Title: Fluid, Electrolyte and Acid-Base Balance: Electrolyte Homeostasis Post by: morguegirl1014 on Sep 16, 2014 I am having trouble with these questions. Thanks in advance for any help!
Electrolyte concentrations affect the movement of water between the intracellular and interstitial fluid. Increasing the sodium concentration in the interstitial fluid will cause water to move _______ the cell. This process is called _________________. Plasma proteins are too big to move out of the vessel wall; therefore, they would cause water to move __________ the plasma. This is due to the osmotic effect of the proteins, called _____________ pressure.

Title: Re: Fluid, Electrolyte and Acid-Base Balance: Electrolyte Homeostasis Post by: sophie83 on Sep 21, 2014 If sodium concentration is higher in the interstitial fluid, water (solvent), will travel via osmosis to the outside of the cell. In osmosis, the solvent will travel across a semipermeable membrane toward an area where there is a higher concentration of a solute. The solute being sodium.
