Composition of Body Fluids

•Water: the universal solvent

• Solvent = substances in which solutes are dissolved

•Solutes:

•Nonelectrolytes

• Electrolytes

Page 5: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Composition of Body Fluid

•Nonelectrolytes: have bonds that do not dissociate in water (no electrical charge)

•most are organic

•e.g., glucose, lipids, creatinine, and urea

• Electrolytes: dissociate into ions in water (have an electrical charge)

•E.g., inorganic salts, inorganic and organic acids and bases, some proteins

Page 6: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Composition of Body Fluids

•Electrolytes

• The most abundant (most numerous) solutes

•Have greater osmotic power than nonelectrolytes because they dissociate and form two molecules, so may contribute to fluid shifts

•E.g., NaCl Na+, Cl- vs. glucose

•Determine the chemical and physical reactions of fluids

Regulation of Water Intake

•Thirst mechanism is the driving force for water intake

•The hypothalamic thirst center osmoreceptors are stimulated by

• Increase in plasma osmolality of 2–3%

• Dry mouth

• Substantial decrease in blood volume or pressure

Page 15: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Regulation of Water Intake

•Drinking water creates inhibition of the thirst center

•Inhibitory feedback signals include

•Relief of dry mouth

• Activation of stomach and intestinal stretch receptors

• These signals inhibit the thirst center before water is absorbed to prevent overhydration

Disorders of Water Balance: Dehydration

•Negative fluid balance

• ECF water loss due to: hemorrhage, severe burns, prolonged vomiting or diarrhea, profuse sweating, water deprivation, diuretic abuse

• Signs and symptoms: thirst, dry flushed skin, oliguria (less than 400ml output of urine)

•May lead to weight loss, fever, mental confusion, hypovolemic shock, and loss of electrolytes

Disorders of Water Balance: Hypotonic Hydration

•Cellular overhydration, or water intoxication

•Occurs with renal insufficiency or rapid excess water ingestion

•ECF is diluted hyponatremia net osmosis into tissue cells swelling of cells severe metabolic disturbances (nausea, vomiting, muscular cramping, cerebral edema) possible death

Disorders of Water Balance: Edema

•Atypical accumulation of IF fluid tissue swelling

•Due to anything that increases flow of fluid out of the blood or hinders its return

• Blood pressure

• Capillary permeability (usually due to inflammatory chemicals)

• Incompetent venous valves, localized blood vessel blockage

• Congestive heart failure, hypertension, blood volume

Page 24: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Edema

•Hindered fluid return occurs with an imbalance in colloid osmotic (oncotic) pressures, e.g., hypoproteinemia ( plasma proteins)

• Fluids fail to return at the venous ends of capillary beds

•Results from protein malnutrition, liver disease, or glomerulonephritis, PPIs/acid blockers

Page 25: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Edema

•Blocked (or surgically removed) lymph vessels

•Cause leaked proteins to accumulate in IF

• Colloid osmotic (oncotic) pressure of IF draws fluid from the blood

•Results in low blood pressure and severely impaired circulation

Page 26: Document26

Electrolyte Balance

Page 27: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Electrolyte Balance

•Generally refers to salt balance

• Important in controlling fluid movement and provide minerals essential for excitability, secretory activity, and membrane permeability

•Most important: Na

•In ECF, main cation that contributes to osmotic pressure

•REMEMBER: WATER FOLLOWS SALT

• Kidneys regulate balance of Na, K

Page 28: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Regulation of Sodium Balance: Aldosterone

•Na balance is key in blood pressure/volume

•Na+ reabsorption

• 65% is reabsorbed in the proximal tubules

• 25% is reclaimed in the loops of Henle

• Aldosterone active reabsorption of remaining Na+ in DCT and collecting duct

•Water follows Na+

• Through aquaporins if ADH is present

•Or from ICF

Page 29: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Regulation of Sodium Balance: Aldosterone

•Renin-angiotensin mechanism is the main trigger for aldosterone release

•Granular cells of JGA secrete renin in response to

•Sympathetic nervous system stimulation

• Filtrate osmolality

• Stretch (due to blood pressure)

Page 30: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Regulation of Sodium Balance: Aldosterone

•Renin catalyzes the production of angiotensin II, which prompts aldosterone release from the adrenal cortex

•Aldosterone release is also triggered by elevated K+ levels in the ECF

•Aldosterone brings about its effects slowly (hours to days)

Potassium Balance

•Chief intracellular cation

•Required for normal neuromuscular functioning and metabolic activities

•The heart is very sensitive to K balance

Page 37: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Regulation of Potassium Balance

