Total body volume________which is _____ of our body weight
40L , 60%
_____comes from the intracellular fluid volume, or _____ of our body weight
25 L, or 40%
______comes from extracellular fluid volume, or ____ of our body weight
15 L, 20%
Give me two extracellular fluid volume
Interstitial fluid volume
Plasma volume
The interstitial fluid volume which comprises ____ or ___ of the ECF volume
12 L, 80%
The plasma volume holds little weight comprising _______ or _____ of ECF
3L, 20%
Refers to the water or fluid that is outside the cells but within the tissues
Interstitial fluid volume
Remaining 3L present in blood vessels
Plasma volume
_____ is the major extracellular cation - among the electrolytes found outside the cells
Sodium
Is the major extracellular anion
Chloride
______ is the major intracellular cation - it has the largest concentration in the cells
Potassium
______ is the major intracellular anion
Phosphate
_____is outside of the cell and ______ is inside the cell
Sodium and Potassium
Concentration of ions is maintained by:
Active transport and diffusion
Requires energy to move ions across the cellular membranes
Molecules move against the concentration gradient
Active transport
Example of active transport
ATPase-dependent Na K ion pumps
In active transport the ions will bind to carrier proteins and carrier proteins will use of _____ in order to allow substance inside and outside the cell
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
In the case of sodium, if it needs to go outside of the cell, the ______ is a good example of active transport
Sodium-potassium pump
For every 3 ions of sodium needed to go outside of the cell there is corresponding entry of ______
2 potassium ions from plasma
If sodium is inside the cell the body will _______if we cannot have _____
The body cannot monitor if we don’t have sodium
_______ is the major contributor of osmolality in the body
Sodium
_______ will be the major indicator if blood volume, plasma volume blood pressure
Sodium
There has to be greater volume of sodium outside the cell because this is where our __________ and ______ depend too
Thirst mechanism will depend and our antidiuretic hormone
If sodium is found outside it will be easily detected by the _________ inside the body
Osmoreceptor
