| A | B |
|---|
| Acidosis | increase in acids |
| Aldosterone | stimulates kidneys to retain sodium and get rid of potassium |
| Alkalosis | increase in bases or alkaline substances |
| Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) | important in determining whether urine is dilute or concentrate |
| Ascites | third spacing;large amount of fluid within the peritoneal cavity |
| Bicarbonate | 22-26 mEq/L;primary buffer for acid-base balance |
| Buffer | substance that maintains pH |
| Dehydration | loss of fluid;increase of electrolyte concentrations |
| Diffusion | flows from an area of higher concentration into an area of lower concentration |
| Exrtracellular fluid (ECF) | fluid in areas outside the cells |
| Filtration | happens between intravascular and interstitial spaces |
| Fluid volume deficit | hypovolemia |
| Interstitial space | space between cells |
| Intracellular fluid (ICF) | fluid within the cells |
| Intravascular space | blood vessels, heart and holds plasma |
| Osmosis | thru semipermeable membrane from lowest to highest |
| pH | parts hydrogen |
| Third spacing | accumulation of fluid |
