DONT KEEP QUIET Zen usmlekiller match simon and all! I need people here to talk to me, give me advice and pray for me..........  LG, good to see you here...thanks for reminding me of FA - I was just thinking about it this morning - it has been a few days since I touched it ! Tia tia thanks for dropping by !
Dont get frustrated or panicky Karime, me etc etc ...think that every day you are getting better .......more concepts ......more knowledge........more skills to treat a patient!
I have given isotonic saline iv to many patients but never really knew what are the compartments it would fill up!!! Learned it today......so I can visualize in the patient that it will fill up his extracellular compartment ( i.e. insterstial and plasma volume). Since isotonic is equiosmolar to theinside of the cell (300mOsm) there is no net diffision across cell membrane. Since Na+ ions are permeable to capillaries it would diffuse across capillary membranes (which separate the plasma vs insterstial compartment) to the insterstial compartment.
Point to remember : Total body water = ECF+ICF (separated by cell membrane )
*ECF- extrra cellular fluid ICF2/3+intracellular fluid 1/3rd
ECF = plasma 1/3rd and insterstitial compartment 2/3rd (separated by capillary membra nes)
Another point for those interested albumin doesnt cross capillary membrane , so stays in plasma!
Na ions dont cross cell membrane (only the water moves across to normalize osmolarity across membranes ).
Lovely challenging questions behind chapter 2 in Kaplan physiology - great teacher- tests all concepts thoroughly.
Dont know how I became a doctor and forgot all these concepts !! Weird huh!

Thanks seems, Karime for checking on me 
Today I listened to 2 audios of goljan Cardiovascular - one more to go in CVS, did 1 block UWorld - 48%  Atleast 8 questions i had narrowed down to 2 choice and then my memory cells gave up on me ! Will reinforce my memory in the coming days !
Still in early chapters of physio- gosh long way to go! Abandonned cycles for now - I think it is better to revise it at the end - especially good for old timers like me! God be with me and give me strength to endure this-cant do without you !

hi target,
nice explanation of body fluid compartments. I share the same frustration as you, regarding the memory. I came close to answering 5 questions in a block right and then answered it wrong, either i hadnt read the question right or had not analyzed it carefully. We need to train our brain cells to think fast and correct. Hope you are having a good study day.
Lets keep rolling towards the finish line. Success is approaching.

Yup! Simon - point taken Let us rock and roll towards step 1. I dont know whether to be scared of the twisty Q in Uworld or to enjoy the way they test your knowledge and concepts

Hey target.....thanks for the concepts from physio , i think these are very important as they always ask about what happens to when there is isotonic loss , dehydration , diarrhea etc etc through that ICF , ECF concept ......and know about glycerol and urea as well while you are at general physio !!
good luck and keep sharing these high yield concepts .......

Hey Target. let the productivity flow into today and all the days to come. I hope today will be as good, if not better than yesterday. Great going Target. I see that my prayers are helping Seriously though, your hard work will pay off and soon Achieving one's daily goals is one of the best feelings...

ECF = plasma 1/3rd and insterstitial compartment 2/3rd (separated by capillary membra nes)
hello target,
FA mentions that
ECF = plasma vol ( 1/4 ) + interstitial fluid (3/4 )
TBW = ICF (2/3) + ECF (1/3 )
TBW is 60 % of Total Body Weight then ICF is 40 % and ECF 20 % of the Total body weight
hence the rule 60-40-20
i'm moving so slow these days but u Target keep me going...i'm plagued with anxiety, the counter-productive kind; do u folks know of any good way of dealing with anxiety ? i feel like i can'y sleep very well at night and in the morning i wake up very tired

Progress thus far : almost 7 p.m my end - started only at 2 p.m - 12- 2 p.m -eating.lunch (not all 2 hours .).listening to music, long shower (my awake center is in my scalp, I am sure.........phone call to my loved ones..listening to Shakira (what a voice.......she needs no musical instruments)...but all of these just energizes me......and I dont feel bad when it does that to me........because when I sit down to study......then is just me and my books! So LG try something like this that you like that will energize you!
Zen ..........so happy to see you and your prayers are working...........I got 64% in UWorld 1 block timed and unused!!! I think it iis great improvement since yday ( 23 or 25 Q right out of 48) - today was 31 out of 48 correct). I am improving.........finally......thank God!
Read 17 pages renal in First aid ........and went thru these 48 Q. - not bad for 5 hours! Okay havent talked to my son in these 5 hours.........so let me go cycling and revitalize and rejunevate my relationship with the one I live for !
AT YOUR BEST folks ! That's pretty much what you can do .....right?
