What else can I help you with?
In which segment of the nephron does tubular fluid have the highest osmolality?
The tubular fluid has the highest osmolality in the medullary collecting duct as water reabsorption occurs in this segment, concentrating the solutes in the tubular fluid.
Is urine from a catheter a intracellular or extracellular fluid?
Urine from a catheter is considered an extracellular fluid because it is produced and stored outside the cells of the body.
What are some uses for extracellular fluid?
Extracellular fluid is the body fluid outside the cell that is composed of blood plasma, interstitial fluid, lymph and transcellular fluid. It resides outside the cells and transports mmaterials to and from the cells
The total body water is divided into intracellular and extracellular fluids Plasma is considered?
Plasma is considered part of the extracellular fluid compartment, which also includes fluid within the interstitial spaces, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid. Extracellular fluid is further classified into intravascular (plasma) and interstitial fluids.
How much of the extracellular fluid makes up the blood plasma?
Blood plasma makes up about 20-25% of the extracellular fluid in the body. The other main component of extracellular fluid is interstitial fluid, which makes up the remaining 75-80%.
What is the primary extracellular fluid cation in the body?
The primary extracellular fluid cation in the body is sodium (Na+). It plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction.
What is the principal cation in extracellular fluid?
Sodium is the primary cation for ECF, potassium is the primary cation for ICF.
In which segment of the nephron does tubular fluid have the highest osmolality?
The tubular fluid has the highest osmolality in the medullary collecting duct as water reabsorption occurs in this segment, concentrating the solutes in the tubular fluid.
What is found in extracellular fluid?
The principal elements in the extracellular fluid are sodium, potassium and calcium.
Is the extracellular fluid hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
The extracellular fluid is hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to water.
Where is the extracellular fluid found in the body?
Extracellular is outside cells and intracellular is inside, so that extracellular fluid would not be inside cells.
Extracellular fluid would not include?
Cells and intracellular components are not part of the extracellular fluid, as it is found outside of cells within the body. Intracellular fluid would not be considered part of the extracellular fluid.
What is extracellular fluid AND where is it found?
Extracellular fluid is the fluid outside of cells. It is in the interstitial space, in the blood vessels and lymph vessels
Is blood plasma extracellular or intracellular?
It is the intravascular fluid part of extracellular fluid (all body fluid outside of cells)
Is urine from a catheter a intracellular or extracellular fluid?
Urine from a catheter is considered an extracellular fluid because it is produced and stored outside the cells of the body.
Extracellular fluid is found everywhere in the body EXCEPT?
Extracellular is outside cells and intracellular is inside, so that extracellular fluid would not be inside cells.
What are some uses for extracellular fluid?
Extracellular fluid is the body fluid outside the cell that is composed of blood plasma, interstitial fluid, lymph and transcellular fluid. It resides outside the cells and transports mmaterials to and from the cells
