Study Notes
Hematology and Blood Composition
- Hematology is the study of blood and blood-forming organs.
- The normal pH range of human arterial blood is between 7.35 and 7.45.
- Red blood cells account for approximately 45% of the volume of blood.
- The approximate blood volume of the average adult is 5 liters.
Body Fluid Compartments
- The two main body fluid compartments are intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF).
- The total amount of fluid in the human body is approximately 70% of body weight.
- Extracellular fluid (ECF) constitutes approximately 20% of body weight.
- Interstitial fluid constitutes approximately 80% of extracellular fluid (ECF).
Electrolytes and Ions
- Sodium (Na+) helps regulate the amount of water in the body.
- Chloride (Cl-) helps maintain fluid balance and is an essential component of digestive fluids.
- Potassium (K+) helps regulate heart function and blood pressure.
- Magnesium (Mg2+) is important for muscle contraction and nerve function.
- Bicarbonate (HCO3–) is the most prevalent extracellular anion in body fluids.
- Potassium (K+) is not the most abundant cation in extracellular fluid (ECF).
- Magnesium (Mg2+) is the most abundant cation in intracellular fluid (ICF).
Specialized Fluids
- Lymph is a type of specialized fluid that helps defend the body against infection.
- Amniotic fluid, pericardial fluid, and sweat are examples of specialized fluids of the body.
