Fluid And Electrolytes Quiz 5

Front 1

Acid

Back 1

Solution containing a high number of hydrogen ions

Front 2

Acid-Base Balance

Back 2

Homeostasis of the hydrogen ion concentration of the body fluids

Front 3

Active Transport

Back 3

Movement of solutes across membranes; requires the expenditure of energy

Front 4

Base

Back 4

Solution containing a lower number of hydrogen ions

Front 5

Diffusion

Back 5

Random movement of particles in all directions through a solution

Front 6

Electrolyte

Back 6

Substance that develops an electrical charge when dissolved in water

Front 7

Extracellular Fluid

Back 7

Fluid outside the cell

Front 8

Filtration

Back 8

Transfer of water and solutes through a membrane from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure

Front 9

Fluid Volume Deficit

Back 9

Abnormally decreased volume of body water; 2 types: isotonic extracellular fluid deficit(hypovolemia) and hypertonic extracellular fluid deficit (dehydration)

Front 10

Fluid Volume Excess

Back 10

Abnormally increased volume of body water; 2 types: extracellular fluid excess (isotonic fluid excess) and intracellular water excess (hypotonic fluid excess)

Front 11

Homeostasis

Back 11

Tendency of the biologic system to maintain stability of the internal environment while continually adjusting to changes necessary for survival

Front 12

Intracellular Fluid

Back 12

Fluid within the cell

Front 13

Osmolality

Back 13

Concentration of a solution; is measured as the number of dissolved particles per kilogram of water

Front 14

Osmolarity

Back 14

Concentration of a solution; is measured as the number of dissolved particles per liter of solution

Front 15

Osmosis

Back 15

Movement of water across a membrane from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution

Front 16

Selectively Permeable Membrane

Back 16

Membranes that separate fluid compartments of the body and regulate movement of water and certain solutes from one compartment to another
