Extracellular fluid (ECF) -accounts for the other one third of total body water and can be subdivided into the ___________________ that surrounds the cells in the tissue |
intravascular extracellular fluid (plasma) and the interstitial cell fluid |
|
The average water content of the human body varies from __________ of total body weight, with values declining with age and especially with obesity |
40% to 75% |
|
Normal plasma is about _______ water, with the remaining volume occupied by lipids and proteins |
93% |
|
example, maintaining a high intracellular concentration of K and a high extracellular (plasma) concentration of Na requires use of energy from ATP in _________ |
ATPase-dependent ion pumps |
|
is a physical property of a solution that is based on the concentration of solutes (expressed as millimoles) per kilogram of solvent (w/w). |
Osmolality |
|
is related to several changes in the properties of a solution relative to pure water, such as freezing point depression and vapor pressure decrease. |
Osmolality |
|
a major contributor to osmolality, |
Na + (sodium) |
|
•Is reported in milliosmoles per liter (w/v), but it is inaccurate in cases of hyperlipidemia or hyperproteinemia, for urine specimens; or in the presence of certain osmotically active substances, such as alcohol or mannitol |
Osmolarity |
|
The normal plasma osmolality __________ of plasma H2O |
275– 295 mOsm/kg |
|
are ions capable of carrying an electric charge. They are classified as anions or cations based on the type of charge they carry |
Electrolytes |
|
have a negative charge and move toward the anode |
Anions |
|
migrate in the direction of the cathode because of their positive charge |
Cations |
|
the fluid inside the cells and accounts for about two thirds of total body water. |
Intracellular fluid |
|
accounts for the other one third of total body water and can be subdivided into the intravascular extracellular fluid (plasma) and the interstitial cell fluid that surrounds the cells in the tissue |
Extracellular fluid (ECF) |
|
mechanism that requires energy to move ions across cellular membranes |
Active transport |
|
passive movement of ions across a membrane |
Diffusion |
|
depends on the size and charge of the ion being transported and on the nature of the membrane through which it is passing |
Diffusion |
|
- controls thirst mechanism |
•Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) |
|
AKA arginine vasopressin hormone (AVP) |
•Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) |
|
•Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is also called |
arginine vasopressin hormone (AVP) |
|
secretion is stimulated by the hypothalamus in response to an increased osmolality of blood |
•Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) |
|
This hormone is secreted by the posterior pituitary gland and acts on the cells of the collecting ducts in the kidneys to increase water reabsorption. As water is conserved, osmolality decreases, turning off AVP secretion |
•Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) |
|
responds primarily to a decreased blood volume |
THE RENIN–ANGIOTENSIN– ALDOSTERONE HORMONE SYSTEM |
|
_______ is secreted near the renal glomeruli in response to decreased renal blood flow (decreased blood volume or blood pressure) |
Renin |
|
_________ converts the hormone angiotensinogen ---> angiotensin I |
Renin |
|
________ converts angiotensin I –----> angiotensin II |
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) |
|
________- causes vasoconstriction, which quickly increases blood pressure, and secretion of aldosterone, which increases retention of Na + and the water that accompanies the Na |
Angiotensin II |
|
•In states of __________, the renal tubules reabsorb water at their maximal rate, resulting in the production of a small amount of maximally concentrated urine (high urine osmolality, 1,200 mOsm/L) |
Dehydration |
|
•In states of dehydration, the renal tubules reabsorb water at their maximal rate, resulting in the production of a small amount of maximally concentrated urine (high urine osmolality, ___________) |
1,200 mOsm/L |
|
In states of __________, the tubules reabsorb water at only a minimal rate, resulting in excretion of a large volume of extremely dilute urine (low urine osmolality, down to __________) |
