Study Notes
Body Fluids
- Isotonic Solutions: Solutions with solute concentrations equal inside and outside the cell. Water movement is balanced, no swelling or shrinking of the cell. Examples include 0.9% sodium chloride solution and 5% glucose solution.
- Hypotonic Solutions: Solutions with lower solute concentration outside the cell than inside. Water moves into the cell, causing it to swell. 0.3% sodium chloride solution is an example.
- Hypertonic Solutions: Solutions with higher solute concentration outside the cell than inside, causing water to move out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage (crenation). An example of a hypertonic solution is a 2% sodium chloride solution.
Edema
- Definition: Swelling caused by excessive fluid accumulation in tissues. Can be generalized (throughout the body) or localized.
-
Types:
- Intracellular edema: Fluid buildup inside the cells, caused by poor nutrition, poor metabolism, or tissue inflammation.
-
Extracellular edema: Fluid buildup outside the cells, due to
- Heart failure: Poor pumping action leading to increased venous pressure and capillary pressure, causing fluid leakage.
- Renal disease: Kidneys failing to properly excrete water and electrolytes (like sodium).
- Decreased plasma proteins: Reduced colloidal osmotic pressure leads to increased capillary permeability.
- Lymphatic obstruction: Impaired lymph drainage.
- Increased endothelial permeability: Increased leakage from blood vessels, like in burns and inflammation.
-
Causes of extracellular edema:
- Abnormal leakage of fluid from capillaries into the interstitial space.
- Obstruction of lymphatic vessels, preventing fluid return from the interstitial space to the blood.
Organization of the Cell
- Protoplasm: The combination of all the substances within a cell. Composed primarily of water, electrolytes, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.
- Ions: Important for cellular function, acting in cell membrane control mechanisms, and chemical reactions.
-
Proteins: Two types:
- Structural: Provides cell framework.
- Functional: Enzymes that catalyze specific reactions.
- Lipids: For cell membrane structure.
- Carbohydrates: Relatively minor structural role, primary energy source.
Cell Structures and Function
- Cell membrane: Controls passage of substances into/out of the cell
- Nucleus: Cell control center, contains genetic material.
- Nucleolus: Site of ribosome production within the nucleus.
- Cytoplasm: Fluid portion of the cell, where various cellular processes take place.
- Ribosomes: Involved in protein synthesis.
- Endoplasmic reticulum (ER): Network of membranes, involved in protein and lipid synthesis. Rough ER has ribosomes; smooth ER lacks ribosomes.
- Golgi complex: Modifies and packages proteins. involved in secretion, cellular metabolism, and other various cellular activities
- Lysosomes: Cellular digestion system.
- Peroxisomes: Detoxify harmful substances using oxidation reactions.
- Mitochondria: Cellular powerhouses, site of energy production (ATP).
- Cytosol: Liquid portion of the cytoplasm.
- Centrosome/Centrioles: Organize microtubules during cell division.
- Vacuoles: Stores various substances within cells.
- Microfilaments and microtubules: Support cell shape and movement.
- Cilia and flagella: Cell surface extensions for movement and sensation.
- Secretory vesicles: Store and release substances outside the cell, often generated by the ER-Golgi system.
