Regulation of Body fluid and pH balance in the urinary system Flashcards
What percent of ECF is plasma
20%
What percent of ECF is interstitial fluid
80%
Which ion determines ICF osmotic pressure
Potassium (K)
Which ion determines ECF osmotic pressure
Sodium (Na)
What is total body osmolality
(Total sodium and total potassium)/total body water
Where is Sodium
ECF
Where is Potassium
ICF
What is tonicity in the body primarily controlled by
Vasopressin (ADH) and Thirst
Normal range of plasma osmolality
280-295
Osmolality in extracellular fluid is detected where
In hypothalamus by osmoreceptors
If osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus sense hypertonic fluid, what do they do?
Increase ADH release
If osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus sense hypotonic fluid, what do they do?
Decrease ADH release
Low blood volume is detected by what
baroreceptors
Are osmoreceptors or baroreceptors more sensitive
osmoreceptors
Which stimuli (chemical or volume) is stronger
Volume stimuli can override osmoreceptor input. High blood volume inhibits ADH release.
