Filtration
Diffusion
Osmosis
2 types Filtration
Hydrostatic Pressure
Disequilibrium
Hydrostatic Pressure
created my the pumping action of the heart and gravity against the capillary wall
Disequilibrium
loss or lack of equilibrium disequilibrium in a resting nerve cell
Diffusion
process by which solute molecules move from one area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration
2 types of diffusion
facilitated diffusion
active transport
facilitated diffusion
(carrier mediated diffusion) allows large waater soluable molecules, such as glucose and amino acids to diffuse across cell membranes
active transport
the movement of ions or molecules across a cellular membrane from a lower to a higher concentration, requiring the consumption of energy.
Osmosis
water moves from low solute to high solute
Osmotic pressure
important to keep fluids balanced in the body
Normal Fluid Balance in the body..
270-310 milli osmols
Isotonic Pressure
(equal) have the same concentration of solutes as plasma. Cells will neither shrink nor swell because there is no net gain or loss of water with in the cell, no change in the cell volume
Hypertonic Pressure
have greater concentration of solutes than plasma, water is drawn out of teh cell causing it to shrink
Hypotonic Pressure
have a lower solute concentration than plasma, When RBC's are placed in a hypotonic solution water moves into the cells, causing them to swell and rupture.
