Davita Final Exam UPDATED ACTUAL
Questions and CORRECT Answers
Explain the four transport mechanisms that play a role in hemodialysis - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- ● Ultrafiltration: Fluid is pushed through a semipermeable membrane.
● Convection: Or solute drag means that solutes move with the water across the
semipermeable membrane. In this way, convection adds to the clearance achieved through
diffusion as solutes are dragged along with the ultrafiltrate.
● Diffusion: Is the movement of dissolved particles across a semipermeable membrane from
the side with the higher concentration to the side with the lower concentration. This
difference in solute concentration on each side of the membrane is called concentration
gradient. The higher the concentration gradient, the faster diffusion occurs. Once the
concentration of a dissolved particle is the same on both sides of the semipermeable
membrane, diffusion stops.
● Osmosis: Is a chemical process by which dissolved chemicals will migrate from an area of
high concentration to one of low
concentration. Essentially if you dissolve something in a liquid, the dissolved compounds
(called solutes) will spread out until there is
an equal concentration of solute everywhere.
