To carry out its functions a cell needs

Constan supply of reactants (nutrients and oxygen) also needs system to remove waste products (carbon dioxide and water)

Diffusion

Reactants can diffuse through cell membrane. Waste products can diffuse out and be absorbed by surrounding liquid.

Body composed of

42 L of fluids on average (2/3 of body weight)

Two categories of body fluids

Intracellular and extracellular fluid.

Intracellular fluid

Located inside cells. Majority of fluids are here *28L

Extracellular fluids

Located outside cells. Transports substances to and from cells

Two categories of extracellular fluids

1. Interstitial fluid surround individual cells and moves in lymph vessels (10.5L to 20% of total fluid)


2. Plasma- the liquid portion of blood (3.5L- 7% of total)


•other body fluids are in lesser amounts and are urine, juices, cerebrospinal fluid

Body fluids composition

Intracellular fluids contain more protein than extracellular fluids and different ionic populations.

98% of the oxygen needed

By the body is carried by red blood cells. Other 2% dissolved in plasma due to low solubility of O2 in plasma.


Oxygen reversibly binds

To the heme group of hemoglobin in red blood cells

Hemoglobin has

4 chains and 4 hemes. 4 O2 can bind.


Cooperative protein - binding of one O2 increases affinity for other O2

Heme structure

When CO2 is present

Hemoglobin can reversibly bind it.


CO2 is transported in blood. 25% carried out by carbaminohemoglobin from body tissues to lungs.


5% dissolved in plasma


70% as HCO3- ions

Transport of oxygen and CO2 to and from the Lungs

CO2 and O2

Exchange at the lungs

Transport of oxygen and CO2 to and from the cells of active tissue

CO2 and O2 exchange

At cell

Chemical transport to cells

To be transported in the bloodstream, chemicals can 1. Dissolve in plasma (sugars and ions)


2. Bind to cellular components (O2 and CO2)


3. Form a suspension (lipids)

Chemical transport across capillaries

Constituents of urine

Urine is about 96% water and 4%dissolved organic and inorganic waste products.


• can be used diagnostically( ph,alkalinity, or acidity)


• Normal constituents are considered abnormal when they are eliminated in excess.


Glucosuria

Diabetes mellitus, renal diabetes. Alimentary glycosurina. Glucose in large amounts

Proteinuria (albuminuria)

Kidney damage, nephritis, bladder infection. Protein.

Ketonuria

Diabetes mellitus, starvation, high fat diets. Ketone bodies

Pus

Kidney or bladder infection

Hemoglobinuria

Excessive hemolysis of red blood celss. Hemoglobin

Hematuria

Hemorrhage in the urinary tract. Ted blood cells

Jaundice

Blockage of bile duct, hepatitis, cirrhosis. Bile pigments in large amounts

Fluid and electrolyte balance

Interdpendent, If one deviates from normal so does the other. Hospital patients given electrolyte and fluid balance therapy. Water input must equal water loss

Water intake regulated by

Thirst mechanism.


•salivary secretions decrease when body loses water.


• makes you thirsty and you drink water.

Fluid balance in body maintained

Or restored primarily by variation in urine output

The rate of water reabsorption

From the renal tubules in the kidneys can be varied to adjust for water intake.

Renal tubles

Small structures in the kidney that filter the blood and produce the urine

Water reabsorption is controlled by

The pituitary hormone vasopressin


And the adrenal cortex hormone aldosterone

Vasopressin

Increases reabsorption of water from renal tubules and into the capillaries increasing blood vol.

When bodily fluid levels

Run really low due to not drinking enough water, diarrhea or excessive perspiration. Aldoesterone is secreted which then stimulates the readsorption of Na+ at the kidney from the renal tubules into the blood.


•Chloride ions follow the sodium ions to maintain electric neutrality and water follows the NaCl


• therefore, both water and salt concentration are conserved

Normal blood ph

Range of 7.35-7.45

Alkalosis

Higher than normal blood pH

Acidosis

Lower than normal blood pH

Three systems to control blood pH

Buffer, respiratory, urinary

Buffer control of blood pH

3 major buffer systems of the blood.


1. Bicarbonate buffer


2. Phosphate buffer


3. Plasma proteins


Buffers work by neutralizing H+ and Oh ions that come from dissociation of acids or bases.



Respiratory control of blood pH

Respiration helps control blood pH by regulating the elimination of CO2 and H2O. Come from break down of carbonic acid


• the more CO2 and H2O exhaled, the more carbonic acid is removed. Raising blood pH.


Respiratory control of blood pH cont

Begins in the brain with respiratory center neurons that are sentitive to co2 and pH

Hyperventilation

Rapid deep berthing. Causes an increase in blood pH when pH level is lower than normal or high CO2


•increased breathing eliminates more CO2, reduces amount of carbonic acid and H+ and increases pH to normal.


Hypoventilation

Slow, shallow breathing causes a decrease in blood pH when pH level is above normal.


•less CO2 exhaled, higher concentration of carbonic acid remains and lowers pH to normal.

Urinary control of blood pH

Kidneys can excrete varying amounts of acidic and base so they can control pH


• the kidneys when the blood is acidic, can excrete H+ ions in the urine decreasing it's pH and raising blood pH

Reactions involved in the excretion of hydrogen ions

Maintain ratio of biocarbonate

To carbonic acid in plasma (20-1 normal condition)


Respiratory and urinary systems

Work together to maintain pH by maintaining this ratio. Change ratio change pH.

pH imbalances

In body fluids are brought on by:


1. abnormal breathing (acidosis or alkalosis)


2.other factors (metabolic acidosis or alkalosis)


Increase ratio=alkalosis


Decrease ration= acidosis

Respiratory alkalosis

Hyperventilation increases CO2 loss, this increasing blood pH. Loss of CO2

Respiratory acidosis

Hypoventilation (slow shallow breathing.) Decreases CO2 loss, thus decreasing blood pH

Metabolic acidosis

An increase in h+ in bodily fluids caused by diabetes mellitus, heavy exercise, acids developed by metabolic processes. Leads to lower blood pH. When H+ diffuses into blood.

Metabolic alkalosis

A decrease in H+ in bodily fluids caused by: Vomiting (loss of stomach acid)


:ingestion of alkaline substances.


Leads to an increase in blood pH


•body responds by slowing breathing (hypoventilation)
