The sum of fluids within all body compartments

Total Body Water (TBW)

Comprises all the fluid within the cell (about 2/3 of TBW)

Intracellular Fluid (ICF)

Term for all the fluid outside the cell (1/3 of TBW)

Extracellular Fluids

The space between cells and outside blood vessels

Interstitial fluid

Blood plasma is considered as

Intravascular fluid

Facilitates the outward movement of water from the capillary to the interstitial space

Capillary hydrostatic pressure (Blood Pressure)

Osmotically attracts water from the interstitial space back into the capillary

Capillary (Plasma) oncotic pressure

Facilitates the inward movement of water from the interstitial space into the capillary

Interstitial hydrostatic pressure

Osmotically attracts water from the capillary into the interstitial space

Interstitial oncotic pressure

Term for the accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space

Edema

Mosquito bite is considered as

Localized edema

Edema in lungs is termed as

Pleural effusion

Edema in the heart is termed as

Pericardial effusion

Edema in the peritoneum is termed as

Ascites

Term for generalized edema

Anasarca

Edema in the feet is called

Pitting edema

Effect of this hormone is fluid retention (won't peeee)

Antidiuretic hormone

What is RAAS

Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System

It is the natural antagonist of RAAS

Natriuretic Peptides

Angiotensin 2 is a

Vasoconstrictor

It is the tendency of biological systems to MAINTAIN relatively constant condition in the body

Homeostasis

The fluid intake is NOT sufficient is called

Fluid volume deficit

Fluid intake EXCEEDS the fluid needs of the body

Fluid Volume Excess

It is the diffusion of water cased by fluid gradient

Osmosis

It is the ability of solutes to cause osmotic driving forces

Tonicity

Reflects the concentration of fluid that affects the movement of water between fluid compartments by osmosis

Osmolarity

It is the amount of hydrostatic pressure needed to stop the flow of water by osmosic

Osmotic pressure

Decrease of water volume in the blood is called

Hypovolemia

Loss of 1-2 L of water (2% of Body weight) is called

Mild dehydration

Loss of 3-5 L of water (5% of body water)

Moderate Dehydration

Loss of 5-10 L of water (8% of body weight)

Severe Dehydration

When there is excessive fluid loss give...

Flurosemide

Fever, hyperglycaemia, burns, blood loss are signs of

Hypovolemia

These are for the reabsorption of water and SODIUM (2)

ADH and ALDOSTERONE

Weight loss, Increase thirst, Decrease of Urine Output, decrease in BP, and Flat jugular veins are signs of

Dehydration

A sudden change in position, decrease in BP is termed as

Postural hypotension

Less tham 30ml/hour of urine output is called

Oliguria

Increase in vascular system is called

Hypervolemia

Increase in Interstitial space is callee

Third spacing or Edema

Iso-osmolar (isotonic) fluid volume excess causes (2)

Fluid overloading and failure to excrete fluid

Massive water retention is called

Anasarca

Decrease transport of proteins is called

Lymphatic Obstruction

Fluid imbalance depends on...

SODIUM and its anions

What are the Anions of Sodium

Chloride and Bicarbonate

Hyper osmolar imbalance is also known as

Hypertonic Imbalance

Hypo Osmolar is also known as

Hypotonic Imbalance (water intoxication)

ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCE:


Chemicals that carry electrical charges are called

Electrolytes (duuuh)

Main organ that works to keep electrolyte concentration in the blood constant

Kidneys

Normal range for Sodium

135-145 mEq/L

It is the most common electrolyte disorder (>135 mEq/L)

Hyponatremia

It is associated with water loss or sodium gain (<145 mEq/L)

Hypernatremia

Where the salt is...

Water moves in to maintain water balance

This electrolyte if high decreases the myocardial contractility

Hypernatremia

This electrolyte is for normal nerve conduction and muscle functions

Potassium

Term for low in potassium (>3.5 mEq/L)

Hypokalemeia

Elevation of potassium is called (<5 mEq/L)

Trousseaus's Sign

High in potassium (>5.5 mEq/L)

Hypercalcemia

This condition might cause hypercalcemia due to high in P.thyroid hormone
