which stage of life is the percentage of fluid in the human body highest? Infancy 2. In elderly individuals‚ 75% of body weight is made up of fluid. True False 3. When comparing two individuals of the same body weight‚ the one with more muscle and less fat will have a higher percentage of fluid in their body. 4. When comparing a lean adult female to a lean adult male‚ which will most likely have a higher percentage of body fluid? The Male 5. Fluid imbalances are more common in individuals

Fluids The amount of fluids in the body is extremely large. There are many different forms of fluid throughout the body‚ such as blood‚ urine‚ hormones‚ cerebral spinal fluid‚ water‚ albumin‚ and bile. The fluids that make up the body are required for homeostasis. There are many different functions of body fluids such as transporting nutrients‚ waste and gases‚ transforming food into energy and generate electrical activity to power body functions. Physiologic Fluid Compartments The major fluid

Case Study: Urinary‚ Fluid & Electrolyte balance The cardiovascular system and the urinary system are intimately entwined. When the cardiovascular system experiences stress‚ the urinary system can be directly impacted. For example in hemorrhagic shock‚ when the body is rapidly depleted of circulating blood volume‚ the kidneys are often one of the first vital organs affected due to lack of perfusion. The kidneys are dependent on the sufficient cardiac output that the heart delivers. So when the

Acid-Base Balance and Fluids and Electrolytes Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Date Due Respiratory Acidosis Respiratory acidosis refers to a medical defect in which hypoventilation occurs leading to increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood and decreased level of pH. Decreased pH in the blood is generally known as acidosis. The body cells continuously respire and release carbon dioxide. The lungs may fail to efficiently expel the CO2. This condition is known as alveolar

Body fluids are maintained at a constant level by several homeostatic mechanisms: Osmosis- is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane known as a plasma membrane. Water is highly polar it is repelled by the lipid core (nonpolar) of the plasma membrane but can easily pass through the aquaporins created by the proteins in the membrane‚ so osmosis is happening all the time as water moves into and out of cells. Diffusion- Is where ions move away from an area where they are

Fluid Balance Explain in detail the fluid compartments of the body‚ including distribution of fluid and electrolytes within each compartment and the movement between compartments. In the average person water constitutes 60% to the total body weight.: 42L in a 70kg individual. 40% is intracellelular fluid‚ while remaining 20% is extracellular. The extracellular fluid can be divided into plasma (from intravascular compartment) and interstitial fluid intracellular fluid (28 L‚ about 35% of lean

Maintenance of the Acid – Base balance in the body (D1) pH is measured based on its acidity and alkalinity. There are many substances around the body that have different pH values. A pH of 7 is usually considered neutral‚ neither acid nor alkaline‚ this is the pH of water. In the body the acids and bases need to be in very close balance‚ this is called ‘acid base homeostasis. If it goes off too far in either direction then it could be fatal to the body. For example in the body the blood has a pH value

1. Identify each of the following statements as either true or false. If false‚ explain why. (a) Viscosity is a measure of how easily a fluid flows. (b) Although important‚ fluids are not essential to many living things. (c) A meniscus forms when water particles adhere to the sides of their container. (d) Buoyancy‚ like water pressure‚ acts in all directions. 2. Describe the relationship between mass‚ volume‚ and density of matter. 3. Use the particle theory to explain the differences between

Experiment 3: Fluid Flow Friction and Fitting Loss Objective To determine the pressure or head loss in different diameters pipes‚ joints and valves Theory Pipe flows belong to a broader class of flows‚ called internal flows‚ where the fluid is completely bounded by solid surfaces. In contrast‚ in external flows‚ such as flow over a flat plate or an airplane wing‚ only part of the flow is bounded by a solid surface. The term pipe flow is generally used to describe flow through round pipes
