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
ICF makes up ___% of fluid compartments:
65%
ECF makes up __% of fluid compartment:
35%
The most abundant solute particles are: (2 of them)
sodium salts in ECF
pottassium salts in ICF
Electrolytes role:
governing the body's water distribution and total wate content.
fluid balance:
when daily gains and losses are equal
2,500 mL a day
fluid gain comes from:
performed water
metabolic water
performed water:
ingested in food and drink (2,300 mL a day)
metabolic water:
by-product of aerobic metabolism and dehydration synthesis
(200 mL a day)
sensbile water loss found in:
urine, feces, sweat
insensible water loss found in:
expired breath, cutaneous transpiration, diffuses through epidermis
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
DCT and CD secrete K in response to:
blood levelts
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
hypokalamia:
>3.5 mEq/L
-from sweating, chronic vomiting, diarrhea
-nerve andm muscle cells less excitable (weakness, tone, decreased reflexes, arrhythmias)
Chloride Functions:
-abundent in anions in ECF
-required for formation of stomach acid
-chloride shift that accompanies CO2 loading and unloading RBCs
-major role in regulating body pH
hyperchloremia:
result of dietary excess of administration of IV saline
hypochloremia:
side effect of hyponatremia
Calcium functions:
-strength in skeleton
-activates sliding filament mechnasm
-serves second messanger for hormones and NTMs
-activates exocytosis of neurotransmitters and cellular secretions
-blood clotting
calcium homeostatsis regulated by:
-PTH
-calcitril
-calcitonin

-affect bone deposition and resorption
-intestinal absorption and urinary excretion
hypercalcemia:
>5.8 mEq/L
-alkalosis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism
-reduces Na permeabitliy
-inhibits depolarization of nerve and muscle cells
->12 causes muscular weakness, arrythmias, depressed reflexes
hypocalcemia:
<4.5
-vitamin D def., diahrrhea, preg, acidosis, lacatation, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism
