water and electrolyte balance and imbalance

Question 1

total body water in adults

Answer 1

60-70% 36L to 49L

Question 2

two compartments of body fluid

Answer 2

interstitial fluid

and extra cellular fluid

Question 3

intercellular fluid ? and its %

plasma

Answer 6

fluid present in blood and heart

it is 5% and 3L

interstitial fluid

Answer 7

15% and 11L

Question 8

what is interstitial fluid and its L and percenatge of total body fluid

Answer 8

actual fluid around the cell

4L AND Its 7.5 % of total body fluid

Question 9

transcellular fluid

Answer 9

formed by secretory and transport activity like salivary glands, pancreas, liver and biliary tract, lumen of GIT
aqueous humour, CSF spinal canal and ventricles of brain

Question 10

4 subdivision of ecf

Answer 10

1. plasma
2. inertstital and lymph fluid
3. fluid of dense connective tissue, cartilage and bones
4. transcellular fluid

Question 11

electrolytes are

Answer 11

KCL NACL which dissociate into water as NA and K and CL ions

Question 12

anions and cations

Answer 12

anions are -

cations are +

Question 13

organic large substances

Answer 13

proteins which just have the affect on water of the transfer of fluid from one compartment to the other and not the total body water

Question 14

inorganic electrolytes

Answer 14

by far the most important in distribution and retention of water in the body

Question 15

cations mEq/L in plasma

Answer 15

na= 143
ca= 5
K = 5
mg= 2 
total= 155

Question 16

cations mEq/L in tissue fluid

Answer 16

na= 145
K=5
mg=2
ca=3
Total= 155

Question 17

anions Meq/L in plasma

Answer 17

cl= 103
hco3= 27
hpo4= 2
so4= 1
protein= 16
organic acids= 7
total= 155

Question 18

anions in tissue fluid

Answer 18

cl= 116
hco3= 27
hpo4= 3
so4= 2
protein= 1
organic acids= 6 
total= 155

Question 19

electrolyte composition of ICF

Answer 19

196 mEql of anions and cations

Question 20

anions and cations present in ICF

Answer 20

cations = K and Mg
which are balanced by anions
anions= PO4 and Pr

Question 21

cat and an present in icf in small amount

Answer 21

Na, HCO3, cl and na

Question 22

phosphate present in icf

Answer 22

phosphoric esters of hexones, creatinine phosphate, Atp and inorganic phosphatase

Question 23

cations in ICF

Answer 23

k= 150
mg = 40
na= 5 
total = 195

Question 24

anions in ICF

Answer 24

HPO4= 110
protein= 50
so4= 20
HCO3= 10
Cl= 5

Question 25

MEMBRANE seperating ICF from tissue fluid

Answer 25

its semi permeable and its called slow membrane
allows movement of water only (no electrolytes and proteins)
water moves from lower osmotic pressure to higher osmotic pressure and until equilibrium

Question 26

fast membrane

Answer 26

membrane separating the vascular compartments from icf
