Water Balance Flashcards
(85 cards)
Osmolyte
Solutes that change the colligative properties of water
Plasmolysis
Shrinking of the cell
Insensible water loss
Losses in exhaled air, through the skin or in feces
Overhydration
greater than normal fluid volume
Causes of hypertonic dehydration
- Respiration
- Sweat (humans)
- Inappropriate production of hypotonic urine
Osmolarity
Concentration of osmolyte
Two types of edema
Generalized
Localized
Concentration (C) = __________.
Concentration (C) = Mass / Volume.
Causes of isotonic dehydration
- Hemorrhage
- Sweat
___________: plasma in the animal is hypotonic, because the gain of water exceeds the gain of osmolyte.
Hypotonic Overhydration: plasma in the animal is hypotonic, because the gain of water exceeds the gain of osmolyte.
_____________________
Increased water, no change in osmolyte = cell swell
Important Anions of Plasma and Interstitium
Cl- and HCO3-
Hypotonic
Solution will cause the cell to swell
Net movement of water eventually results in _______________ pressures.
Net movement of water eventually results in equal but opposing pressures.
_________ pressure decreases dramatically from arteriole to venule
CHP pressure decreases dramatically from arteriole to venule
________ of body water is extracellular water.
20% of body water is extracellular water.
Important cations of the intracellular fluid
K+ and Mg2+
Dehydration
Less than normal fluid volume
Normal osmolarity
286-290 mOm
_____ of extracellular water is plasma water.
4% of extracellular water is plasma water.
Crenation
Term used synonymously with plasmolysis as it occurs in red blood cells
_________ are pressures from interstitium to plasma
Reabsorption are pressures from interstitium to plasma
Decreased PCOP caused by
Starvation
Kidney Disease
Liver Disease
_____________________
Decreased [protein] in plasma, thus decreased water moving into the capillary
Causes of hypotonic overhydration
- Psycogenic
- Excess Reabsorption of water
- Drowning
Cardiac output = ____________.
Cardiac output = Stroke Volume x Heart Rate.
