24
what is the boundary for interstitial space
utilizes all the other boundaries (sandwiched in-between)
25
what is the plasma
the fluid within the blood vessels
26
what is the boundary for the plasma
endothelial cells
27
what its the transcellular spaces
the fluid within specialized fluid spaces of the body, such as the CSF, pleural, synovial, and peritoneal fluids this is VERY retractable, tightly controlled
28
what is the boundary for the transcellular spaces
epithelial cells
29
why can we see similarities with the plasma and interstitial fluid
the endothelial clefts have low restrictiveness
30

No, No
31

Yes, Yes
33
can glucose pass through the endothelial cell clefts? will the plasma membrane have intact channels/carriers?
Yes, Yes
34
can oxygen pass through the endothelial cell clefts? will the plasma membrane have intact channels/carriers?
Yes, Yes
35
can WBCs pass through the endothelial cell clefts? will the plasma membrane have intact channels/carriers?
Yes, No
36
can Sodium pass through the endothelial cell clefts? will the plasma membrane have intact channels/carriers?
Yes, Yes
37
Explain how WBCs passing through endothelial cell clefts can be both a yes or no
WBCs shouldn't be leaving under normal healthy conditions but they are capable ex: infection
38
what is a 0 for the reflection coefficient
barrier is freely permeable to the solute
39
what is a 1 for the reflection coefficient
barrier is impermeable to solute
40
the makeup of transcellular spaces can vary greatly depending on
the specific needs of the compartment
41
what is the primary mechanism of transport for the solutes within the body fluids
diffusion
42
oxygen and nutrients diffuse from an area of what concentration to where
high concentration within the blood stream to an area of low concentration in the interstitial space
43
oxygen and nutrients can traverse the plasma membrane and enter the cells of the body- yes or no?
yes
44
CO2 and other waste products move in concentrations from
low to high, passing from the cells to the intermediate zone of the interstitial fluid and then the bloodstream
45
How long does it take glucose to diffuse 1 cm?
13.9 hours **diffusion is a SLOW process**
46
what is bulk flow
large scale movements of water and dissolved solutes based on pressure gradients
47
as the heart pumps, fluid is pushed between the openings of endothelial cells and into the interstitial fluid what happens to the fluid?
most gets returned back into the blood stream what doesn't get reabsorbed is moved into the lymphatic system where it is cleaned and returned to the bloodstream
48
the lymph body fluid compartment is considered a subset of
the extracellular fluid
49
what is total body water (TBW)
all water within the body
50
what is intracellular fluid (ICF)
fluid contained within the boundary of the plasma membranes
51
what is extracellular fluid (ECF)
all fluids in the body outside of the plasma membrane boundaries
52
where is interstitial fluid located
between the body fluid compartments
53
where is plasma
within the boundary of endothelial cells in lymphatic vessels
54
where is transcellular fluid
within the epithelial cell boundaries
55
the volume of a body fluid compartment can changed based on
solute levels
56
water moves via osmosis from an area of what to what concentration
low solute to high solute
57
Osmolarity can change with
temperature since water volume changes with temperature
58
Osmolality does or does not change with temperature
does not
59
molarity of the solution is based on
the number of molecules per volume of fluid
60
osmolarity is based on the
number of particles after dissociation per volume of fluid
61
the equivalency of the solution is based on
the amount of charged solute per volume of fluid
62
intracellular osmolarity =
extracellular osmolarity **these always match, are balanced**
63
what do you take into account when thinking of osmolarity
does it dissociate when placed in this aqueous environment
63
regarding osmosis, if a solute is unable to create a balance, the water (solvent) will move
via osmosis towards the area of high concentration
64
what are the extracellular fluids
Sodium, Calcium, Chloride, Bicarbonate
65
what are the intracellular fluids
Potassium, Proteins, Phosphates
65
what maintains the high concentration of sodium ions outside the cells and high concentration of potassium ions inside of the cells
Na+/K+ pump
66
Would interstitial fluid or plasma have higher osmolarity?
Plasma it has the large MW proteins aka a higher concentration so, higher osmolarity
67
increased osmolarity = what regarding concentration
increase
68
for every existing cation, there is a
corresponding anion
68
in a hypertonic solution, the osmolarity of the solution is
greater than the fluid inside the cell
69
explain electroneutrality
the body fluid compartments must have the same concentration of cations and anions, the body fluid compartments are electroneutral!!!
70
why is the plasma solute concentration higher than that of the interstitial space
because of the Gibbs Donnan effect the negatively charged proteins in the plasma attract sodium ions
71
osmotic solute
dissolves in water
72
Tonic solute
does not penetrate plasma membrane
73
non-tonic solute
penetrates plasma membrane
74
in a hypotonic solution, the osmolarity of the solution is
lower than the inside of the cell
74
isotonic solutions
there is still movement of water into and out of the cell but there is no NET influx of water
75
non-osmotic solute
does not dissolve in water
76
describe what would happen in a hypotonic solution
water would enter the cell by osmosis and the cell would swell and potentially burst
77
what would happen in a hypertonic solution
Water would travel towards the high concentration of non-penetrating solutes outside the cell, leading to shrinkage of the cell
78
an osmotic solute does dissolve in water, but
may or may not be able to penetrate the plasma membrane freely
79
tonic solutes dissolve in water, but
are unable to penetrate the plasma membrane
80
example of tonic solute
Na+
81
example of non-tonic solute
Ethanol
82
will glucose dissociate when placed in a solution
no, so less osmotic force will be exerted
83
Regarding the dilution principle, what is the volume of the intracellular fluid
25 L
84
Regarding the dilution principle, what is the volume of the interstitial fluid
11 L
85
Regarding the dilution principle, what is the volume of the plasma
3 L
86
Regarding the dilution principle, what is the extracellular fluid
interstitial fluid and plasma
87
what is the dilution method used to estimate
body fluid compartment volumes based on the characteristic of the barriers
88
regarding the dilution method, all samples will be
placed into and taken out of the plasma fluid compartment
89
formula for the dilution method
Volume = amount (mg) / final concentration (mg/mL)
90
trilated water
can easily pass through the endothelial cell clefts and plasma membrane to enter all of the body fluid compartments
91
inulin is a
large MW carbohydrate that can pass through the endothelial cell clefts, but is unable to penetrate the plasma membrane
92
Evan's blue dye binds to
albumin (protein), and thus does not pass through the endothelial cell layer or the plasma membrane
93
what would be the expected volume of fluid that tritiated water would equilibrate in
40 L
94
what would be the expected volume of fluid that inulin would equilibrate in the ECF
14 L
95
what would be the expected volume of fluid that EBD would equilibrate in
3 L
96
what do volume-osmolarity diagrams depict
changes in volume on the x-axis changes in osmolarity on the y-axis
