What You'll Learn
Distinguish intracellular fluid from extracellular fluid and identify the major subdivisions of ECF.
Explain diffusion, osmosis, filtration, active transport, osmolarity, and tonicity.
Predict how isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions affect cell volume.
Identify the major physiological roles of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, bicarbonate, and phosphate.
Describe filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and excretion in the nephron.
Trace the actions of ADH, RAAS, aldosterone, natriuretic peptides, and thirst.
Explain fluid gains and losses, water deficit, water excess, and edema.
Separate extracellular volume changes from osmolarity changes when analyzing a fluid disturbance.
Describe the basic relationship among chemical buffers, the lungs, the kidneys, and acid–base balance.

Acid–Base Connection and Integrated Review
Build a connected understanding of body fluids, electrolytes, osmolarity, and homeostatic regulation with the Basecamp Compass A&P II Fluid & Electrolyte Balance Trail Guide. This illustrated study companion helps students follow how water and dissolved particles move between compartments, how the kidneys and hormones maintain balance, and why changes in volume and concentration affect the body differently.
The guide begins with total body water, intracellular and extracellular fluid, diffusion, osmosis, filtration, active transport, and tonicity. It then reviews the major cations and anions before connecting kidney function with ADH, RAAS, natriuretic peptides, and thirst. Fluid gains and losses, water deficit, water excess, edema, osmolarity, extracellular volume, and the acid–base connection are brought together through visual explanations and an integrated hot-trail scenario.
Use the guide to preview a unit, organize lecture material, revisit difficult pathways, or prepare for an exam. It is designed as a study companion and does not replace the assigned textbook, instructor materials, or laboratory work.
