Transcellular transport - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Total body water -Involves ICF (fluid within the cells) -Involves ECF (fluid outside the cells) ECF Intravascular Interstitial Transcellular Sodium is the chief solute in ECG and the primary determinant of ECG volume Water Balance -under normal conditions the amount of water ingested closely approximates the amount of urine excreted in a 24-hour period -Water if food and from oxidation closely approximates the amount lost in feces and through evaporation Mechanism of Fluid Movement -hydrostat...

Fluid and Electrolyte balance The process of regulating the extracellular fluid volume, body fluid osmolality, and plasma concentration of electrolytes What is fluid? Fluid is water plus the substances dissolved and suspended in it What are the characteristics of Fluid & Electrolyte balance? 1. Volume (amount) 2. Concentration (osmolarity) Intracellular Fluid (ICF) fluid inside cells 63-70% of TBW Water, proteins, electrolytes Extracellular Fluid (ECF) Fluid outside cells 30-37% of TBW Intra...

Water ~60% of average healthy adult's weight - total amount affected by gender, body size - transports nutrients, waste products - lubricant, insulator, shock absorber - regulates body temperature Intracellular Fluid (ICF) - fluid within cells - 2/3 of total body fluid in adults - contains solutes: oxygen, electrolytes, glucose Previous Play Next Rewind 10 seconds Move forward 10 seconds Unmute -- / -- Full screen Brainpower Read More ICF Cations potassium a...

Fluid/Electrolytes & Acid Base Final Exam Questions Correctly Answered. Define solute - CORRECT ANSWER A solute is a solid substance dissolved in body fluids. Define intracellular fluid - CORRECT ANSWER (ICF) fluid contained within the cells Define extracellular fluid - CORRECT ANSWER (ECF) fluid outside the cells. ECF consists of three types of fluid: interstitial, intravascular, and transcellular fluid. Define electrolyte - CORRECT ANSWER An electrolyte is a substance that develops...

How much of the body's water is intracellular? 2/3 How much of the body's water is extracellular? 1/3 Interstitial: 75% Intravascular: 25% Smaller amountsL sweat, urine, transcellular Populations susceptible to dehydration: Pediatric and geriatric Net filtration forces favoring filtration minus forces opposing filtration Aquaporins small pores in cells that allow for water transport across plasma membrane Solute Electrolytes/proteins Solvent Water/plasms Osmolarity Concentration of osmo...
