45%
Blood plasma has high concentrations of
Na, Cl, Bicarb, protein
The IF has high concentrations of
Na, Cl, bicarb, lower level of protein
ICF has high levels of
K, phos, mag, and protein
How does H2O move across cell membranes?
Passively, largely through osmosis and facilitated diffusion
H2O movement depends on
The concentration of the environment
Passive movement occurs __ the concentration gradient
down (high -> low)
Channels offer ___ and ___
insulated and larger passageways for molecules to cross
Ligand gating
Channel opens in response to (ligand) binding
Voltage gating
Channel opens in response to change in membrane potential
Posttranslational modification
Channel gates in response to modification (like phosphorylation)
_K:_Na in K:Na pump?
2K:3Na
Isotonic solution
same concentration inside membrane as outside membrane
Hypertonic solution
Higher concentration outside membrane than inside membrane
Hypotonic solution
Solution outside membrane has lower concentration than inside membrane
Capillary wall is made up of
Thin membrane of endothelial cells
How do substances go through capillary walls ?
- Junctions between endothelial cells
- vesicular transport
- Diffusion
- Filtration
The rate of filtration at any point depends of forces called
Starling forces
J[v]
Net fluid flux
K[f]
Filtration coefficient
P[c]
Capillary pressure
P[I]
interstitial pressure
sigma
reflection coefficient
pi[c]
capillary oncotic pressure
pi[I]
interstitial oncotic pressure
Colloids
large molecules that are not freely permeable to the membrane
Colloids are more present in ____ than in interstitium
vascular fluid
Most prominent vascular colloid
albumin
hypoproteinemia
Low levels of vascular colloids
What does hypoproteinemia cause?
edema
