Starling forces
dictate passive exchange of H2O b/t capillaries & interstitial fluid
Forces that move fluid from capillary to interstitial space
Forces that move fluid from interstitial space into capillary
endothelial glycolayx
What factors disrupt glyocalyx?
Hematocrit
fraction of BV occupied by erythrocytes
Hct is increased by:
Hct is decreased by:
Lymphatic system
Return of lymph for systemic circulation
osmosis
net movement of H2O across semipermeable membrane
diffusion
net movement of substance from area of high concentration to area of lower concentration across fully permeable membrane
osmotic pressure
pressure of a solution against a semipermeable membrane that prevents H2O from diffusion across
osmolarity
osmolality
plasma osmolarity formula
2 [Na+] + Glucose/18 + BUN/2.8
normal plasma osmolarity
280-290 mOsm/L
most important determinant plasma osmolarity
Na+
What 2 things can increase plasma osmolarity?
