Study Notes
Learning Engagement 6: Hemodynamic Diseases Course - Lesson 1 Summary
- 60% of lean body weight is water.
- Two-thirds of the body's water is intracellular.
- One-third of the body's water is extracellular, mostly in the interstitium.
- Only about 5% of total body water is in blood plasma.
- The movement of water and solutes between intravascular and interstitial spaces is controlled by vascular hydrostatic pressure and plasma colloid osmotic pressure.
- Learning outcomes for this unit include classifying diseases according to etiology, identifying distinctive features of common diseases, correlating laboratory findings with disease etiology, explaining pathognomonic findings in each disease, and explaining the pathologic events during the disease process.
- The first lesson focuses on fluid homeostasis and edema.
- Edema is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitial spaces.
- The arteriolar end of the microcirculation is where fluid normally flows out.
- The movement of fluid is controlled by hydrostatic pressure and colloid osmotic pressure.
- The lesson will cover the causes and mechanisms of edema.
Test your knowledge on hemodynamic diseases and enhance your understanding of the classification, distinctive features, laboratory findings, and pathognomonic findings associated with these diseases. Explore the pathologic events occurring during these conditions and assess your learning outcomes in this engaging quiz.
