PPT-Fluid and Acid/Base Balance

Stable positive and negative balance Homeostasis maintenance of stable balances For any reversible reaction at equilibrium Thus changing the concentration of any reactant A B or AB changes the concentration of all reactants If for example A goes up B must go down and AB must go up in order to keep that ratio from changing. Water, Electrolyte, and Acid–Base Balance. Learning Objectives. Explain regulation of electrolytes in the body; major ions in the intracellular and extracellular fluid and units of concentration. Describe common disturbances of water balance and pathogenesis. 4/8/14. Balance. Water and . electrolytes. . (molecules that release ions in water) . must maintain a balance of quantities coming in and leaving.. Mechanisms in the body are responsible for this balance. Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance. Body Water Content. Infants: 73% or more water (low body fat, low bone mass). Adult males: ~60% water. Adult females: ~50% water (higher fat content, less skeletal muscle mass). Acid Base . Imbalances. Chapter 17. Megan McClintock. Winter 2012. Homeostasis. Maintained by the intake and output of water and electrolytes and regulation by the renal and pulmonary systems. Acid-base balance is necessary for many physiologic processes (respiration, metabolism, function of the CNS). Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance. 1. Body Water Content. Infants have low body fat, low bone mass, and are 73% or more water. Total water content declines throughout life. Healthy males are about 60% water; healthy females are around 50%. ABGs,. CVADs. Zoya. . Minasyan. , RN, MSN-. Edu. Purpose. Maintain a balance between acids and bases to achieve homeostasis: State of equilibrium. Health problems lead to imbalance. Diabetes mellitus. Coakley. 2/27/2014. Quick Review: Acids. Acids are compounds which function as. hydrogen (H+) donors . in biochemical equations/solutes. The more free H+ ions available for donation, the more acidic the compound. M. . Gardner. Copyright2/4/2013. ACID /BASE BALANCE. In order to meet homeostasis, the body fluids must maintain a stable chemical balance of hydrogen ions in body fluids.. This is done by regulating their acidity /alkalinity. . Acid and Base . Containing . Food:. 2. To . maintain health, . the diet should consist . of 60% alkaline . forming . foods and 40% acid . forming. foods. . To . restore health, the diet . should consist . For cells to function optimally, . a steady balance . between the acids and the bases . is necessary.. Acid-base balance represents homeostasis of hydrogen (H+) ion . concentration in . body fluids. . Many critical illnesses can disturb acid-base balance.. Acid-base disturbances may indicate an underlying disease or organ damage.. Accurate interpretation of acid-base disturbances requires the following:. This lecture presents the basic concepts of pharmaceutical inorganic chemistry with emphasis on the description, mechanisms and uses of various pharmaceutical products which are clinically used to correct various body disorders. The major topics to be covered are acids and bases, intra and extra cellular electrolytes, the gastrointestinal agents and topical agents frequently employed in the conversion of drugs to chemical forms convenient to their product formulations.. Acid-base balance.  . * Acids are electrolytes that release hydrogen ions (H+) when they are dissolved in water.. * Bases are electrolytes are release hydroxide ions (OH-) when they are dissolved in water.. LECTURER. IIMT UNIVERSITY. COLLEGE OF NURSING. FLUID AND ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCE. Body fluids are distributed in two distinct area-. Intracellular flui9d (ICF) 40% body weight. Extracellular fluid (ECF) 20% body weight.
