shifting fluid and e- from one component to another
2/3 of bodies fluid; found within cells
made up of intravascular, transcellular, & interstitial fluid. 1/3 of bodies fluid
examples include sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium
examples include chloride, phosphate, bicarbonate, and sulfate
salts that dissolve in true solutions
large protein molecules which do not dissolve
regulated by kidneys, cardiovascular, respiratory, and immune systems
largely controls & regulates water balance. most abundant in ECF. maintains blood volume.
most abundant in ICF. important for skeletal, cardiac, & smooth muscle. involved in acid-base & intracellular enzyme reactions
in skeletal system important for muscle contraction and relaxation, neuromuscular, & cardiac function. regulated by parathyroid
responsible for intracellular metabolism, ATP, DNA, and protein synthesis. ECF - neuromuscular & cardiac function (important for cardiac disorders)
functions with and follows Na. regulates blood volume & osmolality. aids in acid-base balance. Buffer in O2 & CO2 exchange in RBCs.
mainly in ICF, but in ECF, bones, skeletal muscle, & nerve tissue. Aids in muscle, nerve, RBC function & metabolism of protein, fat, and carbs.
fluid which shifts volume from ICF to ECF which expands
fluid which expands ICF. used for cellular dehydration. used with caution.
accumulation of body fluid in the interstitial space
pressure that pushes fluid out of its compartment "fluid pushing"
pressures that pulls fluid into its compartment "fluid pulling"
increases reabsorption of sodium by the distal tubule of nephron
