RAA

ICF

Intercellular- inside the cell 2/3 body fluid

ECF

Extracellular outside the cell 1/3 the body fluid

CSF

cerebral spinal fluid in the brain and spinalcord spaces

Lymph

Lymphatic system

ECF is very important related to a balance of?

Blood pressure.A lack o fluid causes a decrease in the transfer of nutrients, low b/p and low oxygen delivery. This can cause Hypovolemic shock.

how is Hypovolemic shock treated

iv isotonic solutions STAT.

Too much of ECF can cause what?

high b/p leading to a stroke or CHF- Congestive Heart Failure

ADH

Antidiuretic Hormone

ADH tell the body to do what?

Abosorb fluid- the more secreted the more fluid is absorbed. The less ADH secreted the lesser amount are aobsorbed.

When is ADH released?

when low or decreased volume of fluid s detected in the CV system or an increase or decrease of Na in lasma. It regulates the amount of water tht is reabsorbed.

an increase of ADH will decrease what?

urine Production because more water is big absorbed by the kidneys- THis maintains B/P or increase B\P if it is too low.

If you are low on fluid the ADH will do what?

the Secretions wil be more thereby the kidneys will not pee off urine in order to keep fluid balanced. ADH primarily controls water reabsorption.

ANP

Atrial natricuretic peptide- secreted by the right atrium of the heart, telling the kidneys to excrete fluids because of an overload.

When is ANP released and why?

Its released when the heart detects a fluid overload and knows it will have to pump harder so in an attempt to conserve its work and correct the volume overload ANP promotes kidney excretions dierisis of both soduim and water to lower the excessive fluid volume and B/P
