Concentration of ICF solute in relation to ISF and plasma
ICF values very different from ISF and plasma
Concentration of plasma solute in relation to ISF
ISF and plasma solute levels are very similar
Na+ (sodium)
10x more on outside (ISF/plasma) than inside (ICF)
K+ (potassium)
30x more on inside (ICF) than outside (ISF/plasma)
Ca2+ (calcium)
10,000x more on outside (ISF/plasma) than inside (ICF)
Cl- (chloride)
6x more on outside (ISF/plasma) than inside (ICF)
Osmolarity
Similar throughout but lower osmotic potential in plasma
How does the higher osmolarity/lower osmotic potential of plasma contribute?
Constant flow of fluid from the interstitial fluid to the plasma, keeps blood pressure up, blood volume, albumin in blood supported
