bicarbonate ions from the body fluids
RENAL CONTROL OF HYDROGEN ION CONCENTRATION
49
What are the factors affecting fluid and electrolyte balance
- AGE - LIFESTYLE
