Albumin - A simple form of protein that is soluble an water Anasarca - A Condition that causes a eneral swelling of the body Colloids -A homogenous non-crystalline Substance Consisting of Lodge molecules de la Extracellular and solu fluid (E(F) : Denotes all the fluids outside the cell intracellular bilan fluid (ICF) Denotes all the fluids Inside the cells Hydrostatic presure : Pressure sented by a fluid at Equilibrium by a gives point due to gravity ang Hypertonic it Higher concentration of solute Hypotonic - Lower concentration of solute Isotatic : two solutions having Same emotic proycores Inteutitial fluid a is a thin layer of fluid - "Surrounds the body's cells CamScanner

Smolarity - Concentration of solute expressed as the total number of solute Particles per litere Osmolality. The concentration of a solution expressed as the total number of solute particles per kilogram Aldosterone: corticosteroid hormone trine Stimulates absorption of sodium ADH - Hormone, made by Hypothalamus Helps in water conservation Atrial natriuretic de Hormone, causing a reduction in txpanded Extracellular fuia Osmosis - molecules more from Low Concentration to high concentration Diffusion movement of particles from higher concentration to how concentration filtration : Separating Suspended solid matter from a liquid.

Starling's Law. Sunt of capillaries - movement of between the capillaries and fuid is due to presure. fluid Interstitial Aldosterone is, secreted by Adrenal. gland art boodste Aldosterone is triggered when the Blood pressure is low ADH synthesized by typothalamus & It is secreted by Pituitory 7 tiggered by typothalamus and released by pituitory when Increase in the Osmolality No , ADH not Involved in Renin Angiotensin system Cortosol is produced by Adrenal glands secreted by Hypothalamus → Role of cortisol to control blood Sugar & Regulate metabolism