•Importance of potassium:

• Affects RMP in neurons and muscle cells (especially cardiac muscle)

• ECF [K+] RMP depolarization reduced excitability

• ECF [K+] hyperpolarization and nonresponsiveness

Page 38: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Regulation of Potassium Balance

•H+ shift in and out of cells

• Leads to corresponding shifts in K+ in the opposite direction to maintain cation balance

• Interferes with activity of excitable cells

• ECF K levels rise with acidosis as K leaves and H+ enters the cell

• ECF K levels fall with alkalosis as K enters the cell and H+ leaves the cell

Page 39: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Regulation of Potassium Balance

•Influence of aldosterone

• Stimulates K+ secretion (and Na+ reabsorption) by principal cells

• Increased K+ in the adrenal cortex causes

•Release of aldosterone

•Potassium secretion

Page 40: Document26

Regulation of Calcium

•Ca2+ in ECF is important for

•Neuromuscular excitability

• Blood clotting

•Cell membrane permeability

• Secretory activities

Page 41: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Regulation of Calcium

•Hypocalcemia excitability and muscle tetany

•Hypercalcemia Inhibits neurons and muscle cells, may cause heart arrhythmias

•Calcium balance is controlled by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin

Page 42: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Influence of PTH

•Bones are the largest reservoir for Ca2+ and phosphates

•PTH promotes increase in calcium levels by targeting bones, kidneys, and small intestine (indirectly through vitamin D)

•Calcium reabsorption and phosphate excretion go hand in hand

Page 43: Document26

Hypocalcemia (low blood Ca2+) stimulatesparathyroid glands to release PTH.

Rising Ca2+ inblood inhibitsPTH release.

1 PTH activatesosteoclasts: Ca2+

and PO43S released

into blood.

2 PTH increasesCa2+ reabsorptionin kidneytubules.

3 PTH promoteskidney’s activation of vitamin D,which increases Ca2+ absorptionfrom food.

Influence of PTH

•Normally 75% of filtered phosphates are actively reabsorbed in the PCT (follows Na)

•PTH inhibits this by decreasing the Tm

Page 45: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Regulation of Anions

•Cl– is the major anion in the ECF

•Helps maintain the osmotic pressure of the blood

• 99% of Cl– is reabsorbed under normal pH conditions

•When acidosis occurs, fewer chloride ions are reabsorbed (more HCO3- reabsorbed to restore blood pH)

•Other anions have transport maximums and excesses are excreted in urine

Page 46: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Acid-Base Balance

•pH affects all functional proteins and biochemical reactions

•Normal pH of body fluids

• Arterial blood: pH 7.4

• Venous blood and IF fluid: pH 7.35

• ICF: pH 7.0

•Alkalosis or alkalemia: arterial blood pH >7.45

•Acidosis or acidemia: arterial pH < 7.35

Page 47: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Acid-Base Balance

•Most H+ is produced by metabolism

• Phosphoric acid from breakdown of phosphorus-containing proteins in ECF

• Lactic acid from anaerobic respiration of glucose

• Fatty acids and ketone bodies from fat metabolism

•H+ liberated when CO2 is converted to HCO3–

in blood

Page 48: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Chemical Buffer Systems

• Chemical buffer: system of one or more compounds that act to resist pH changes when strong acid or base is added

1. Bicarbonate buffer system

2. Phosphate buffer system

3. Protein buffer system

Page 49: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Bicarbonate Buffer System

•Mixture of H2CO3 (weak acid) and salts of HCO3

– (e.g., NaHCO3, a weak base)

•Buffers ICF and ECF

•The only important ECF buffer

Page 50: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Physiological Buffer Systems

•Respiratory and renal systems

• Act more slowly than chemical buffer systems

•Have more capacity than chemical buffer systems

Page 51: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Respiratory Regulation of H+

•Respiratory system eliminates CO2

•A reversible equilibrium exists in the blood:

•CO2 + H2O H2CO3 H+ + HCO3–

•During CO2 unloading the reaction shifts to the left (and H+ is incorporated into H2O)

•During CO2 loading the reaction shifts to the right (and H+ is buffered by proteins)

Page 52: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Respiratory Regulation of H+

•Hypercapnia (increased H+) activates medullary chemoreceptors

•Rising plasma H+ activates peripheral chemoreceptors

•More CO2 is removed from the blood

•H+ concentration is reduced

Page 53: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Respiratory Regulation of H+

