Chapter 44
2
2005-2006 Living in the world organisms had a choice: regulate their internal environment ▪ maintain relatively constant internal conditions conform to the external environment ▪ allow internal conditions to fluctuate along with external changes mammals internally regulatereptiles fluctuate with external conditions
3
Control of solute concentrations and balancing water gain and loss. Based upon osmosis. Osmolarity = total solute concentration expressed as molarity. -Hyperosmotic -Isoosmotic -Hypoosmotic * Water moves from a hypoosmotic solution to a hyperosmotic solution- H to L!
4
Osmoconformer- isoosmotic with surrounding. – All are marine animals. Osmoregulator- controls internal environment independent of external. Stenohaline- can be either of above- can’t tolerate substantial changes in external osmolarity. Euryhaline- can be either of above- can survive large external changes in osmolarity.
5
Keeping the balance animal body needs to coordinate many systems all at once ▪ temperature ▪ blood sugar levels ▪ energy production ▪ water balance & waste disposal ▪ nutrients ▪ ion balance ▪ cell growth maintaining a “steady state” condition
6
2005-2006 Osmoregulation solute balance & gain or loss of water Excretion elimination of nitrogenous wastes Thermoregulation maintain temperature within tolerable range
7
Most invertebrates are osmoconformers Must move solutes to keep homeostasis Most marine vertebrates are osmoregulators Ocean strongly dehydrating Fish balance by drinking seawater Use gills and kidneys to get rid of salt Chloride cells in gills Retain water in kidneys
8
Sharks are not hypoosmotic because tissue: High amounts of urea- a N waste TMAO- organic molecule protects from urea damage Together these maintain an osmolarity close to seawater Sharks are often considered osmoconformers Body actually hyperosmotic water enters body Sharks don’t drink water Excess water removed in kidneys
9
Opposite problems of marine animals Bodies must be hyperosmotic Problem of gaining water by osmosis and losing salts by diffusion Balance by drinking no water and excreting large amounts of dilute urine Salt replenished by eating and uptake across gills Chloride cells in gills move salts in
10
2005-2006 Why do all land animals have to conserve water? always need water for life always lose water (breathing & waste) may lose life while searching for water Water balance freshwater = hypotonic ▪ manage water moving into cells ▪ salt loss saltwater = hypertonic ▪ manage water loss from cells ▪ salt accumulation land ▪ manage water loss ▪ need to conserve water
11
Threat of dehydration Humans die if lose 12% of body water Body covering Nocturnal Lose water in urine, feces, across skin, gas exchange etc. Balance by eating and drinking Produce water by metabolism
12
Energy Cost Cost depends on how large difference is between internal and external environments Diffusion will try to equalize and so osmoregulators must expend energy to keep osmotic balance Active Transport- to manipulate solute concentration
14
1 or more layers of specialized epithelial cells that regulate solute movement Specific solutes in specific directions
15
2005-2006 Salt secreting glands of marine birds remove salt from blood allowing them to drink sea water during months at sea secrete a fluid much more salty than ocean water How does structure of epithelial cells govern water regulation? different proteins in membranes sea birds pump salt out of blood freshwater fish pump salts into blood from water
16
| What waste products? what do we breakdown? ▪ carbohydrates = CHO CO 2 + H 2 O ▪ lipids = CHO CO 2 + H 2 O ▪ proteins = CHON CO 2 + H 2 O + N ▪ nucleic acids = CHOPN CO 2 + H 2 O + P + N ▪ relatively small amount in cell H H N –C– R | H C–OH || OH CO 2 + H 2 O NH 2 = ammonia Animals can’t store proteins
17
Ammonia (NH 3 ) very toxic ▪ carcinogenic very soluble ▪ easily crosses membranes must dilute it & get rid of it… fast! How you get rid of N-wastes depends on who you are (evolutionary relationship) where you live (habitat)
18
2005-2006 Ammonia most toxic freshwater organisms Urea less toxic terrestrial Uric acid least toxic egg layers most water conservative N waste
19
2005-2006 Nitrogen waste disposal in water if you have a lot of water you can dilute ammonia then excrete ▪ freshwater fish pass ammonia continuously through gills ▪ need to excrete a lot of water anyway so excrete very dilute urine ▪ freshwater invertebrates pass ammonia through their whole body surface
20
Nitrogen waste disposal on land evolved less toxic waste product ▪ need to conserve water ▪ urea = less soluble = less toxic kidney ▪ filter wastes out of blood ▪ reabsorb H 2 O ▪ excrete waste ▪ urine = urea, salts, excess sugar & H 2 O urine is very concentrated concentrated NH 3 would be too toxic
21
2NH 2 + CO 2 = urea combined in liver Requires energy to produce worth the investment of energy Carried to kidneys by circulatory system H H N H H N CO
22
2005-2006 Nitrogen waste disposal in egg no place to get rid of waste in egg need even less soluble molecule ▪ uric acid = less soluble = less toxic birds, reptiles, insects
23
Polymerized urea large molecule precipitates out of solution ▪ doesn’t harm embryo in egg ▪ white dust in egg ▪ adults excrete white paste ▪ no liquid waste ▪ white bird poop! And that folks… is why a male bird doesn’t have… a you know what!
