Intracellular and extracellular are the 2 major fluid compartments in the body. Extracellular contains intravascular and interstitial body parts. The intracellular compartment is known as the fluid inside of the cell. Extracellular is fluid outside of the cell which consists of the Intravascular which is the fluid located in the vessel and interstitial which is fluid between the vessel and the cell. Each compartment encompasses a certain amount of fluid proportionate for the size of one’s body and the size of the compartment. The extracellular fluid holds 20% of one’s body weight and the intracellular contains 40%.
The amount of fluid in one’s body must be maintained for adequate function. If the fluid becomes excessive then it will dilute the sodium inside the body and cause electrolyte imbalances which will affect systems such as the central nervous system and cardiovascular system. This is a result of the extracellular space containing more fluid than the intracellular space in relation to fluid movement trying to maintain balance due to the lack of sodium and excess fluid.

Active transport requires energy for the effective movement of particles to be moved from one space to another. This action must have energy in the form of ATP because it is flowing opposite of its natural tendency. Therefore, this form of transport needs energy because it flows from low to high concentration, whereas passive transport moves particles from high to low concentration, not requ the purpose of osmosis is to balance the fluid on both sides of the membrane. and diffusion’s purpose is to balance the concentration of solutes on both sides of the
transport- A type of diffusion that uses ATP since the molecules that aren’t concentrated move toward more concentrated molecules. 3. ATP (adenosine triphosphate)- A compound formed from exergonic reactions that has an adenosine molecule attached to three phosphate groups. 4.
Please be detailed with your response. Hint: During dehydration, people lose a large amount of sodium. (5
The integumentary system- This system is overlaying the outer body. • Anatomical location- The integumentary system is superior or external to the body. The organs that make up this system are the skin, glands, nails, hair, and sense receptors.
Rationale The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane is found in all cells and separates the extracellular side of the cell from the cytosolic side (Cell membrane (plasma membrane), 2023). The purpose of the cell membrane is to communicate with the cell’s external environment, to contain the cell’s contents and to control the transport of molecules in and out of the cell. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of high to low concentration.
Several other functions that it plays in the body include: balancing the electrolytes in our system, maintaining the acid-base balance and is significantly essential to muscle contraction and nerve transmissions throughout our body. A deficiency in sodium can put individuals at risk for contracting hyponatremia which is a dangerous condition in which an individual has too little sodium in their blood. The connection between sodium and water is directly correlated in keeping an equal ration of sodium and water in the body. For example, when the body contains too much salt, the body responds in keeping homeostasis by telling the individual to drink excessive water – polydipsia- until there is an equal balanced ratio of sodium to water. In addition, individuals who consume more than the recommended intake of salt tend to show signs of excessive weight gain, but in reality is just a side effect water weight in the body for this its way of maintaining a balance ratio until the salts are expelled from the body.
Shock Definition Shock is a medical emergency in which the organs and tissues of the body are not receiving an adequate flow of blood. This deprives the organs and tissues of oxygen (carried in the blood) and allows the buildup of waste products. Shock can result in serious damage or even death.
Therefore, the cell needs to maintain its internal environment through osmosis. In a hypotonic solution, osmosis allows water molecules to move from the inside of the cell to the outside, so as to keep the concentrations balanced. In a hypertonic
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a membrane from an area of high contraction to an area of low concentration. Osmosis happens in three different environments. Osmosis is like diffusion in it requiring no energy. Osmosis can happen in three different types of environments; Hypertonic, Isotonic and Hypotonic. If osmosis were to
The dermis which is the second layer is more active and hosts capillaries, blood vessels, elastin and also fibroblasts. Dermis also has certain polysaccharides like glycosaminoglycans which keep the cellular activity towards the
Diffusion and Osmosis Lab Report By: Jettica Williams BIOL 1107 Lab September 21, 2016 Prepared for Mrs. Fulford Lab Course Page Break The cell membrane act as a roadblock for cells. The cell membrane has a very hectic job. It restricts the access to what comes in and what goes out. The bond the membrane shares with others is the idea of accountability.
Osmosis Lab Report Research Question: How does the change in the concentration of a sucrose solution affect the process of osmosis in a potato cell by measuring its mass? Background information: 1 Osmosis is the process by which a liquid passes through a semi-permeable membrane, moving from an area with a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water. There are various factors that affect osmosis such as: concentration, surface area and temperature. The concentration of solutions can affect the rate of osmosis, as there is more difference in the concentration of the solutions, which means osmosis, will take place quicker. Surface area could affect osmosis based on the ease by which molecules can get through the semi-permeable
A dehydrated brain works harder to accomplish the same amount as a normal brain and it even temporarily shrinks because of its lack of water. Over-hydration, or hyponatremia, is usually caused by over consumption of water in short amount of time. Athletes are often the victims of over-hydration because of complications in regulating water levels in extreme physical conditions. Whereas the dehydrated brain amps up the production of antidiuretic hormone, the over-hydrated brain slows, or even stops, releasing it into the blood. Sodium electrolytes in the body become diluted, causing cells to swell.
This experiment is to investigate the relationship between solute concentration and the movement of water through semipermeable membrane by the process of osmosis. The purpose of this The Visking tubing apparatus establishes the osmosis procedure. The Visking tubing is a semipermeable membrane filled up with concentrated sucrose solution. The surface of the semipermeable membrane symbolizes the visking tubes and the mixture demonstrates the cytoplasm. If the Visking tube is absorbed in water, after a period of time, it will be have water inside water, this is because the water molecules can pass through the tubing, while the larger sugar molecules cannot diffuse out from the tubing because the size of sugar molecules do not allow it to go through the tubing.
Due this process, it allows the lymphatic system to monitor the invading microbes. The lymphatic vessels also carry a clear fluid that it bathes in the body’s tissues that is known as lymph. Another organ is lymph node that is has specialized compartments where the immune system there and can encounter antigens. It shaped is small and bean shapes that are there in neck, armpits, abdomen and groin. As mentioned above, that there is lymphatic vessels, so that the immune cells and all the foreign particles will enter then exit through outgoing lymphatic vessels.
Water is one of the most important and vital substance on earth. All life forms on earth require water to survive. If there will be no water there would be no life on earth. Aside from drinking water to survive, people have many other uses for water.
