Careful with thatcolloid, Eugene...
Understanding fluids, urea and electrolyte balance;a uantitative aroach. Part Two.
1
 
In Part 1 we met Salty Sam and learned aboutthe tonicity of his body water compartments.We found that the ECF bears the brunt of iatrogenic fluid overload and that the plasmapart of ECF contains some larger moleculeslike albumin, and cellular components. We willnow consider what implications this has for arational approach to fluid therapy.

A large multicellular organism like Salty Samneeds a finely-tuned circulation to deliveroxygen and nutrients to its most distant parts. Atthe arteriolar commencement of a capillary,water is filtered through the pores to theinterstitial space (ISF) of the ECF; pressure at thearteriolar part of the capillary (capillaryhydrostatic pressure) exceeds interstitialhydrostatic pressure and drives filtration.
