What is third spacing loss of ECF into space from the body but not
available to be used by the ECF or or ICF
What are some spaces Peritoneal cavity and pleural cavity
where third spacing can
happen
What are some signs that there is a decrease in urine output even when having
third spacing is proper intake
happening
What is osmosis diffusion of water caused by fluid and solute
concentration gradients that move from high to
low concentration
What is starlings laws of the two forces at every capillary membrane: hydrostatic
capillary forces and osmotic pressure
What is hydrostatic Pressure exerted by fluid on
pressure; how does it the walls of blood vessel
work pushes fluid out of the
capillary toward the ICF
What is osmotic pressure; pressure exerted by the
how does it work solutes within the plasma
pulls the fluid into the
capillary from the ICF

What is colloid oncotic osmotic pressure specifically exerted by albumin in the
bloodstream
What is tonicity the ability of solutes to cause osmotic driving force that
promotes water movement
Same sodium and chloride concentration as the
bloodstream and the same water
concentration as the bloodstream
Isotonic solutions does not provoke change between ICF
and ECF compartments Isotonic
solutions expand the plasma
volume of blood
composed of less sodium chloride concentration than
blood
0.45 %NaCl and 0.25 % NaCl
Hypotonic solutions
less solute but more water
than bloodstream Move
water from ECF to ICF
used to hydrate patient
Composed of a greater
concentration of NaCl compared to
blood 3% NaCl
More solute
concentration and less
Hypertonic Solution water Pulls water from
the ICF to the ECF
Helps with edema, and cerebral edema
