Fluids and electrolyte balance ivolves composition and movement of
Body Fluids
Body fluids are solutions composed of
Water and Solutes
Body water refers to
Water alone
Refers to the state of internal equilibrium within the body when all body systems are in balance
Homeostasis
Liquids containing dissolved subtances
Solutions
Liquid that contains a substance in a solution
Solvents
Substances dissolved in a solution
Solutes
Solutions are classified according to their
Concentration and Tonicity
Solution which has less osmotic pressure externally as that found across the semi-permeable membrane within the cell
Isotonic solution
Examples of Isotonic Solution
Normal Saline 0.9%
D5W
Lactated Ringers
Normosol R
Body fluid is this type of solution
Isotonic Solution
Solution which has less osmotic than that of blood serum causing cells to expand and swell
Hypotonic Solution
Example of Hypotonic Solution
Sodium Chloride 0.45%
Solution which has higher osmotic pressure than that of blood serum causing cells to shrink
Hypertonic Solution
Examples of Hypertonic Solution
D5% in Saline
D10% in Saline
D5% in 1/2 strength saline
D20% in Water
Body consists of
Lean tissue, Fat, and Water
Lean portion are primarily
Muscle mass and has about 75% water
Fat tissues is essential
ANHYDROUS (no water)
In women, body water accounts for
45-50% of total body weight
In men, body water accounts for
60% of total body weight
In infant, body water accounts for
80% of total body weight
Fluid within the cell
Intracellular Fluid (ICF)
All the fluids outside the cell wall
Extracellular Fluid (ECF)
Refers to fluid between or surrounds the cell
Interstitial Fluid
