Fluids
Sweating, urination, vomiting, and diarrhea
What are ways that the body can lose water?
The pumping of the heart creates this pressure in the capillary.
What is hydrostatic pressure?
Common causes of this condition include: vomiting, poor oral fluid intake, and sweating
What is dehydration?
This hormone is also known as vasopressin.
What is antidiuretic hormone (ADH)?
This electrolyte imbalance occurs when there is too little sodium in the blood.
What is hyponatremia?
Elderly and young people.
Who are most affected by fluctuations in water volume changes?
This pressure comes from the plasma proteins that draw water.
This condition occurs when there is excessive accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space.
What is edema?
This hormone is synthesized in the atria of the heart and promotes diuresis and natriuresis.
What is atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH)?
This electrolyte imbalance occurs when there is too much potassium in the blood.
What is hyperkalemia?
These are the four fluid compartments of the body.
What are intracellular fluid, extracellular fluid, interstitial fluid, and intravascular fluid?
This pressure is also known as blood pressure.
What is capillary hydrostatic pressure?
This condition occurs when there is too much fluid in the body, particularly in the blood.
What is hypervolemia?
Juxtaglomerular cells release this special enzyme in the kidneys to begin a chain reaction that regulates blood pressure.
What is renin?
This electrolyte imbalance nearly always coexists with hypokalemia and hypocalemia.
What is hypomagnesemia?
What are diffusion and osmosis?
This pressure moves fluid from the interstitial space back into the capillary.
What is interstitial hydrostatic pressure?
This condition occurs when lymphatic channels are blocked or removed causing proteins and fluid to accumulate in the interstitial space.
What is lymphedema?
The adrenal gland releases this hormone to the kidneys in order to hold more water and increase the heart's stroke volume.
What is aldosterone?
This electrolyte imbalance will have lab results that will be above 145 mEq/L
What is hypernatremia?
This mechanism of the movement of substances moves against a concentration gradient or across a semipermeable membrane.
What is active transport?
This pressure is the force that pulls fluid out of capillaries into the interstitial space due to proteins in the interstitial space.
What is interstitial oncotic pressure?
This condition is characterized by a reduction in blood plasma volume, or a decrease in the volume of extracellular fluid.
What is hypovolemia?
This gland releases ADH.
This electrolyte imbalance is seen in metabolic alkalosis.
What is hypokalemia?
