Blood composition depends on: 1. Diet 2. Cellular metabolism 3. Urine output How the kidneys manage blood composition: 1. Excretion of nitrogenous wastes 2. Water/electrolyte balance of the blood 3. Ensuring proper blood pH © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

The main fluid compartments that water occupies: 1. Intracellular Fluid (ICF) : fluid inside cells 2. Extracellular Fluid (ICF) : fluid outside cells 1. interstitial fluid 2. blood plasma, CSF, lymph, humors of the eye Changes in electrolyte balance can influence blood volume/blood pressure, cellular activity © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

Electrolytes: charged particles (ions) that conduct an electrical current in aqueous solution allow reactions that require electrical charge to take place Cell membrane stability Muscle contraction Nerve impulse Body electrolytes include: Sodium (Na ⁺) Potassium (K ⁺) Calcium (Ca ⁺⁺) Magnesium (Mg ⁺⁺) © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
6
Osmoreceptors: cells in the hypothalamus Activated by small changes in blood composition Results in a dry mouth Reinforces the drive to drink water What is a diuretic? A substance that causes your kidneys to eliminate more salt and water than it should © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
7
Hormones regulate reabsorption of water and electrolytes by the kidneys Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) Hypothalamus tells posterior pituitary to release ADH prevents excessive water loss in the urine increases water reabsorption Aldosterone (produced by adrenal cortex) increases sodium and water reabsorption; decreases potassium reabsorption © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

Regulates blood pressure The juxtaglomerular (JG) apparatus of the renal tubules sense drop in BP or solute concentration Causes release of the enzyme renin into blood Renin produces angiotensin II Acts directly on the blood vessels to vasoconstrict Works to reduce filtrate volume © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

Ideal blood pH: between 7.35 and 7.45 Kidneys : biggest impact in controlling pH Other acid-base controlling systems Blood buffers Respiration © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

HCl H 2 CO 3 HCO 3 − H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ Cl − (a) A strong acid such as HCl dissociates completely into its ions. (b) A weak acid such as H 2 CO 3 does not dissociate completely.
11
The bicarbonate buffer system is a mixture of: sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ) carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3 ) © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
12
Bicarbonate ions (HCO 3 – ): react with strong acids to change them to weak acids HCl + NaHCO 3 H 2 CO 3 + NaCl strong acid weak base weak acid salt Carbonic acid :dissociates in the presence of a strong base to form a weak base and water NaOH + H 2 CO 3 NaHCO 3 + H 2 O strong base weak acidweak base water © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
13
As blood pH changes: respiratory rate can rise and fall to: retain CO 2 (decreasing the blood pH) remove CO 2 (increasing the blood pH) CO 2 + H 2 O H 2 CO 3 H + + HCO 3 − © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
14
When blood pH rises: Bicarbonate ions are excreted Hydrogen ions are retained by kidney tubules When blood pH falls: Bicarbonate ions are reabsorbed Hydrogen ions are secreted © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
