M6 Pre-Task Activity (Fluids and Electrolytes)

This document contains a pre-task activity on fluids and electrolytes with 14 terms in Column A matched with definitions in Column B. The terms include types of solutions, transport mechanisms, acid-base imbalances, and fluid-related physiologic concepts. Key terms are defined, such as diffusion, osmosis, acidosis, ascites, alkalosis, active transport, hydrostatic pressure, osmolality, osmolarity, tonicity, and homeostasis.

solute concentrations are equal on both sides
of the membrane

G.   fluid tension or the effect that osmotic


pressure of a solution with impermeable

movement across the cell membrane
H.   the number of milliosmoles (the standard
unit of osmotic pressure) per liter of solution;

expenditure of energy

J.     the pressure created by the weight of fluid


against the wall that contains it. In the body,

from the weight of fluid itself and the force
resulting from cardiac contraction.
