Study Notes
Factors Affecting Body Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance
- Age is a factor that affects body fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance, as elderly people have a blunted thirst response.
Importance of Water in the Body
- Water plays a crucial role as a transport mechanism for nutrients, waste products, and other substances.
- Water acts as a lubricant in the body.
Distribution of Body Fluid
- The body fluid is divided into two major components: intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid.
Types of Solutions
- Normal saline solution is a type of solution with a concentration of 0.9% NaCl.
- Hypertonic solution: a solution with a higher solute concentration, causing cells to shrink as fluid is drawn out to create balance.
- Hypotonic solution: a solution with a lower solute concentration, causing cells to swell as fluid is drawn in to create balance.
