B5 P2 Terms: 1. Interstitial fluid *A tissue fluid. *A solution that bathes & surrounds cells of multicellular animals.

*High in Na+, Cl- & protein.

moment, are not significantly affected by other atoms, ions, or molecules nearby.

8. Complex ions *A coordination complex or metal complex, consists of an atom or ion, and a surrounding array of bound molecules or anions, that are known as ligands or complexing agents. *Many metal-containing compounds consist of coordination complexes.

2. Homeostasis *Regulation of human body so that the internal conditions remain stable & relatively constant.

Extra. & intracellular fluid Differences: 1. Cell proteins in ICF cant permeate PM to leave cells. 2. Unequal distribution. Intracellular fluid

3. Lymph *Fluid that circulates throughout the lymphatic system. *Formed when the interstitial fluid is collected through lymph capillaries.

Cytosol: Liquid found inside cells, usually containing dissolved solutes. In eukaryotes, separated by cell membranes from organelles contents suspended in cytosol. 2/3 ICF.

4. Osmolarity (osmolar) *Measure of solute concentration *Osmoles (Osm) per liter (L)

5. Electrolytes *Compounds in the blood that conduct electricity & can be decomposed by it. *Na+, K+, Ca+, Mg+, Cl-, HCO3-

Extracellular fluid

All body fluid outside cells. Liquid containing proteins & electrolytes, including liquid in blood plasma & interstitial fluid. 1/3 ECF. 80% interstitial fluid, 20% plasma (liquid portion of blood). Selectively permeable plasma membrane separates intracellular fluid from surrounding interstitial fluid. Vessel walls divide interstitial fluid from blood plasma. ECF has nearly identical composition with blood plasma, except with additional plasma proteins.

6. Intravenous therapy *The giving of liquid substances directly into a vein.

7. Free ions *Ions, such as found in an ionized gas, whose properties, such as spectrum and magnetic

Only capillary walls are thin & leaky enough to permit exchange of H20 & solutes. Other ECF grouped with interstitial fluid transcellular fluid. Lymph/ cerebrospinal fluid/ synovial fluid/ Introcular fluid/ Digestive juice.

Osmosis

Primary means of water movement between ICF & ECF. Solute conc. In these fluids determine osmosis direction. Solutes are mostly electrolytes fluid balance is closely related to electrolyte balance. Intake of water & electrolyte are rarely isotonic to body fluids.
