100

135-145

What is Sodium

100

Moves from a Higher concentration to one of lower concentrations.

What is Diffusion?

100

Has a Low concentration of K+ and can only tolerate small changes in K+ concentrate

What is ECF 

100

1-2L per day

What is the usual Daily Urine Volume 

200

3.5-5.0

What is K+ or Potassium

200

Movement of water & solutes from high hydrostatic pressure to an area of low hydrostatic pressure

What is Filtration

200

The amount go hydrostatic pressure needed to stop the flow of water by Osmosis

What is Osmotic pressure

200

 Na, CL,& K+  (can loose up to 1000cc/hr in sweat)

What are the chief solutes in sweat?

300

98-106

What is Chloride 

300

The diffusion of H2o caused by fluid concentration gradient.

What is Osmosis

300

It is the Osmotic pressure exerted by Albumin (proteins)

What is Oncotic pressure

300

Continous water loss by evaporation (500cc/day,  through skin, a nonviable form of water loss. 

What are insensible losses

400

8.5-10.5

What is Ca or Calcium

400

The ability of ALL solutes to cause an osmotic driving force that promotes water movement from one compartments to another

What is tonicity?

400

It is the increase in urine output caused by the excretion of substances, such as Flu-, mannitol or contrast agents in the urine.

What is Osmotic diuresis

400

looses 100-200ml fluid through GI system as the fluid is reabsorbed in the small intestine.

What is the usual daily GI losses

500

1.8-3.0

What is Mg or Magnesium

500

PRESSURE EXERTED BY THE FLUID ON THE WALLS OF THE BLOOD VESSEL

500

=60% of body weight

What is Total body water (40% intracellular & 20% Extracellular

500

A water vapor insensible loss of 300ml/day

What the lungs normal eliminate each day
