Pregunta Respuesta
Water accounts for what percentage of total body weight? 60%
Body water has two components? Water inside cells (intracellular fluid) Water outside cells (extracellular fluid)
Intracellular fluid makes up ... of total body water. Extracellular fluid makes up...of total body water. 2/3 1/3
ECF is subdivided into which two compartments and what percentages make up these compartments? Interstitial fluid (80%) Plasma (20%)
If too much fluid moves out of the plasma and into the interstitial spaces, this results in? Tissue swelling (Oedema)
The protein content of the plasma is much higher than in the interstitial fluid? Yes
Plasma proteins contribute towards the osmotic pressure of the plasma. This is called the Colloid Osmotic Pressure
Plasma proteins help to ? retain water in the plasma.
What can result if plasma protein levels fall? Severe starvation.
What type of fluid is found in the spaces within the brain, and also surrounding the outer portions of the brain and spinal cord ? Cerebrospinal fluid
Is cerebrospinal fluid part of the ICF or ECF? ECF
CSF volume is around? 150ml
Does CSF have cells present? No
Is CSF composed differently to plasma fluid? Yes
What function does CSF have? Supports and protects the brain and spinal cord and helps supply nutrients.
Are the walls of brain capilliaries more or less permeable than capilliaries elsewhere in the body? Less
