| The extracellular fluid includes | Fluids of gastrointestinal tract |
| the human blood volume | About 7% of body weight ( 5 liters) |
| The Hematocrit Volume equals | the packed red cells volume |
| Total fluid volume is about | 42 liters |
| The ECF and plasma volumes are important in the regulation of | blood Pressure |
| The ECF osmolality affects the ability of | the cell to maintain normal size |
| Movement of solute across a membrane occurs by | Diffusion, facilitated diffusion and active transport |
| Movement of solvent across a membrane occurs by | osmosis and Filtration |
| In an isotonic solution | there is no net exchange of water |
| A hypertonic solution causes | a cell to shrink |
| A hypotonic solution causes | a cell to swell |
| Hyponatremia is | below normal plasma Na+ |
| Blood pressure is proportional to | the amount of water in the circulatory system |
| Edema is | excess water in a body region leading to swelling |
| High venous pressure could be associated with | edema |
| before significant edema occur capillary pressure could be raised by | 17mm Hg . |
| The filtration coefficient | Is the rate of filtration /min./mm hg/100 grams of tissue |
| The starling equilibrium indicates | the near equilibrium that exists at capillary membrane |
| Effusion | is edema formation in potential spaces |
| Buffers are | substances which cushion a solution from abrupt pH changes. |
| Acidosis and Alkalosis occur when pH drifts away from | 7.4 |
