1
How does water move in the body? The cell membrane is semi-permeable Water can move freely Water is in equilibrium between cells and extracellular fluids (osmotic equilibrium) Ions and solutes are disequilibrium Osmosis water moves along its concentration gradient across a semi- permeable membrane
2
Distribution of solutes in the body fluid compartments plasma Intracellular fluid Interstitial fluid
3
Distribution of solutes in the body fluid compartments Ions and solutes are in disequilibrium
4
Water can cross the cell membrane Na+ K+ Na+ K+ proteins
5
Osmosis water moves along its concentration gradient across a semi-permeable membrane Water moves to dilute a solute
6
Osmosis
7
Osmotic pressure is pressure exerted to counter the movement of water to dilute something
8
Osmolarity Describes the number of particles in solution Know this and the direction of water movement can be predicted # of particles in 1 liter of solution Is expressed as osmoles/L, or OsM If very dilute: milliosmoles/L, or mOsM Human body, approx 300 mOsM
9
Osmolarity: number of particles in 1L 1 M glucose = 1 OsM glucose 1M NaCl = 2 OsM NaCl, because NaCl disassociates to 2 ions in solution. Na+ Cl-
10
Compare the osmolarity of 2 solutions: Solution A 1 OsM glucose A is hyposmotic to B (A has fewer particles than B) Solution B 2 OsM glucose B is hyperosmotic to A (B has more particles than A)
11
Solution C 1 OsM NaCl C is hypotonic to B (C has fewer particles/L than B) Compare the osmolarity of 2 solutions: Solution B 2 OsM glucose B is hyperosmotic to C (B has more particles/L than A)
12
Compare the osmolarity of 2 solutions: Solution A 1 OsM glucose A is isosmotic to C Solution C 1 OsM NaCl C is isosmotic to A
13
Osmosis, the diffusion of water across the cell membrane, has consequences on cells After water leaves a cell, the volume changes (it can shrink)
14
Tonicity Describes how the cell volume will change in a solution
15
P is penetrating solute N is nonpenetrating solute
18
Water moved into the cell to dilute the solutes.
19
Cell gains volume in a hypotonic solution Cell looses volume in a hypertonic solution Cell keeps the same volume in an isotonic solution.
20
Tonicity indicates how the cell volume will change in a solution In a hypotonic solution, the cell has a higher concentration of a nonpenetrating solute than the solution, water moves in. In a hypertonic solution, the cell has a lower concentration of nonpenetrating solute than the solution, water leaves the cell
21
During intavenous injection: 0.9% (normal) saline isotonic D5--.9% saline (5% dextrose) isotonic D5W hypotonic 0.45% saline hypotonic Vs dehydration hypotonic Vs blood loss isotonic
