Study Notes
Cell Membrane and Transport
- The average diameter of non-gated channels in the cell membrane is not specified.
- Passive transport is exemplified by simple diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
Body Fluids
- The electrolyte with the highest concentration in the plasma is not specified.
- The lipid bilayer of the cell membrane allows for easy passage of non-polar and hydrophobic substances.
- Active transport requires energy input.
Body Fluid Compartments
- Intravascular fluid occupies around 5% of body weight.
- The internal environment of the body is described as the intracellular fluid.
- Intracellular fluid occupies around 40% of body weight.
- Extracellular fluid occupies around 20% of body weight.
- Total body water occupies around 60% of body weight.
