• Body fluid balance
– Total body water averages 50-70% of total body
weight
– Intracellular and extracellular fluid
– Intravascular fluid and interstitial fluid
– Fluid balance is the process of maintaining
homeostasis through equal intake and output
– ADH, thirst, kidneys, and water shifts

Fluids and Electrolytes (2 of 2)
• Acid-base balance
– Acids and bases
– Alkalotic versus acidotic
– pH range 0-14 with 7.0 being neutral
• Buffer systems
– Act as fast defenses for acid-base challenges
– Absorb hydrogen ions when they are in excess