24
Protonephridia- flatworms Network of dead end tubes external opening Tubes branch through body Cell units called “flame bulbs” cap branches of each protonephridium Covered with cilia draws water and solutes from interstitial fluid through bulb releasing to outside Urine has low solute concentration
25
Annelids- earthworms Excretory organ that open internally to coelom Each segment of worm has a pair of metanephridia Pass dilute urine
26
Insects and terrestrial arthropods Remove wastes and osmoregulate Come out from dead end tubes in hemolymph to digestive tract
27
Key functions filtration ▪ body fluids (blood) collected ▪ water & soluble material removed reabsorption ▪ reabsorb needed substances back to blood secretion ▪ pump out unwanted substances to urine excretion ▪ remove excess substances & toxins from body
28
Urinary system filters blood & helps maintain water balance (osmoregulation) pair of bean-shaped kidneys supplied with blood ▪ renal artery ▪ renal vein
29
2005-2006
31
nephron
32
that’s called a “counter current exchange system” Functional units of kidney 1 million nephrons per kidney Function remove urea & other solutes (salt, sugar…) Process liquid of blood (plasma) filtered into nephron selective recovery of valuable solutes
33
Interaction of circulatory & excretory systems Circulatory system glomerulus = ball of capillaries Excretory system nephron Bowman’s capsule loop of Henle ▪ descending limb ▪ ascending limb collecting duct
34
Filtered out H 2 O glucose salts / ions urea Not filtered out cells proteins
35
Descending limb Ascending limb Proximal tubule reabsorbed ▪ NaCl ▪ active transport Na + ▪ Cl - follows by diffusion ▪ H 2 O ▪ glucose ▪ HCO 3 - ▪ bicarbonate ▪ buffer for blood pH
36
Descending limb Ascending limb Loop of Henle descending limb many aquaporins in cell membranes high permeability to H 2 O low permeability to salt reabsorbed H 2 O structure fits function!
37
Descending limb Ascending limb structure fits function! Loop of Henle ascending limb low permeability to H 2 O Cl - pump Na + follows by diffusion reabsorbed salts maintains osmotic gradient
38
Distal tubule reabsorbed salts H 2 O HCO 3 - bicarbonate
39
Nephron: Reabsorption & Excretion Collecting duct reabsorbed H 2 O excretion urea passed through to bladder
40
How is all this re-absorption achieved? tight osmotic control to reduce the energy cost of excretion as much as possible, use diffusion instead of active transport
41
Not filtered out (remain in blood) cells u proteins Reabsorbed: active transport Na + u amino acids Cl - u glucose Reabsorbed: diffusion Na + u Cl - Reabsorbed: osmosis H 2 O Excreted urea u H 2 O any excess solutes
42
2005-2006 Monitor blood osmolarity amount of dissolved material in blood in brain ADH = anti-diuretic hormone High solutes
43
High blood osmolarity level too many solutes in blood ▪ dehydration, salty foods release ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) made in hypothalamus and stored in posterior pituitary (in brain)- also called vasopressin increases permeability of collecting duct & reabsorption of water in kidneys ▪ increase water absorption back into blood ▪ decrease urination also stimulates thirst = drink more Get more water into blood fast Alcohol inhibits ADH… makes you urinate a lot!
