NUR 339 Fluids1. intracellular fluid
Answer
majority of the fluids in the body
2. diffusion
Answer
movement of particles high to low
3. osmosis
Answer
water high concentration to low
4. passive transport
Answer
does not require energy for movement to occur high to low
5. active transport
Answer
requires energy for movement to occur low to high
6. Osmolarity
Answer
number of milliosmoles of solute per 1 kg of water
7. tonicity
Answer
ability of solutes to cause an osmotic gradient that promotes water movement
-refers to sodium chloride concentration
-determines by how it compares to normal blood concentration three types
, Answer
isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic
8. isotonic solutions
Answer
equal to blood concentration
-solute and water balanced
no net movement of fluid between ECF and ICF remains balanced, no change in cells
9. hypertonic solutions
Answer
concentrated blood concentration
-ECF more concentrated
-concentrated vascular space pulls fluid cells to blood
-net movement of fluid from ICF to ECF
-cell size shrinks due to fluid loss
10. hypotonic solutions
Answer
dilute blood concentration
-ECF less concentrated
-more water than solute
-pressure gradient goes from ECF to ICF
-cell size increases due to fluid increase
11. capillary hydrostatic pressure
Answer
pressure exerted by the fluids against the blood vessel walls
-reflects BP
-pressure is higher at arterial end, lower at venous
12. filtration
