(51 cards)
water is what percent of adult body weight
50-60%
water is what percent of newborns body weight
75%
intracellular fluid is what percent of total body fluid
65%
extracellular fluid is what percent of total body fluid
35%
interstitial is
fluid between cells
interstitial fluid percent of extracellular fluid
26%
intravascular fluid percent of extracellular fluid
9%
(blood)
water function
- component of all body tissues providing structure and form
- solvent for nutrients and waste to transport them
- component of blood plasma
needed for hydrolysis and digestion - lubricates joints
- absorbs shock
- body temp
daily fluid intake for adult (ingested)
1,500ml
daily fluid intake for adult (foods)
700ml
daily fluid intake for adult (oxidation)
200ml
daily fluid intake for adult (total)
2,400ml
fluid and electrolyte balance in body contributes to
homeostasis - water lost is replaces
electrolytes are measured in
milliequivalents
Sensible (noticeable)
water loss through urine
Insensible (unnoticeable)
feces, perspiration, respiration
how much water should be excreted through urine every day
500mL
osmosis is movement of water from what to what
less concentrated fluid to more concentrated
which electrolytes maintain water balance
Na, Cl, K
main electrolyte for ICF
K
main electrolyte for ECF
Na
osmolarity means
number of particles in solution
what happens when more electrolytes in ICF than ECF
cellular edema (water goes from ecf -> icf)
adrenal glands -> aldosterone -> absorbs Na -> water ICF to ECF -> relieve edema
area at base of brain that regulates appetite and thirst
hypothalamus
