Function of body fluids 1. Facilitate the transport of nutrients, hormones, proteins, other molecules into the cells 1. Facilitate the transport of nutrients, hormones, proteins, other molecules into the cells 2. Aid in the removal of cellular metabolic waste products 2. Aid in the removal of cellular metabolic waste products 3. Provide the medium in which cellular metabolism takes place 3. Provide the medium in which cellular metabolism takes place

Function of body fluids 4. Regulate body temperature 4. Regulate body temperature 5. Provide lubrication of musculoskeletal joints 5. Provide lubrication of musculoskeletal joints 6. Act as a component in all body cavities (pericardial, pleural, spinal, peritoneal fluid – 1 % of TBF) 6. Act as a component in all body cavities (pericardial, pleural, spinal, peritoneal fluid – 1 % of TBF)

Peculiarities Fatty tissue contains less water than muscle. Fatty tissue contains less water than muscle. Older adults tend to lose muscle mass as they age, thereby decreasing the percent of body water Older adults tend to lose muscle mass as they age, thereby decreasing the percent of body water Infants have a higher percentage of body weight as water Infants have a higher percentage of body weight as water

Electrolyte composition of body fluids The primary body electrolytes are sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, hydrogen, bicarbonate. The primary body electrolytes are sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, hydrogen, bicarbonate. Major ICF electrolytes are potassium and magnesium, and phosphorus. Major ICF electrolytes are potassium and magnesium, and phosphorus. Major ECF electrolytes are sodium and chloride, and bicarbonate. Major ECF electrolytes are sodium and chloride, and bicarbonate.

Daily water balance Enters to body = 1,5-2,5 l Enters to body = 1,5-2,5 l With food With food With drinks With drinks Cellular metabolism Cellular metabolism Excreted with lungs (0.5 l), skin (0.5-0.6 l), GIT (0.1-0.2 l), kidneys (0.8-1.5 l) Excreted with lungs (0.5 l), skin (0.5-0.6 l), GIT (0.1-0.2 l), kidneys (0.8-1.5 l)

Organs, which maintaining water- salts homeostasis Lungs Lungs Heart Heart Pituitary Pituitary Adrenal cortex Adrenal cortex Para thyroids Para thyroids Kidneys Kidneys Blood vessels Blood vessels
13
Renal regulation Produce renin, which activates angiotensin I, which converted to angiotensin II (power vasoconstrictor), which increase glomerular filtration and urine output (if serum sodium is low with normal). And opposite reaction is in the case of high serum sodium.

And opposite reaction is in the case of high serum sodium.

Endocrine regulation In the hypothalamus is present the primary regulators of water - thirst center. In the hypothalamus is present the primary regulators of water - thirst center. In the posterior hypothalamus is present the osmoreceptors which is respond to changes in ECF osmolarity (increases of ECF osmolarity helps to secretes vassopressine - ADH). In the posterior hypothalamus is present the osmoreceptors which is respond to changes in ECF osmolarity (increases of ECF osmolarity helps to secretes vassopressine - ADH). Adrenal glands produce aldosterone. Adrenal glands produce aldosterone. Parathyroid secretes parathyroid hormones. Parathyroid secretes parathyroid hormones.
15
Cardiovascular regulation The cardiovascular system regulates fluid volume, pressure sensors, and atrial natriuretic factor. The cardiovascular system regulates fluid volume, pressure sensors, and atrial natriuretic factor.
16
Gastrointestinal regulation Secretion and absorption of fluids. Secretion and absorption of fluids.
17
Pulmonary regulation The elimination process and water loss with hyperventilation and mechanical ventilation. The elimination process and water loss with hyperventilation and mechanical ventilation.
18
Role of electrolytes 1. Its conduct electricity across cell membranes; they are needed for life processes to occur. 1. Its conduct electricity across cell membranes; they are needed for life processes to occur. 2. Maintain osmolality of body fluid compartments 2. Maintain osmolality of body fluid compartments 3.

Electrolyte balance 1. For a homeostatic condition to exist, equal amounts of anions and cations must be present on either side of the cell membrane. 1. For a homeostatic condition to exist, equal amounts of anions and cations must be present on either side of the cell membrane. 2. They can move from one to another side. 2. They can move from one to another side. 3. Extra cellular electrolytes are found in the interstitial and intravascular fluids where there is a balance of cations and anions. 3. Extra cellular electrolytes are found in the interstitial and intravascular fluids where there is a balance of cations and anions.
