Two major fluid compartments
|
63% Intracellular fluid compartment(fluid within cells)(water is 99% OF THIS)
37% Extracellular fluid compartment(Fluid in plasma, lymph, aqueous humor, etc) |
|
Principle cations in ICF and ECF
|
ICF=Sodium(principle), chlorine and bi-carbonate
ECF=Potassium(principle), magnesium , phosphate-negatively charged proteins |
|
Source of water gain and water loss; what two systems responsible
|
Digestive system for water gain
Urinatry system for water loss |
|
Homeostatic mechanisms respond to changes in this fluid compartment.
|
ECF.
|
|
Effects of ADH, Aldosterone and natriuretic peptides
|
ADH-stimulates thirst/water conservation at kidneys(concentrates urine)
Aldosterone-(water follows salt) cause kidneys to conserve salt and stimulate water retention. Naturetic Peptides-reduce thirst, Block ADH and Aldosterone, cause diuresis and lower blood volume and pressure. |
|
Pressures involved in exchange between plasma and interstitial fluid
|
Net hyhdrostatic pressure=water out of plasma --into interstitial fluid.
Net colloid osmotic pressure draws water out of interstitial fluid and into plasma. |
|
Water accounts for what percentage body weight in males and females
|
Males are 60% water
Females are 50% water |
|
Homeostatic responses to severe water loss
|
Increase in ECf osmostic pressure, osmoreceptors detect increase in thirst, ADH & Renin secretion, decrease in urine output, drink water
|
|
Homeostatic responses to severe water gain
|
Decrease in ECF osmotic pressure, decrease in ADH release, urine output increases
|
|
Types of acids in the body
|
1. Volatile-carbonic-(can leave the solution & enter atmosphere)
2. Fixed-Sulfuric and Phosphoric acid- 3. Organic-are aerobic or anaerobic, (anaerobic-lactic acid) |
|
Major buffer systems which ones are there
|
Protein Buffer systems-plasma proteins and proteins within the cell-regulates ph within ICF and ECF-works with other buffers.
Carbonic-bicarbonate system-most important in ECF, most cells constantly generate co2, most co2 is converted to carbonic acid Phosphate buffer system-buffers ph of ICF and urine,is a weak acid |
