|
Intravascular |
Fluid within the blood vessels |
|
|
Interstitial |
Fluid in the spaces surrounding the cells |
|
|
Diffusion |
The process by which substances move back and forth across the membrane until they are evenly distributed throughout the available space substances move from high to low concentration to low concentration on both sides of the membrane is equal |
|
|
Osmosis |
The movement of pure solvent across a membrane Water diffuses by osmosis when there are differences and concentration of fluid in the various compartments water moves from the area of Lysol solute concentration to an area of Greater concentration to low Solutions in the compartments are of equal concentration |
|
|
Isotonic |
Living cells are surrounded by a solution that has the same concentration of particles the water concentration of the intracellular fluid in the extracellular fluids will be equal |
|
|
Hypertonic |
Cells are surrounded by a solution that has a greater concentration of solute in the cells the water in the cells moves to the more concentrated solution and the cells dehydrated drink |
|
|
Hypotonic |
The cells are surrounded by a solution that has less solute than cells |
|
|
Hydrostatic pressure |
The pumping action of the heart creates hydrostatic pressure pressure exerted by fluids |
|
|
Active transport |
Requires cellular energy this force can move molecules into cells regardless of their electrical charge or the concentration already in the cell's active transport move substances from an area of low concentration to an area of higher concentration |
|
|
Vitamin |
Organic compounds essential to proper function of the body vitamins are classified as fat soluble or water soluble |
|
|
Minerals |
Inorganic substances contain in animals and plants are essential for metabolic and cellular function minerals are categorized as major minerals or trace minerals |
