Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.3 Key Concepts Water compartments inside and outside cells maintain a balanced distribution of total body water. The concentration of various solute particles in water determines internal shifts and movement of water.

5
Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.5 Basic Principles A unified whole –Virtually every space inside and outside the cells is filled with water-based fluids Body water compartments –Dynamic systems within the body –Intracellular or extracellular Particles in the water solution –Determine all internal shifts and balances between compartments

All rights reserved.14 Body Water Amount and Distribution Extracellular fluid –Total body water outside cells –One quarter of extracellular fluid is blood plasma –Three quarters is water surrounding cells and bathing tissues, water in dense tissue, and water moving through the body as secretions –Interstitial fluid Fluid surrounding cells in tissues
15
Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.15 Body Water Amount and Distribution, cont’d Intracellular fluid –Total body water inside the cells –Twice the volume of that outside the cells Overall water balance –Average adult metabolizes 2.5 to 3 L of water/day

17
Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.17 Body Water Amount and Distribution, cont’d Water intake –Preformed water in liquids that are consumed –Preformed water in foods that are eaten –Product of cell oxidation –Older adults must maintain proper intake of water because of the tendency for dehydration
18
Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.18 Body Water Amount and Distribution, cont’d Water output –Obligatory water loss Leaves the body through kidneys, skin, lungs, and feces –Optional water loss Varies according to climate and physical activity
19
Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.19 Sources of Fluid Intake and Output
20
Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.20 Electrolytes Small, inorganic substances that break apart in a solution and carry an electrical charge (ions) Balance between cation and anion concentration maintains chemical neutrality necessary for life
21

22
Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.22 Plasma Proteins Mainly albumin and globulin Organic compounds of large molecular size Retained in blood vessels Control water movement Colloids guard blood volume (colloidal osmotic pressure)

25
Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.25 Key Concepts, cont’d A state of dynamic equilibrium among all parts of the body’s water balance system sustains life.
26
Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.26 Separating Membranes Capillary membrane –Thin and porous –Water molecules move freely across them Cell membrane –Thicker membranes –Constructed to protect and nourish cell contents
27
Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.27 Moving Water and Solutes Across Membranes Osmosis –Process or force that impels water molecules to move throughout body –Moves water molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration Diffusion –Force by which particles in solution move outward in all directions from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration

29
Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.29 Moving Water and Solutes Across Membranes Filtration –Water is forced through membrane pores when pressure outside the membrane is different Active transport –Necessary to carry particles “upstream” across separating membranes Pinocytosis –Larger molecules attach to thicker cell membrane, then are engulfed by cell

Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.32 Capillary Fluid Shift Mechanism Cells’ water and nutrients must move from capillaries to cells. Water and cell metabolites must return to capillaries. Uses opposing fluid pressures: –Hydrostatic pressure –Colloidal osmotic pressure

All rights reserved.34 Organ Systems Involved in Body Water Balance Gastrointestinal circulation –Water from blood plasma is continually secreted into the gastrointestinal tract. –In the latter portion of the intestine, most water and electrolytes are reabsorbed into the blood. –Is maintained in isotonicity.

39
Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.39 Acid-Base Buffer System Handles an excess of acid or base Mixture of acid and base that protects a solution from wide variations in pH Main buffer system: carbonic acid/base bicarbonate
40

41
Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc.

42
Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.42 Summary, cont’d Overall water balance is maintained by fluid intake and output Two types of solute particles control the distribution of body water –Electrolytes –Plasma protein The acid-base buffer system uses electrolytes and hydrogen ions to maintain a normal extracellular fluid pH of approximately 7.4
