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

|
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 |
