What else can I help you with?
What causes peritoneal fluid other than that resulting from infection?
Peritoneal fluid is not just produced by infections. An inflamed pancreas, called pancreatitis, can cause a massive sterile peritonitis when it leaks its digestive enzymes into the abdomen.
What percentage of fluid filtered by the nephron is returned to the blood?
About 180 liters of fluid is filtered by your kidneys per day. You pass about one to three liters of urine. Rest of the fluid is reabsorbed by your kidneys.
How much fluid filters through the glomerulus in a day?
About 180 L of fluid is filtered out but 178-179 get reabsorbed in the tubules so 1-2 L gets excreted as urine on a daily basis.
Where and how is cerebrospinal fluid made?
Cerebrospinal fluid is produced primarily in the choroid plexus of the brain's ventricles. It is formed by a filtration process of blood plasma and is constantly being produced and reabsorbed to provide cushioning and protection to the brain and spinal cord.
What is an ascites?
An ascites is an accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity.
What is fluid liter in liters?
liters ARE fluid liters
What happens to the 180 liters of fluid filtered each day?
The 180 liters of fluid filtered each day refers to the volume processed by the kidneys, specifically through the nephrons. Of this volume, about 99% is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream, resulting in approximately 1.5 to 2 liters of urine produced daily. The reabsorption process allows the body to retain essential substances like water, electrolytes, and nutrients while excreting waste and excess materials. Ultimately, the urine is stored in the bladder until it is excreted from the body.
If body secretes about 7 liters of water into the alimentary canal each day what percentage of this water gets reabsorbed?
Approximately 90-95% of the water that is secreted into the alimentary canal gets reabsorbed back into the body. This reabsorption mainly occurs in the large intestine, where water is absorbed along with nutrients and electrolytes, helping to maintain the body's fluid balance.
Where would you find most of the body fluid?
Peritoneal cavity
Abnormal accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity is known as?
ascites
How do you convert ounces to liters?
To convert liters to fluid ounces: liters x 33.81 = fluid ounces
Is most tissue fluid reabsorbed by the lymphatic system?
No.
