Sol. BD fluids & electrolytes pt. 1.txt

Water makes up to as much as _____ of your weight.

The easiest way to track water gain and loss is to ______.

What are the three ways that substances or particles combine in our body with water.

Dispersions or gels, consist of large molecules that attreact and hold water. they remain uniformly distributed throughout the dispersion and usually do not settle.

Example of colloid.

Comprise large particles that float in a liquid. mixing of them depends on agitation

Example of suspension.

is a stable mixture of two substances. The substance that dissolves is called the solute and the medium in which it dissolves is called the solvent.

Substance being dissolved.

refers to the ease in which a solute dissolves in a solvent.

The four factors that influence solubility.

The ease with which substances go into a solution in a given solvent varies widely due to its physical characteristics of matter.

Factor that influences solubility based on the idea that solvents vary widely in their ability to dissolve substances.

Solubility of most solids increases with temp., but varies inversely w/ ______.

Solubility of gases in liquids varies directly w/ _______.

Is when the amount of solute is small in proportion to its solvent.

has the max. amount of solute that can be held be a solvent, at a given temp.

If there is excess solute in a solution or the temp cools, what will happen?

The rate that precipitate forms i the same as the particles ________

A solution that contains more solute than a sturated solution, at the same temp and pressure is said to be.

Most of the solutions of physiological imprtance in the body are _____

Solutes in dilute solution demonstrate many of the properties of gases due to?

The most important physiological characteristic of solutions is their?

is the force produced by the mobility of solvent particles under certain conditions.

Osmotic pressure can be a ________ or _______.

Membrane that permits passage of solvent molecules, but not solute.

The number of molecules passing in one directionn must _____ the number of solvent molecules passing in the opposite direction.

Pure solvent is placed on one side of the membrane and a solution on the other. The solvent molecules will move ________ due to the osmotic prssure trying to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.

If a stronger solution (50%) is placed across a semipermeable membrane from a dilute solution (30%) the attractive osmotic forces will__________.

Osmotic pressure depends on ?

Whe effect would increasing the temperature have on osmotic pressure?

For every 1C increase, osmotic pressure goes up by?

is the degree of osmotic pressure exerted by a solution.

are sol. that have osmotic pressures equal to the average intracellular pressure in the body.

Sol. that has higher osmotic pressure or more tonicity. This will draw water out of cells.

sol. that has lower osmotic pressure or less tonicity. This will cause water to be absorbed from the sol. into the cells.

There are three basic types of physiological solutions that coexist in the body:

Some of the solute ionizes into separate particles know as ions. this makes it an electrolyte

Some solutes create ions and it is also an electolyte.

no ionization of solute takes place, they carry no electrical charge and are called nonelectrolytes.

Are positive charged ions that migrate to a negative electrode called a cathode
