The human body is (blank) percent water.
69 percent water
Name the percentage of water to the following organs: Brain, liver and blood.
Brain 85 percent
Liver 90 percent
Blood 83 percent
What does water help to regulate?
Fluid Balance, Electrolyte balance, acid-base (pH) balance.
Name the two water compartments of the body.
Intracellular or ICW (inside the cell), Extracellular or ECW(outside the cell)
Water that is outside the blood vessels and between the cells is called:
intersticial
Water inside the blood vessels is called:
Intravascular
How does water move between compartments?
Water travels through the capilliaries to deliver nutrients to the interstitial space through filtration or pressure.

Water moves from interstitial space to the intracellular space through osmosis.

Water can also return to the vascular space by the lymphatic system.
Describe isotonic, Hypotonic and hypertonic:
Isotonic is solution with the same salt concentration as the cells.

Hypotonic is a solution with lower salt concentration than the cells.

Hypertonic is a solution with a higher salt concentration than the cells.
What are osmoreceptors?
Receptors that detect a fluid deficit and triggers 'thirst".
How much water does the average person require?
2500 mL per day.
How much water per day does Cellular Respiration provide?
about 300 mL
How much water does ingested foods provide?
about 1000 mL
How much water must be ingested each day on the average.
1200 mL
What is pH chemically?
The measurement of H+ (hydrogen) ions in a solution.
What pH is water?
7.0
Which direction does the pH scale go to be more acidic?
Lower, toward zero.
What are the normal pH ranges of body fluid?
7.35 to 7.45
A pH level below 7.35 is called (blank).
Acidotic or acidosis
A pH level above 7.45 is called (blank).
Alkalosis
Hypoventilation will eventually cause (blank).
Respiratory Acidosis
Hyperventilation will eventually result in (blank).
Respiratory Alkalosis.
Accumulation of metabolic acids is called (blank).
metabolic acidosis.
What is considered to be a safe reading level on the pulse oxymetry?
95 percent or higher
A patient under (blank) percent should be given supplimental oxygen.
95 percent
Any patient under (blank) would be considered to be in respiratory distress.
90 percent.
Co2 can be measured with a (blank)
capnometer
The amount of carbon dioxide that is eliminated with each breath is referred to as:
End-tidal Co2
abrieveated as ET CO2
Any ETCO2 below 35 mm Hg is by definaition (hyper or hypo) ventilation?
Hyperventilation
Any ETCOT above 45 mmHg is (hyper or hypo) ventilation?
Hypoventilation
The body regulates pH thru a (blank) system.
Buffer
