Female The largest fluid compartment of the body, located inside cells, serves as a solvent to facilitate intracellular chemical reactions. Intracellular fluid This is called the internal environment of the body; surrounds cells and transports substances to and from them. Extracellular Fluid This is aka as intravascular fluid; has noncellular portion of blood. Plasma This fluid is located in the tissue spaces between the cells with a lower relative osmotic pressure than plasma. Interstitial Fluid This fluid is separated from other extracellular fluid by a layer of epithelium. Transcellular Fluid This refers to the osmotic pressure of any solution relative to the osmotic pressure of plasma; has 3 types. Tonicity This type of solution have the same effective osmotic pressure as that of plasma. Isotonic This type of solution have an osmotic pressure that is lower than that of plasma and will cause cells to swell and eventually burst. Hypotonic This is another word for 'cells excessively swelling and bursting'. Hemolyze This type of solution have a higher osmotic pressure than that of plasma and will cause cells to shrink. Hypertonic This is another word for 'cells shrinking'. Crenate This is the pressure exerted by fluids; constantly forces fluid from plasma through the capillary membrane into the interstitial fluid. Hydrostatic Pressure This is a solution's potential pressure caused by nondiffusible solute Osmotic Pressure particles in the solution; pressure needed to stop osmosis. This is when the extracellular fluid becomes hypertonic and the result can be that fluid shifts from the cell toward the extracellular fluid. Dehydration This is when the extracellular fluid becomes hypertonic and fluid will shift to the inside of the cell; also called water intoxication. Hyperhydration This type of metabolism produces some water. Oxidative This is when water is lost in urine, feces, and sweat, and by evaporation from the skin and lungs. Water output This is when water output exceeds water intake. Dehydration This is an increase in the volume of free water in the body resulting in dilutional hyponatremia. Water Intoxication This is the abnormal accumulation of extracellular fluid within the interstitial spaces; swelling. Edema This is the most abundant extracellular cation. Sodium Sodium balance is regulated by this hormone. Aldosterone Aldosterone is secreted by this. Adrenal Cortex This is the most abundant intracellular cation. Potassium Potassium balance is indirectly controlled by this hormone. Aldosterone This is the most abundant ion in the body. Calcium This electrolyte is primarily an intracellular cation that is also found in bone. Magnesium This intracellular electrolyte found most abundantly in the bones with the rest combined with lipids, proteins, carbs, etc. Phosphate The major extracellular anion that can easily diffuse between the extracellular and intracellular compartments. Chloride This is predominantly and extracellular anion that is important in the acid/base regulation of the body. Bicarbonate Cation (Na+) Sodium Cation (K+) Potassium Cation (Ca++) Calcium Cation (Mg++) Magnesium Anion (Cl--) Chloride Anion (HCO3-) Bicarbonate Anion (HPO4-2) Phosphate This is when your body has lower sodium level than normal blood. Hypoatremia This is when your body has higher sodium level than normal blood. Hyperatremia This is when your body has lower than normal levels of potassium. Hypokalemia This is when your body has higher than normal levels of potassium. Hyperkalemia If this has been helpful to you, please click the star next to the name on the front page. Thanks!
