Across
  1. 3. Fluid Volume Deficit
  2. 6. A type of swelling where pressing on the affected area leaves a visible indentation or “pit” that persists for some time
  3. 9. Elastic garments worn on the legs to improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and prevent blood clots
  4. 11. Excess fluid in the interstitial space, resulting in swelling
  5. 12. Higher concentration of solutes outside the cell compared to inside
  6. 13. Swelling of brain cells
  7. 15. Reabsorbs sodium from the renal tubules and excretes potassium
  8. 16. The movement of fluid from the intravascular space (within the blood vessels) into the interstitial space.
  9. 20. Edema that occurs when the lymphatic system is blocked or damaged
  10. 21. The concentration of solutes (such as electrolytes or other solids) dissolved in a solution
  11. 22. Blood or plasma
  12. 25. Cerebrospinal fluid, Transcellular fluids, Various secretions
  13. 26. Low sodium concentration in the blood
Down
  1. 1. Fluid Volume Excess
  2. 2. A build-up of fluid in the lungs
  3. 4. Accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity
  4. 5. Referred to as “pulling” pressure.
  5. 7. Controls the amount of fluid leaving the body via urine and promotes the reabsorption of water into the blood from the kidney tubules
  6. 8. Retains potassium and excretes sodium and water.
  7. 10. Referred to as “pushing” pressure.
  8. 14. Fluid outside the cells
  9. 17. High sodium concentration in the blood
  10. 18. Lower concentration of solutes outside the cell compared to inside
  11. 19. Fluid inside the cells
  12. 23. Equal concentration of solutes inside and outside of the cell
  13. 24. Medications that help the body eliminate excess salt and water through the urine
  14. 27. The movement of fluid from an area with a low solute concentration (the interstitial space) to an area with a high solute concentration (the intravascular space).
