Hydration Flashcards
(75 cards)
What do you call the water contained within a cell’s membrane, which makes up approximately 2/3 of total body water?
Intracellular fluid
What do you call the water found outside of the body’s cells: found between cells and transported throughout the body via arteries, veins, and capillaries?
Extracellular fluid
What is the major extracellular fluid solute?
Sodium
What is the major intracellular fluid solute?
Potassium
What is the primary factor that determines what space body water occupies?
The concentration of sodium and potassium electrolytes
Describes the concentration of solutes in a liquid.
Osmolality
What is the primary regulator of hydration status?
The plasma osmolality of ECF.
What do you call the physiological factors such as high osmolality or low blood pressure, which prompt sodium and water appetite?
Dipsogenic Signals
What are dispogenic signals?
Physiological factors that prompt sodium and water appetite
Specialized nerves that can sense change in pressure in the heart or blood vessels.
Baroreceptors
A solution with a lesser concentration of solute (i.e., fresh water compared to salt water).
hypo-osmotic
The rate at which fluids and their contents pass through the stomach via the pyloric sphincter and into the small intestine
Gastric emptying rate
What are the 3 primary Involuntary actions that change the levels of fluid and electrolytes in the body?
Check all that apply.
A. Food & Beverage Intake
B. Heat exposure and convection
C. Sweat loss during exercise
D. Urine loss during recovery
A, C, D
What is the most significant influence-to-thirst for water?
A. ICF Osmolality
B. ECF Osmolality
C. Dehydration
D. Euhydration
B. ECF Osmolality
What is the movement or flow of air over an object known as?
Convection
A normal hydration status is known as _____
Euhydration
What factors determine sweat evaporation rates?
Heat, humidity, and convection
What other factors, aside from hydration status, can contribute to heat illness?
Heat, humidity, convection
What other factors, aside from hydration status, can contribute to heat illness? Check all that apply.
A. Environmental conditions B. Level of exertion C. Training status D. Body composition E. Clothing choice
all of the above
Which has the greatest effect of on a client’s heart rate regarding hydration when exercising in environments of temperatures excess of 90 degrees?
A. Euhydrated + Water during exercise
B. Euhydrated + No water during exercise
C. Dehydrated + Water during exercise
D. Dehydrated + No water during exercise
D. Dehydrated + No water during exercise
A potentially serious medical condition in which the plasma sodium falls below 135 mmol/L, usually the result of fluid intake greatly exceeding sweat losses during prolonged exercise.
Exercise Associate Hyponatremia
In most cases, calculating the average client’s sweat loss is not necessary. However, for those clients that require a level of coaching where it is required, what is the equation that yields a client’s sweat loss volume in kilograms?
Initial Weight (kg) – Post-exercise weight (kg) + fluid consumption during (kg) – Urine volume (kg)
There has been much discussion about the risk of Exercise-Associated Hyponatremia (EAH). Without diagnosing, what are some less severe symptoms that a client could exhibit who might be experiencing EAH often confused with severe dehydration? Check all that apply.
A. Anxiety B. Weakness C. Cramping D. Vomiting E. Disorientation F. Thirst G. Confusion
B, C, D, E, G
A measurement that represents the ratio of solutes in the urine versus distilled water.
Urine-Specific Gravity
