| Diffusion | The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration. Occurs with liquids, gases, and solids. |
| Osmosis | The movement of water between two compartments seperated by a membrane permeable to water but not to a solute. |
| Isotonic | Fluids with the same osmolality as the cell interior. |
| Hypotonic | Solutions in which the solutes are less concentrated than the cells. |

| Oncotic Pressure | Osmotic pressure exerted by colloids in a solution. The major colloid in the vascular system contributing to the total osmotic pressure is protein. |
| First Spacing | The normal distribution of fluid in the ICF and ECF compartments. |
| Second Spacing | An abnormal accumulation of interstitial fluid. |
| Third Spacing | When fluid accumulates in a portion of the body from which it is not easily exchanged with the rest of the ECF. 3rd spaced fluid is trapped and essentially unavailable for functional use. (ascites, peritonitis, and edema) |
| Diuretic | Increases excretion of water from the body. |
| Hypothalamic Regulation | A body fluid deficit or increase in plasma osmolality is sensed by osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus, which in turn stimulates thirst and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) release. |
| ADH | The distal tubules and collecting ducts in the kidneys respond to ADH by becoming more permeable to water so water is reabsorbed. |
| Glucocorticoids (cortisol) | Primarily have an anti-inflammatory effect and increase serum glucose levels. |
| Mineralcorticoids (aldosterone) | Enhance sodium retention and potassium excretion |
| Insensible Water Loss | Invisible vaporization from the lungs and skin, assists in regulating body temperature. Normally, about 900 mL per day is lost. |
| H2O deficiency | HYPERNATREMIA (dehydration=less water=serum sodium level appears higher). |
| Na+ deficiency | HYPONATREMIA |
| H2O excess | HYPONATREMIA (more water=serum sodium level appears lower) |
| Na+ excess | HYPERNATREMIA |
| Vitamin B12 | 100-700 pg/mL, <100pg/mL = THROMBOCYTOPENIA, BLEEDING, AND VIT. K DEFICIENCY. |
