NU545 CHAPTER 3 EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS GRADED A++ LATEST

UPDATE

extracellular fluid


interstitial fluid, plasma, intravascular fluid, CSF, sweat, urine, etc.


store less fat, higher metabolic rates, and greater evaporative loss


why are infants more susceptible to significant total body water loss


renal


what mechanisms are not mature enough that regulate fluid and electrolyte conservation; leads to

dehydration


adipose cells


individuals with more body fat have proportionately less total body water because very little water is

contained here


hydrophobic


is fat hydrophobic or hydrophillic?


total body water


this declines with age due to increased fat, decreased muscle, and by the reduced ability to regulate

sodium and water

, albumin


plasma protein that is primarily responsible for the plasma oncotic pressure because of its high

concentration


starvation or malnutrition


because of these phenomenons, the lower levels of plasma proteins cause fluid to move into the

interstitial space and results in edema


edema


excessive accumulation of fluid within interstitial spaces; does not always indicate fluid excess since it is

often a probolem of fluid distribution


aquaporins


a family of water channel proteins that facilitate the passage of water freely via diffusion


osmosis


how water moves between the ICF and ECF compartments


starling hypothesis


Net filtration is equal to the forces favoring filtration minus the forces opposing filtration


forces favoring filtration


Capillary hydrostatic pressure (blood pressure) and interstitial oncotic pressure (water pulling)


forces opposing filtration


capillary (plasma) oncotic pressure and interstitial hydrostatic pressure
