Q

What controls distrubiton water

A
  1. Water can cross most - ease - solutes cant

Water moves until osmolality equal

ECF - easier sample

ECF osmality - controlls distrub TBW ECF/ICF

Osmoal ECF increased - net water movement out
Continue until ICF equals

  1. Na is major cation in ECF
    Must asoc anion opposite equal total charge

Na & oblig anion - 86% osmality & 92% tonicty
Innefctive osmoles not counted

Distib EC & ICF - determ by Na in ECF - indirectly by controls of ECF na

Q

Additional mechanisms @ local level

A

Cells can regulate intracellular solute

  • allows adjust volume against tonicity

Local control - esp important in brain
eg neurones can produces extra osomole when bol decrease d/t extra hypertonicty - draw water back in

Q

How do cells repsond to change in extracell tonicty

A

If acute change - cell vol change padily - equil
hypetnonicty - dehydration
hypo - cell swell

Mannitol - infused - increase ec tonicty & decrease celrebral cell volume

Cells - mechanisms minimse disurtion

alter intracellular solute
gain/ lose solute - change vol minimised
hypetonictiy - gain solute ecf or increase intra cell solute

Brain – meatnbolic alter o intracell particles - idogenic osmoles increase tonicty - draw water
chronic hyuptonicty - tolerated betetr acute

General - cells posses capacity lose gain solute - vary tonicty olume min change

Tonicity

A

effective osmolaity of solitoon

Importance -

Water crosses nearly all cell membranes easily

Most solutes do not cross cell membranes easily

some do - urea
if added - water leak back - - no change across membrane ultimately

Osmolality needs to be corrected for type of solute - most do not cross - and edffective at exerting osmotic force -
some do n ot cross and ineffective at exerting force

Normal skin blood flow 300mls /min

1 metabolism - nutrients /waste removal

2 temperature regulation

Nutritive skin blood flow low - main factor - need heat loss
10x normal under heat stress
Increased sweat & evaporative loss
Increase loss warm skin rad conduction convection

Evap = effective heat loss gram water loss 0.58 kclas
