what is required in the form of ATP, which is produced by the cells mitochondria | External Energy |
Osmosis * REQUIRES NO ENERGY* | movement of water between two compartments by a membrane (semi-permeable) to water but not to solute |
osmolarity | amount of pressure required to stop osmotic flow of water |
The presence of protein in the intravascular fluid creates a pressure called *WHAT* whose function is to hold water in within the compartment | Colloid Osmotic Pressure |

Three hormones that play a vital role in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance | ADH * ALDOSTERONE * PARATHRYOID HORMONE |
Produced and stored in the hypothalamus but released from the posterior pituitary gland | ADH |
Acts on the renal tubules to retain water and to decrease urinary output | ADH |
secreted by the adrenal cortex and acts on the renal tubules to reabsorb sodium and excrete potassium | ALDOSTERONE |
Increases circulatory volume by reabsorbing water along with sodium | ALDOSTERONE |
produced by the parathyroid and promotes absorption of Calcium from the intestine | Parathryoid Hormone |
Promotes release of calcium from the bone and increases the excretion of phosphate ions from th kidney | Parathryoid Hormone |
What is the site of action for ADH and ALDOSTERONE | renal tubules |

what activity can lead to signigicant fluid and electrolyte loss | diarrhea and vomitting |
reduced thirst mechanism leads to | decreased fluid intake |
what is determined by the total number of particles dissolved in a UNIT OF SOLVENT | osmolarity |
what is the normal osmolarity of the body fluid | 300 milimoles per kg of water |
ISOMOLAR | same osmolarity as body fluids |
Hypo-Osmolar | less osmolarity than body fluids |
Hyperosmolarity | greater osmolarity than body fluids |
a loss of water in EXCESSSSSSS equals | dehydration |
ECF (extracellular) fluid volume deficit | hypovolemia |
hypovolemia | abnormal loss of normal body fluids ie: diarrhea, fistula drainage, hemorrhage) |
treatment for hypovolemia | replace water and electrolytes with balanced IV solutions |
Another name for extracellular fluid deficit | Iso-osmolar fluid deficit |
sodium ions constitute most of the osmolarity of extracellular fluid. If *BOTH* water and sodium are lost the result is......extracellular fluid becomes depleated and circulatory blood volume is decreased | Iso-osmolar volume loss |
Iso-osmolar fluid volume loss causes what conditions/ | Hemorrhage, GI losses, profuse diaphoresis |
Nursing interventions for Isoosmolar fluid deficit | postural vital signs |
Hyperosmotic | when more water is lost from the body than sodium or other electrolytes ORRRRR when intake is inadequate to replace normal losses then the extracellular fluid becomes.... |
When water moves out of the cell by OSMOSIS to dilute extracellular fluid what can occur | cellular dehydration |
nursing interventions for hypersomplarity | mouth care, safety, I&O |
fluid volume excess | hypervolemia |
Hypo-osmolar fluid EXCESS | excess of H2O without an increase in electrolytes. Water enters the cell through osmosis causing the cell to swell |
Occurs when fluid intake EXCEEDS kidney excretion | Hypo-Osmolarity |
When would you see excessive amounts of ADH | acute stress, trauma, or surgery |
Low blood flow is seen | CHF or renal insufficiency |
anasarca | term used for accumulation of large amounts of fluid in all body tissues |
Thiazides | block sodium reabsorption by the renal tubules ie: chlorothiazied and hydrochlorothiazide |
Loop Diuretics | act on the Loop of Henle: Lasix, Edecrin, Bumex |
Aldosterone antagonist = potassium saver | aldactone |
if EDEMA is caused by decreased intravascular ONCOTIC pressure then what is given | Albumin |
No single electrolyte can be out of balance without what result occuring | all other electrolytes being out of balance |
Na - K - Ca are all essential for? | passage of nerve impulses. Any increase of decrease of these substances is reflected in the stimulation of muscles or nerves |