•Alkalosis depresses the respiratory center

•Respiratory rate and depth decrease

•H+ concentration increases

•Respiratory system impairment causes acid-base imbalances

•Hypoventilation respiratory acidosis

•Hyperventilation respiratory alkalosis

Page 54: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Acid-Base Balance

•Chemical buffers cannot eliminate excess acids or bases from the body

• Lungs eliminate volatile carbonic acid by eliminating CO2

• Kidneys eliminate other fixed metabolic acids (phosphoric, uric, and lactic acids and ketones) and prevent metabolic acidosis

Page 55: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Renal Mechanisms of Acid-Base Balance

•Most important renal mechanisms

•Conserving (reabsorbing) or generating new HCO3

• Excreting HCO3–

•Generating or reabsorbing one HCO3– is the

same as losing one H+

•Excreting one HCO3– is the same as gaining

one H+

Page 56: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Renal Mechanisms of Acid-Base Balance

•Renal regulation of acid-base balance depends on secretion of H+

•H+ secretion occurs in the PCT and in collecting duct type A intercalated cells:

• The H+ comes from H2CO3 produced in reactions catalyzed by carbonic anhydrase inside the cells

• See Steps 1 and 2 of the following figure

Page 57: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 26.12

1 CO2 combines with water within the tubule cell, forming H2CO3.

2 H2CO3 is quickly split, forming H+ and bicarbonate ion (HCO3

–).

3a H+ is secreted into the filtrate.

3b For each H+ secreted, a HCO3– enters the

peritubular capillary blood either via symport with Na+ or via antiport with CI–.

4 Secreted H+ combines with HCO3– in the

filtrate, forming carbonic acid (H2CO3). HCO3–

disappears from the filtrate at the same rate that HCO3

– (formed within the tubule cell) enters the peritubular capillary blood.

5 The H2CO3

formed in the filtrate dissociates to release CO2

and H2O.

6 CO2 diffuses into the tubule cell, where it triggers further H+

secretion.

Abnormalities of Acid-Base Balance

•Respiratory acidosis and alkalosis

•Metabolic acidosis and alkalosis

Page 61: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Respiratory Acidosis and Alkalosis

•The most important indicator of adequacy of respiratory function is PCO2

level (normally 35–45

mm Hg)

• PCO2 above 45 mm Hg respiratory acidosis

•Most common cause of acid-base imbalances

•Due to decrease in ventilation or gas exchange

•Characterized by falling blood pH and rising PCO2

Page 62: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Respiratory Acidosis and Alkalosis

•PCO2 below 35 mm Hg respiratory alkalosis

• A common result of hyperventilation due to stress or pain

Page 63: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Metabolic Acidosis and Alkalosis

•Any pH imbalance not caused by abnormal blood CO2 levels

•Indicated by abnormal HCO3– levels

Page 64: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Metabolic Acidosis and Alkalosis

•Causes of metabolic acidosis

• Ingestion of too much alcohol ( acetic acid)

• Excessive loss of HCO3– (e.g., persistent

diarrhea)

• Accumulation of lactic acid, shock, ketosis in diabetic crisis, starvation, and kidney failure

Page 65: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Metabolic Acidosis and Alkalosis

•Metabolic alkalosis is much less common than metabolic acidosis

• Indicated by rising blood pH and HCO3–

•Caused by vomiting of the acid contents of the stomach or by intake of excess base (e.g., antacids)

Page 66: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Effects of Acidosis and Alkalosis

• Blood pH below 7 (acidosis) depression of CNS coma death

• Blood pH above 7.8 (alkalosis) excitation of nervous system muscle tetany, extreme nervousness, convulsions, respiratory arrest

Page 67: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Respiratory and Renal Compensations

•If acid-base imbalance is due to malfunction of a physiological buffer system, the other one compensates

•Respiratory system attempts to correct metabolic acid-base imbalances

• Kidneys attempt to correct respiratory acid-base imbalances

Page 68: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Respiratory Compensation

•In metabolic acidosis

•High H+ levels stimulate the respiratory centers

•Rate and depth of breathing are elevated

• Blood pH is below 7.35 and HCO3– level is low

• As CO2 is eliminated by the respiratory system, PCO2

falls below normal

Page 69: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Respiratory Compensation

•Respiratory compensation for metabolic alkalosis is revealed by:

• Slow, shallow breathing, allowing CO2 accumulation in the blood

•High pH (over 7.45) and elevated HCO3– levels

Page 70: Document26

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Renal Compensation

•Hypoventilation causes elevated PCO2

•(respiratory acidosis)

•Renal compensation is indicated by high HCO3

– levels

•Respiratory alkalosis exhibits low PCO2 and

high pH

•Renal compensation is indicated by decreasing HCO3

– levels
