Fluids and Electrolytes
- 1.
- 2. Water 3/30/2020 2 Is simpleinorganic compound H2O 50 to 60 % of Adult body weight Fluid Balance = Required amount of water is present and proportioned normally among the various compartments in body. Total body water is mainly determined by total amount of salt in body Salt & Water Concentration is controlled by Kidney.
- 3. Distribution of Fluid inThe Body Intracellular Fluid 66% in Cells Extracellular Fluid 34% In Blood & Intestinal Fluid 3/30/2020 3
- 4. Extracellular Fluid (ECF) Intravascular (Presentin Blood As a Plasma) Extra vascular •Interstitial Fluid (Between the Cell) •Lymph •Brain, Aqueous humor of Eye •Pericardium & Pleural Cavities 3/30/2020 4
- 5. Fluid 3/30/2020 5 Plasma Membraneseparate ICF & ECF Blood Vessel Wall separate Blood Plasma & Interstitial Fluid (between the cells) The major component of Fluid include Water & Solute Solute = Mostly Electrolytes –in organic Ions Cations – Positive Charged Atoms e.g. Na, K, Ca, Mg, Co3 Anions –Negative Charged Atoms e.g. Chloride, Sulphide, Phosphate & Bicarbonate
- 6. Movement of BodyFluid 3/30/2020 6 Fluids & Electrolytes constantly move from one compartment to another for Metabolism Tissue oxygen Acid-base Balance Movement of Fluids & Solutes By 4 Way 1 Osmosis 2 Diffusion 3 Filtration 4 Active Transport.
- 7. Osmosis Definition: Osmosis is processby which the Solvent- Water movesacross aSemi permeable Membrane from an area of lesser Solute Concentration to an Higher Solute Concentration. Thus the concentration of both the side become Equal. 3/30/2020 7
- 8. Rate of Osmosisdepend on 3/30/2020 8 Concentration of Solutes Temperature Electrical Charges of Solutes Osmotic Pressures of Solution.
- 9. Diffusion Definition: Diffusion refers tomovement of a solute in a Solution across Semi permeable membrane from higher concentration to Lower concentration 3/30/2020 9
- 10. Filtration Definition: Filtration is theprocess by which Water & Substances that move across Semi permeable membrane from an area of higher Pressure to Lower Pressure 3/30/2020 10
- 11. Active Transport Active Transportrequire energy to move Substances across Semi permeable membrane. By this process move molecules from Lower Concentration to Higher Concentration. Na -> Pump Out from cell K -> Pump in to cell 3/30/2020 11
- 12. Functions of Water Essentialfor cell & Body environment Serve as a Transport media of Nutrient & Excretory Product Act as media of Biochemical reaction Act as a Solvent It play a vital role in Maintenance of body Temperature Work as Protector e.g. Amniotic Fluid Help in Swallowing e.g. Saliva Help in Maintaining Texture of Tissue Help in Maintenance of Acid-base & Electrolyte Balance Good source of minerals 12
- 13. Water Requirement 3/30/2020 13 Thebody has no Water storage Facility so we maintain its requirement every 24 hrs. Factors Affecting on Water Requirement Surrounding Temperature High Temp.

- 19. Regulation of FluidLoss body Fluid •Increase Body tonicity A drop in •Decrease Blood Volume Release of Renin in Kidney •Stimulate osmoreceptors of Hypothalamus Release ADH from Pituitary Gland •ADH Targets Kidney Gland Reducing Fluid Loss •Arterioles constrict 3/30/2020 19
- 20. Regulation of FluidLoss 3/30/2020 20 Aldosterone : Increase retention of Na & Cl ions as well as Water by the Kidney Increase body Fluid & Blood Pressure Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP): Increase in body Fluid results in increases Blood Volume => -Which Stimulates the release of ANP Hormone - That increases the loss of Fluid in Urine - At the same time the level of ADH & Renin Decreases
- 21. Other Factors that RegulateFluid Loss Severe Dehydration Decrease Blood Pressure & Glomerular Filtration Rate Decreases Loss of Water in Urine 3/30/2020 21
- 22. Other Factors 3/30/2020 22 thatRegulate Fluid Loss Water overload will increase Blood Pressure & Glomerular Filtration Rate => Which increase Loss of Water in Urine. Hyperventilation increase Fluid Loss Via Vapour in lungs Vomiting & Diarrhea Increase Fluid Loss via GIT. Fever, Heavy Perspiration & Skin Loss (burns) increase Fluid Loss via skin.