44
Low blood osmolarity level or low blood pressure Low solutes renin activates angiotensinogen angiotensin triggers aldosterone aldosterone increases absorption of NaCl & H 2 O in kidney
46
Low blood osmolarity level or low blood pressure JGA releases renin in kidney renin converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin angiotensin causes arterioles to constrict ▪ increase blood pressure angiotensin triggers release of aldosterone from adrenal gland increases reabsorption of NaCl & H 2 O in kidneys ▪ puts more water & salts back in blood Get more water & salt into blood fast Why such a rapid response system?
49
Kidney disease is one of the costliest illnesses in the U.S. today. Each year, more than 50,000 Americans die because of Kidney Disease. More than 260,000 Americans suffer from chronic renal failure and need dialysis or kidney transplantation to stay alive. More than 35,000 patients are waiting for kidney transplants, but only about 11,000 will receive transplants because of a shortage of suitable organ donors. The Facts About Kidney Disease
50
Review: how do your kidneys function? Your kidneys do some important jobs to keep your body healthy: Balance your body fluids. Excess fluid is filtered out as urine. Remove waste products from your blood. Remove drugs and toxins from your body. Release hormones into your blood to : - Control blood pressure - Make red blood cells - Keep your bones healthy.
51
Kidney diseases are diseases of the kidney substance that alter the structure and function of the kidney. There are many diseases of the kidneys such as glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis & polycystic kidney.The treatment and potential for recovery depends on the type of disease. Kidney diseases can lead to kidney failure. Normal Kidneys Polycystic kidneys Healthy kidneys eliminate waste from the blood & maintain the body’s normal chemical balance. Fluid filled sacs, called cysts, characterize autosomal Dominant polycystic kidney disease. What are kidney diseases?
52
Kidney failure is a condition where the kidneys are incapable of performing its normal function. Certain toxic substances which should have been excreted such as urea and creatinine are accumulated in the body. The two main causes of kidney failure are Diabetes & High Blood Pressure. Many other conditions can harm the kidneys. These include : Glomerulonephritis, a disease that causes inflammation in the kidneys. Inherited diseases like polycystic kidney disease, which causes many cysts to form in the kidneys. IgA nephropathy or other nephropathy. Essentially an autoimmune problem. Exact trigger not well known. Very large, long standing kidney stone. NSAID or pain killer like ponstan, voltaren can cause kidney failure. What is kidney failure ?
53
Who is at Risk ? Risk factors for chronic kidney disease include : Diabetes High blood pressure A family history of chronic kidney disease Older age Drug overdose, excessive use of alcohol Long term use of pain medications such as aspirin, panadol, ibuprofen and treatment with antibiotic.
54
1.Blood in urine. Most often not visible. But sometimes may appear tea color urine. 2.Protein in urine, low urine output. 3.Swelling of face and legs 4.Tiredness, fatigue 5.Pale and sallow complexion 6.Have dry and itchy skin 7.Poor appetite, sometimes accompanied with nausea and vomiting 8.High blood pressure. Especially when it is hard to bring it to good control. How to early detect kidney ailments?
55
Dialysis is a type of treatment that removes wastes and excess fluid from your blood. 3 forms of dialysis can be done – hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis ( CAPD ). A kidney transplant is an operation to place a new kidney in your body to take over the work of your failed kidneys. The kidney may come from someone who has died or from a living donor who may be a close relatives, friend or possibly a stranger who wished to donate a kidney to anyone in need of a transplant. You need dialysis when you develop End stage renal disease – usually by the time you lose about 85 – 90% of your Kidney function. Dialysis and Kidney Transplant – what are they ?
56
Kidney transplantation is the most effective therapy for end-stage renal disease. The transplanted organ can come from either a live donor or deceased donor. Most deceased donor organs come from brain dead donors. Non-standard criteria donors: Expanded criteria donors (ECD). Donation after cardiac death (DCD).
