Water transport as described through the kidney
glomerular filtrate: where is it reabsorbed in the kidney? how do membranes acheive selectivity through permeability? |
in the proximal tubule and
in the descending thin limb epithelial cells through aquaporin-1 (AQP1) permiability selectivity: aquaporins |
|
how does the Hormone vasopressin increase membrane water permeability ?
|
stimulates redistrubution of AQP2 from cytoplacmic vesicles to apical membrane of PRINCIPLE cells
|
|
AQP-1
|
monomer
congegrates as tetramer? but water slides down each monomer 6 mem spanning helices loops B and E loop into membrane and form the pore NPA motifs water can move in both directions water is just the right size to fir, an arg and a his keep H+ from going through, only water selectivity without loosing rapid exchange |
|
osmosis
|
net flow of water across a membrane
|
|
osmotic pressure
definition what provides osmotic pressure in a cell? |
driving force for osmosis
the pressure needed to prevent movement of water from a place of low solute to a place of high solute in a cell the SOLUTES provide osmotic pressure |
|
what does osmotic pressure depend on?
|
the osmolarity of solutes
the permeability of membrane to solutes |
|
osmolarity
|
Osmolarity measures the gradient for water assuming all the osmotic solute is impermeant. It is simply a count of the number of dissolved particles. Therefore a 300 millimolar solution of glucose, a 300 millimolar solution of urea, and a 150 millimolar solution of NaCl each have the same osmolarity.
colligative property |
|
colligative property
|
depends on total number not the nature/size/charge
|
|
osmolarity
eqn |
g(# of particles/mole)
/ C ([]mmol/L) more solutes = more osmolarity |
|
hyperosmotic
hypo-osmotic iso-osmotic |
hyper - higher osmolarity
hypo- lower osmolarity iso - 300 mOSM is standard intracellular osmolarity |
|
reflection coefficient
of 0 of 1 ex for each |
describe ease of solute passage through membrane
0 - freely permeable, solute exerts no osmotic pressure/no driving force urea is close to zero 1 - impermeable, provides osmotic pressure across the membrane ie serum albumin/ions/proteins etc |
|
vant hoff eqn
|
described osmotic pressure of a solution
SEE pg 211 |
|
tonicity
|
biological property
dependant on concentration of impermeable solute Tonicity is a functional term that describes the tendency of a solution to resist expansion of the intracellular volume. osmolarity * reflection coeff hypoTONIC solution causes cell to swell hyperTONIC solution causes cell to shrink |
|
what happens if you add more NaCl to an iso-tonic solution into ECF(extra cellular fluid)?
|
cell swells . . .
|
|
SEE PAGE 213!
AQP disease |
hf
AQP2 protein may be involved in most water imbalances Diabetes insipidus results in vasopressin which causes channels to be open all the time? |
|
Van't Hoff
|
1 osmolarity - [] of osmotically active particles. only dependent on total # of particles
gC (particles per molecule/ 2 reflection coefficient |
|
mM vs mOsm, calc osmolatiry
|
100mM urea 100mOsm
100mM NaCl 200mOsm 200mM CaCl2 600mOsm |
|
isoosmotic
|
two solutions have the same osmolarity
|
|
hyper osmotic
|
higher than 300 mOsm
|
|
hypo osmotic
|
lower than 300 mOsm
|
|
reflection coeff
|
ease through which [articles pass through the plasma mem
no go = 1 proteins good to go = .2 urea |
|
NOTE
CELL IS ALWAYS PLACED IN AN |
INFINITELY LARGE BATH. volume of cell cant change the volume of the surrounding solution
|
|
150mM NaCl
100mM NaCl 300mM urea |
means 300mOsm means isotonic
means 200mOsm means hypoosmotic, hypotonic(water is going in) 300mOsm - isoosmotic, hypotonic! urea will go into cell by diffusion to achieve [] balance, where solutes go, water will follow, thus the cell swells |
