2 Copyright © 2013, 2010, 2006, 2002 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. H OMEOSTASIS Proper functioning of all body systems; requires fluid and electrolyte balance Extracellular fluid Intracellular fluid Interstitial fluid Transcellular fluids

3 Copyright © 2013, 2010, 2006, 2002 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. F ILTRATION Movement of fluid through cell or blood vessel membrane because of differences in water volume pressing against confining walls

4 Copyright © 2013, 2010, 2006, 2002 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. H YDROSTATIC P RESSURE “Water-pushing pressure” Force that pushes water outward from a confined space through a membrane Amount of water in any body fluid space determines pressure

5 Copyright © 2013, 2010, 2006, 2002 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. C LINICAL S IGNIFICANCE : B LOOD P RESSURE Example of hydrostatic filtering forces, moving whole blood from the heart to capillaries where filtration occurs to exchange water, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and tissues

6 Copyright © 2013, 2010, 2006, 2002 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. C LINICAL S IGNIFICANCE : E DEMA Develops with changes in normal hydrostatic pressure differences

7 Copyright © 2013, 2010, 2006, 2002 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. C LINICAL S IGNIFICANCE : D IFFUSION Free movement of particles (solute) across permeable membrane from area of higher to lower concentration Important in transport of most electrolytes; other particles diffuse through cell membranes Sodium pumps Glucose cannot enter most cell membranes without help of insulin

8 Copyright © 2013, 2010, 2006, 2002 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. C LINICAL S IGNIFICANCE : O SMOSIS & F ILTRATION Act together at capillary membrane to maintain normal ECF and ICF volumes Thirst mechanism is example of how osmosis helps maintain homeostasis Feeling of thirst caused by activation of brain cells responding to changes in ECG osmolarity

9 Copyright © 2013, 2010, 2006, 2002 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. F LUID B ALANCE Closely linked to/affected by electrolyte concentrations Fluid intake Fluid loss Minimum urine amount needed to excrete toxic waste products = 400 to 600 mL Insensible water loss – through skin, lungs, stool

10 Copyright © 2013, 2010, 2006, 2002 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. H ORMONAL R EGULATION OF F LUID B ALANCE Aldosterone Antidiuretic hormone Natriuretic peptides

11 Copyright © 2013, 2010, 2006, 2002 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. S IGNIFICANCE OF F LUID B ALANCE : R ENIN -A NGIOTENSIN II P ATHWAY Blood (plasma) volume and intracellular fluid most important to keep in balance Kidneys are major regulator of water and sodium balance; maintain blood and perfusion pressure to all tissues/organs When the kidneys sense a low parameter, they secrete renin

12 Copyright © 2013, 2010, 2006, 2002 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. C LINICAL A PPLICATION Renin-angiotensin II pathway is greatly stimulated with shock, or when stress response is stimulated Patients with hypertension often take ACE inhibitors

13 Copyright © 2013, 2010, 2006, 2002 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. ACE I NHIBITORS Disrupt renin-angiotensin II pathway by reducing amount of ACE produced With less angiotensin II, less vasoconstriction and reduced peripheral resistance Greater excretion of water and sodium in urine By locking angiotensin II receptors, blood pressure lowers

14 Copyright © 2013, 2010, 2006, 2002 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. D EHYDRATION Fluid intake/retention does not meet body’s fluid needs; results in fluid volume deficit Consideration for older adults

Hyponatremia C. Dehydration D. Hypocalcemia

31 Copyright © 2013, 2010, 2006, 2002 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Q UESTION 3 A 25-year-old student has been taken to an urgent care clinic because of dehydration. She says she has had “the flu,” with vomiting and diarrhea “all night” and admits that she has had very little to eat or drink. She now says the GI symptoms have subsided but she feels weak. The nurse expects which type of rehydration to occur? A.Oral rehydration therapy with water B.Oral rehydration therapy with a solution containing glucose and electrolytes C.Oral rehydration therapy with tea D.IV fluid replacement
