What are the 3 types of extracellular fluid?
Interstitial
Intervascular
transcellular
what endocrine organ controls the thirst mechanism?
hypothalamus
What is the function of ADH?
controls the amt of fluid leaving the body in the urine
What is the function of aldosterone?
determines the reabsorption of both Na+ ions and H2O from the kidney tubules.
What is hydrostatic pressure?
The pressure which is exerted on a portion of a column of H2O as a result of the weight of the fluid abot it.
The process whereby fluids pass through a filter or a filtering medium. The act of changing a fluid by passing it through a filter.
Filtration
the movement of particles from and are of high concentration to and area of low concentration.
Diffusion
The movement of H2O through a semi-permeable membrane.
Osmosis
When a cell expends energy to move molecules or ions aross a membrane.
Active Transport
When there is an equal amt of sol'n inside and outisde the cell, so the cell has reached equilibrium.
Isotonic
When there will be a greater amt outside the cells than inside, the cell equilibrium will move in balance, which will make the cell swell.
Hypotonic
There is more sol'n inside the cell than outside, which means the sol'n will move out, making the cell shrivel up.
Hypertonic
What are the 4 general causes of edema and a disease that represents each?
1. Inceased capillary hydrostatic pressure, forcing excessive amts of fluid out and prevents return of the interstitial compartment
EX: Pulmonary edema
2. Loss of plasma protiens, reducing plasma osmotic pressure.
EX: Kidney disease
3. Obstruction of lymphatic circulation, restrictingthe return of excess fluid and protien to the gen. circulation.
EX: Damage to Lymphnodes
4. Inceased capillary permiability-as in inflammation, resulting in fluid and protien movement into the interstitial compartment.

Dehydration
A situation in which fluid shifts out of the blood and into a body cavity or tissue where it's no longer available as a circulating fluid.
Third Spacing
An increase in hydrogen ions or a decrease in serum pH which can result either from an increase in CO2 (acid) levels due to respiratory problems or from a decrease HCO3- (base) ions b/c of metabolic or renal problems.
Acidosis
An increase in serum pH or decreased hydrogen ions.
