Water accounts for what % in your body? and were is it mostly found?
|
Water accounts for 99% of the volume of the fluds outside cells and is an essential ingridient of cytoplasm."MOST OF YOUR BODY WT IS FLUIDS"
|
|
Extracellur Fluid where is it found? ECF?

|
Stabalizing the volume, solute concentrations, and pH of the ECF and ICF involves three interrelated processes:
|
1. Fluid Balance
2. Electrolyte Balance 3. Acid-Base Balance |
|
FLUID BALANCE: what are the primary source of water gain and lost?
|
Digestive System is the source of water gain.

|
You are in Acid-Base balance when?
|
the production of hydrogen ions in your body is precisely offset by their loss. When the balance exists, the pH of body fluids remains within normal limits.

what moves water across cell memb? |
all movement across cell memb & epithelia occurs passively, in response to osmotic gradient established by the active transport of specific ions , such as (sodium and chloride)
"Water follows Salt" |
|
The body's content of water or electrolytes will rise if dietary gains exceed losses to the environment, and will fall if losses exceed gains.

administering diuretics and infusing a concentrated salt solution.
That promotes a fluid shift for the ICF to the ECF and returns Na+ concentration to near-normal levels. |
|
Fluid shifts occur rapidly in response to change in the osmotic conc of the ECF and reaches Equilibrium within min to hours: (2 ways)
|
1. If the Osmotic Concentration of the ECF Increases, the fluid will become Hypertonic with respect to the ICF
2. If the Osmotic Concentration of the ECF Decreases, that fluid will become Hypotonic with respect to the ICF. |
