LECTURE 1: Body Fluid compartment and determination. ECF and ICF Flashcards
LOCALISATION OF INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT
(ECF OR INTERSTITIUM)

IONIC COMPOSITION OF ECF

MILIEU EXTERIEUR/ INTERIOR
CLAUDE BERNARD
MILIEU EXTERIEUR: PHYSICALLY SURRROUNDS WHOLE ORGANISM
MILIEU INTERIEUR: IN WHICH TISSUES AND CELLS LIVE
'’THE CONSTANCY OF THE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT IS THE CONDITION FOR A FREE AND INDEPENDENT LIFE’’
DEFINITION OF PHYSIOLOGY

GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF ECF K+ REGULATION
- PARAMETER: 3.5-5mM; set point is genetically encoded
- monitor deviations from set point glomerosa cells of adrenal gland
- elevate ECF K+ ion concentration: aldosterone production
- aldosterone acts on particular kidney cells, K+ ion excretion from body will increase
- DECREASES ECF K+ ion concentration
***NEGATIVE FEEDBACK CONROL***
PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS TO BE REULATED?

PHYSIOLOGICAL CONTROL MECHANISMS?

PHOSPHOLIPID MOLECULE AND PHOSPHOLIPID BILAYER

OUTER LOCALISED LIPIDS AND THEIR FUNCTION
PHOSPHOLIPIDS:
PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE (LIPID RAFT)
SPHINGOMYELIN (LIPID RAFT)
CHOLESTEROL= INNER/OUTER (MEMBRANE FLUIDITY AND LIPD RAFT)
GLYCOLIPIDS:
GPI (GLYCOSYLPHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOL)= PROTEIN ANCHOR
INNER LOCALISED LIPIDS AND THEIR FUNCTION?
PHOSPHOLIPIDS:
P. SERINE
P. ETHANOLAMINE
P. INOSITOL
CHOLESTEROL= INNER/OUTER=MEMRANE FLUIDITY AND LIPID RAFT
LIPID: LOCALISATION AND FUNCTION?

MEMBRANE STRUCTURE?
CFTR
CYSTIC FIBROSIS= AUTOSOMALRECESSIVE DISORDER
-CHRONIC LUNG INFECTIONS, PANCREATIC INSUFICIENCY, INFERTILITY IN MALES
MUTATION OF GENE ON CHROMOSOME 7 (CODING FOR ABC TRANSPORTER)
MOST COMMONLY DELETION OF A PHE AT POSITION 508
CFTR= CL-CHANNEL, REGULATES other membrane transporters (ENAC)
ENAC=defective in patients with CF

urea
Hypotonic—>lysis and swelling
ineffective osmole= cannot pass through PM
Functions of PM proteins:
selective transport of molecules
cell recognition via surface antigens
cell communication (PM receptors)
tissue organisation through adhesion molecules
enzymatic activity
determination of cell shape (linking cytoskeleton)
volumes of body fluid compartments

Ionic composition of ECF and ICF?

transcellular Fluid
CSF
ocular fluid
synovial fluid
pleural cavity
peritoneal cavity
measurements of volume in fluid compartments?

fluid compartments of prototypic adult human weighing 70kg

parameters and regulation
increase aldosterone
decrease: negative FB control
