Fluid balance
The maintenance of proper levels of water in the body's compartments to support normal physiological functions.
Intracellular Fluid (ICF)
The fluid contained within the cells of the body.
Extracellular Fluid (ECF)
The fluid found outside of cells, including interstitial fluid, plasma, and other bodily fluids.
Fluid Shift
The movement of water into and out of the cell in response to changes in the intracellular or extracellular fluid concentrations.
Electrolyte balance
The maintenance of the correct concentrations of ions such as sodium, potassium, and calcium in body fluids.
Mineral
An inorganic element (i.e., iron, cobalt, magnesium) required in small amounts for various physiological processes.
Electrolyte
A substance that dissociates into ions in solution, playing a role in fluid balance and cell function.
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
A hormone that promotes water reabsorption at the kidneys to reduce urine output and maintain fluid balance.
Aldosterone
A hormone that increases sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion in the kidneys, contributing to fluid and electrolyte balance.
pH
A measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, indicating its acidity or alkalinity.
Acid
A substance that contains an increased concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) as compared to water (H2O).
Base
A substance that contains a decreased concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) as compared to water (H2O).
Buffer
A substance that resists changes in pH by neutralizing added acids or bases.
Acidosis
A condition in which blood pH falls below 7.35 due to an excess of hydrogen ions or a loss of base.
Alkalosis
A condition in which blood pH rises above 7.45 due to a loss of hydrogen ions or an excess of base.
