Three types of homeostatic balance:
|
water, electrolyte, acid-base balance
|
|
water balance:
|
average daily water intake and loss are equal
|
|
electrolyte balance:
|
amount of electrolytes absorbed by the small intestine balance with the amount lost from the body, usually in urine
|
|
acid-base balance:
|
body rids itself of acid (hydrogen ion H+) at a rate that balances metabolic production
|
|
balances are maintained by:
|
urinary, respiratory, digestive, integumentary, endocrine, nervous, cardivascular, and lymphatic systems
|
|

The most abundant solute particles are: (2 of them)
|
sodium salts in ECF

|
Electrolytes role:
|
governing the body's water distribution and total wate content.
|
|
fluid balance:
|

2,500 mL a day |
|
fluid gain comes from:
|
performed water
metabolic water |
|
performed water:
|

obligatory water loss:
|
output that is unavoidable
-expired air, cutaneous transpiration, sweat, fecal moisture, urine output |
|
What governs fluid intake:
|
thirst
|
|
dehydration:
|
reduces blood volume and blood pressure
increase blood osmolarity |
|
osmoreceptors:
|
in hypthalamus
-communicate with hypothalamus, and cerebral cortex -produce ADH through hypothalamus |
|
sense of thirst is produced by:
|
cerebral cortex
|
|
long term inhibition of thirst:
|
absorption of water from small intestine
-reduces blood osmolarity -stops osmoreceptor response |
|
short term inhibtion of thirst:
|
cooling and moistening of mouth quenches thirst
-distension of stomach and small intestine |
|
fluid deficiency:
|
fluid output excessed intake over long period of time
-hypovolemia -dehydration |
|
volume depletion (hypovolemia):
|
total body water declines but osmolarity remains normal
-hemorrhage, sever burns, chronic vomiting, or diarrhea |
|
dehydration (negative water balance)
|
body eliminates more water then sodium
-body water declines, osmolarity rises -lack of drinking water, diabetes, ADH hypersecretion |
|
fluid deficiency serious effects:
|
circulatory shock due to loss of blood volume
neurological dysfunction due to dehydration of brain cells infant mortality from diarrhea |
|
fluid excess:
|
less common then fluid diffiency due to kidneys being effective in compensating for excessive intake by excreting more urine
|
|
volume excess:
|
both water and sodium retains
ECF remains isotonic caused by renal failure |
|
hypotonic hydration (positive water balance)
|
more water than sodium retained or ingested
-ECF becomes hypotonic -cellular swlling, edema |
|
fluid sequestation:
|
condition which excess fluid accumulates in a partcular location
|
|
Fluid sequestation forms:
|
edema (most common)
hemorrhage pleural effusion |
|
pleural effusion:
|
fluid can accumulate in pleural cavity
-caused by lung infections |
|
Functions of electrolytes:
|
-metabolisim
-determine electrical potential across cell membranes -strongly affect osmolarity of body fluids -affects bodys water content and distribution |
|
major cations:
|
-na
-k -ca -h |
|
major anions:
|
-cl
-HCO3 (bicarbonate) -PO4 |
|
Diffrences between electrolyte concentrations of blood plasma and ICF are?:
|
great differences
|
|
Sodium functions:
|
-principal cation in ECF
-cotransport of other solutes -NA-K pump -buffering pH |
|
Sodium concentration is coordinated by:
|
aldosterone
|
|
aldosterone:
|
salt retaining hormone
|
|
sodium imbalances:
|
hypernatremia
hyponatremia |
|
hypernatremia:
|
plasma sodium concentration >145
-iv saline -water pretension, edema,hypertension |
|
hypotremia:
|
plasma sodium concentration <130mEq/L
-loose sweat or urine replacing with plain drinking water -excess body water, corrected by excretion of excess water |
|
Potassium Functions:
|
-most abundent cation of ICF
-greateset determinant of intracellular osmolarity and cell volume -produces resting membrane potential (with sodium) -NA-K pump -essential cofactor for protein synthesis |
|
Potassium homeostatsis is linked close with:
|
that of sodium
|
|
___% of K in glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed by ____
|
90%
PCT |

Aldosterone stimulates renals secretion of:
|
Pottassium
|
|
potassium imbalances:
|
hyperkalemia
hypokalamia |
|
hyperkalemia:
|
>5.5mEq/L
-concentration rises quickly (crush injury) sudden increase in extracellular K makes nerve and muscle cells abnormally exciateble -cardiac arrest |
|
