00:01 So to conclude our lecture on fluids, electrolytes, and the acid base balance of the body. 00:08 We recall that there are two main fluid compartments in the body. 00:12 The intracellular fluid compartment and the extracellular fluid compartment. 00:19 The bodies fluids contain water and solutes. 00:23 There are two types of solutes found in our body fluids: Electrolytes, and nonelectrolytes. 00:30 The most abundant of the electrolytes in our fluids is sodium. 00:35 It's movement drives the movement of water in and out of our extracellular fluid, our intracellular fluid, and our interstitial fluid. 00:46 Sodium homeostasis is maintained by hormonal, neural, and chemical controls. 00:54 The movement of water follows the movement of salt and is driven by osmosis. 01:02 Acid base balance is important for all of our body's enzymatic processes. 01:07 Imbalances can lead to acidosis or alkalosis. 01:13 And finally, blood pH is maintained by buffering systems, respiratory mechanisms, and longer term renal regulation. 01:23 This concludes our lecture on fluids, electrolytes, and acid base balance. 01:28 Thank you for listening.
The lecture Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-base Balance: In a Nutshell (Nursing) by Jasmine Clark, PhD is from the course Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-base Balance – Physiology (Nursing).
