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...

DTech N1030 Exam 4 Summary for Exam Review. Success guaranteed What are electrolytes? Minerals: Essential minerals in the body that have an electrical charge What minerals are considered electrolytes? Sodium Potassium Calcium Magnesium Phosphorus Chloride What are the Body Fluid Compartments? Intracellular Fluid (ICF): 40% body weight Extracellular Fluid (ECF): 20% Body weight Intravascular Fluid (Plasma): 20% of ECF Interstitial Fluid (between cells): 80% of ECF Transcellular Fl...

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...
