Study Notes
Body Fluids and Circulation Self-Assessment
-
Water Requirements: Cells require a constant water supply, comprising approximately 75% of the fluid outside cells.
-
Extracellular Fluid Composition: Extracellular fluid does not include cytosol.
-
Ionic Concentrations: The concentrations and quantity of body fluid ions (e.g., volume, pH, density) are critical to bodily functions.
-
Fluid Balance Regulation: Stability of fluid volumes, solute concentrations, and pH is maintained through interconnected processes like fluid balance, electrolyte balance, and acid-base balance.
-
Water Balance: When water intake equals water output, it is considered a state of water balance
-
Fluid Balance Control: Fluid balance is primarily controlled by electrolyte balance processes. For example, the cell's control of ionic concentrations.
-
Electrolytes: Electrolytes are ions released through inorganic compounds, able to conduct electrical currents in solution.
-
Body Electrolyte Regulation: Daily gains and losses of electrolytes in fluids (ingested food and water vs. urine, sweat, feces) need to be balanced for the body to maintain homeostasis.
-
Acid-Base Balance: Acid-base balance occurs when the production of hydrogen ions is precisely matched by their loss.
-
Fluid Compartments: The body fluids are divided into extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular fluid (ICF).
-
Major Extracellular Ions: The ECF primarily consists of Sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate.
-
Intracellular Components : The ICF has numerous protein molecules.
-
Membrane Permeability: Cell membranes are selectively permeable, regulating the passage of ions and other substances.
-
Body Fluid Movement to Maintain Homeostasis: The continuous movement of water through the ECF and ICF helps maintain communication between fluids and regulates body temperature, accelerating the transport of nutrients, hormones, and dissolved gases.
-
Hormonal Regulation: Several hormones, like antidiuretic hormone (ADH), aldosterone, and the natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) play roles in regulating fluid and electrolyte balance.
-
Buffer Systems: The body uses buffer systems (e.g., bicarbonate, phosphate, protein) to maintain appropriate pH conditions.
-
Blood Functions: Blood transport dissolved gases, nutrients, hormones, and waste; supports and cushions the CNS; regulates temperature; and supports immunity.
-
Blood Components: Blood consists of formed elements (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets) and plasma.
-
Lymphatic System Components: The organs of the lymphatic system are the lymph nodes, thymus, and spleen, among others.
-
Lymphatic Vessels: Lymphatic vessels transport lymph fluid with foreign substances filtered through lymph nodes before returning it to the circulatory system.
-
Interstitial Fluid Pressure and Movement: Movement of interstitial fluid into lymphatic vessels relies on hydrostatic pressure.
-
Body Blockage and Edema: Loss of lymphatic vessels can lead to the buildup of interstitial fluid and a condition known as edema.
-
Immune System Function: Lymphatic system components like lymphocytes play a role in the body's specific immune defenses. The lymphatic system also plays a role in non-specific defenses like inflammation.
