|---|---|
| This is the most abundant body compound. | Water |
| Water is 80% in the body of a... | Newborn Infant |
| Water is 63% in the body of an adult... | Male |
| Water is 52% in the body of an adult... | Female |
| The largest fluid compartment of the body, located inside cells, serves as a solvent to facilitate intracellular chemical reactions. | Intracellular fluid |
| This is called the internal environment of the body; surrounds cells and transports substances to and from them. | Extracellular Fluid |
| This is aka as intravascular fluid; has noncellular portion of blood. | Plasma |
| This fluid is located in the tissue spaces between the cells with a lower relative osmotic pressure than plasma. | Interstitial Fluid |
| This fluid is separated from other extracellular fluid by a layer of epithelium. | Transcellular Fluid |
| This refers to the osmotic pressure of any solution relative to the osmotic pressure of plasma; has 3 types. | Tonicity |
| This type of solution have the same effective osmotic pressure as that of plasma. | Isotonic |
| This type of solution have an osmotic pressure that is lower than that of plasma and will cause cells to swell and eventually burst. | Hypotonic |
| This is another word for 'cells excessively swelling and bursting'. | Hemolyze |
| This type of solution have a higher osmotic pressure than that of plasma and will cause cells to shrink. | Hypertonic |
| This is another word for 'cells shrinking'. | Crenate |
| This is the pressure exerted by fluids; constantly forces fluid from plasma through the capillary membrane into the interstitial fluid. | Hydrostatic Pressure |
| This is a solution's potential pressure caused by nondiffusible solute particles in the solution; pressure needed to stop osmosis. | Osmotic Pressure |
| This is when the extracellular fluid becomes hypertonic and the result can be that fluid shifts from the cell toward the extracellular fluid. | Dehydration |
| This is when the extracellular fluid becomes hypertonic and fluid will shift to the inside of the cell; also called water intoxication. | Hyperhydration |
| This type of metabolism produces some water. | Oxidative |
| This is when water is lost in urine, feces, and sweat, and by evaporation from the skin and lungs. | Water output |
| This is when water output exceeds water intake. | Dehydration |
| This is an increase in the volume of free water in the body resulting in dilutional hyponatremia. | Water Intoxication |
| This is the abnormal accumulation of extracellular fluid within the interstitial spaces; swelling. | Edema |
| This is the most abundant extracellular cation. | Sodium |
| Sodium balance is regulated by this hormone. | Aldosterone |
| Aldosterone is secreted by this. | Adrenal Cortex |
| This is the most abundant intracellular cation. | Potassium |
| Potassium balance is indirectly controlled by this hormone. | Aldosterone |
| This is the most abundant ion in the body. | Calcium |
| This electrolyte is primarily an intracellular cation that is also found in bone. | Magnesium |
| This intracellular electrolyte found most abundantly in the bones with the rest combined with lipids, proteins, carbs, etc. | Phosphate |
| The major extracellular anion that can easily diffuse between the extracellular and intracellular compartments. | Chloride |
| This is predominantly and extracellular anion that is important in the acid/base regulation of the body. | Bicarbonate |
| Cation (Na+) | Sodium |
| Cation (K+) | Potassium |
| Cation (Ca++) | Calcium |
| Cation (Mg++) | Magnesium |
| Anion (Cl--) | Chloride |
| Anion (HCO3-) | Bicarbonate |
| Anion (HPO4-2) | Phosphate |
| This is when your body has lower sodium level than normal blood. | Hypoatremia |
| This is when your body has higher sodium level than normal blood. | Hyperatremia |
| This is when your body has lower than normal levels of potassium. | Hypokalemia |
| This is when your body has higher than normal levels of potassium. | Hyperkalemia |

| This regulates water intake. | Thirst |
| This ion is regulated by calcion and parathyroid hormone. | Calcium |
