Exchange of fluid can move between two ECF components. What are the components of ECF?
o Blood plasma (proteins)
o Interstitial fluid
Filtration and Reabsorption
Determined by the balance of hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressure ACROSS capillary membrane

o Fluid moving across the capillary membrane to and from the plasma and interstitial fluid
Osmosis
determined by the osmotic effect of smaller solutes. Water moves across the cell membrane rapidly, all other polar and charged substances require specific transporters.
During osmosis, where is water moving?
Across the cellular membrane to and from the interstitial and intracellular fluid
Which direction does water move?
In the direction that reflects osmotic strength between ICF and ECF

o Water moves from hypotonic to hypertonic to equilibrate the osmotic equilibrium
Movement across the capillary membranes depends on what?
Movement across capillary membranes is by nonselective permeability.
Movement across capillary membrane is characterized by...
...a relatively nonselective permeability to small molecules (ions, glucose, amino acids) which can freely move across most capillaries
Transport in and out between the ICF and ECF has to cross...
...cross the cell membrane of cells
Which molecules cannot freely move across and require transporters or ion channels?
Polar and charged substances
Body fluid homeostasis is maintained by...
water is a substance that moves more easily across the membrane because it moves by osmotic forces
Interstitial fluid
11.0 L
Intracellular fluid
28.0 L
Plasma
3.0 L
Extracellular fluid
14 L
Ionic Composition of Extracellular and Intracellular Fluids

• Extracellular has cations which means there's more...
More Sodium - Na+
Ionic Composition of Extracellular and Intracellular Fluids

• Extracellular has anions which means there's more...
More Chloride and CO3-
Ionic Composition of Extracellular and Intracellular Fluids

• Intracellular has cations which means there's more...
More Potassium - K+
Ionic Composition of Extracellular and Intracellular Fluids

• Intracellular has anions which means there's more...
More phosphate and protein
Regulation of Water Movements: Osmosis
• Net diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of high water concentration (hypotonic solution) to one that has a lower water concentration (hypertonic solution)
Hypotonic
Cell swells
Hypertonic
Cell shrinks
Isotonic
No change (5% glucose or normal saline)
Where does filtration and reabsorption occur?

Where does osmosis occur?
Capillary membrane is nonselective

Cell membrane is selective
