Physiology II

 

-protein in extracellular fluid is albumin

-plasma in extracellular fluid

-lymphatic would draw out protein from interstitial spaces

-should not be dumping protein from capillaries into interstitial

-reflection--basement membrane has a negative charge and repulses the protein which has a positive charge

-reflection coefficient

     -don't pass=1

     -passes somewhat=.5

     -all pass through=0

-some tissues have a higher reflection coefficient than others

     ex:  brain--blood brain barrier; liver high exchange

 

-transcellular fluids--pleural, ocular, CSF (look in index)

     synovial fluid

-controlled by lymphatic drainage or a specific drainage system

     1. pleural fluid--lubrication and adherence--drainage by negative pressure in the lungs--adhesions (like two pieces of glass stuck together when they are wet

          -neumothorax--air or extra fluid in this thin pass of the lungs

          -pleurasis--inflammation in lung walls--inflamed tissue rubbing on each other

-pleural space can become filled due to congestive heart failure, infections, loss of tissue osmolarity,  etc.

          -minor fluid, but major factor when impeded

     2.  CSF

          -circulates, surround the brain, cushioning of brain, enclosed circuit

          -when disrupted

          -contra-coue--hit in front of head and the brain hits the back--occipital lobe is in back and disrupts vision

          -300-500ml/day produced, vault can hold 125ml

          -drain off required, but a closed environment

          -Arachnoid villi (granulations) areas that are more permeable and allow drain off--obstructed and accumulate CSF--communicative hydrocephaly (excessive fluid in CNS)

          -alters in CSF amount of fluid is extremely painful

          -no pain receptors in brain tissue, but the meninges are highly innervated this is what is painful

          -synthesized in Chroid plexus

          -granulations in center of brain--active transport process of Na+, Cl- and H2O

-drain into 3rd ventricle into aqueduct to of Sylvius, foramen of Luschka

          -fluid can't circulate

          -non-communicative hydrocephaly--being synthesized and can't move, pressure accumulates

     3.  ocular fluid

          -aqueous humor--ciliary bodies, drains off

          -vitreous humor--maintains structure of eye--gelatinous substance

          -glaucoma--aqueous humor increased, increasing the optic nerve

          -synthesized, space for 1.5ml, produce more

          -basically salt water

          -canal of Schlem--drainage of aqueous humor--obstruction of this canal

          -control-go in and open canal or use drops to impede production of aqueous humor

         

 

Control of Body Fluid Status

-urinary system

-body fluid volume controlled

-lymphatics drain back into the blood volume

-Starling--kidney was like it has a brain of its own, regulates on a very narrow window

-3 concepts

     1.  filtration--what controls filtration through glomeruli--capillary pressure

     2.  absorption--tubular structure of the kidney, very specific, different areas select for different molecules

     3.  secretion

-anatomical properties

     -2 kidneys

     -renal artery brings in blood

     -ureter--carries away waste

     -bladder

     -urethra

Kidney

     -processes 180L/day (8.5-9L of blood)

     -blood filtered 20x a day (about once a day)

     -kidneys fail, everything backup

     -excrete 1.5L/day (about 1%)

     -reabsorb 99%

     -cortex--outer layer, encapsulated

     -medulla

          -pyramids--defined tissue spaces

          -nephron--fxnal unit--1 million

          -if one pyramid is screwed up, still have the rest to fxn

          -can't survive w/ no kidneys

          -fluid and ionic balance

     -renal pelvis--minor calyx and major calyx

     -collecting ducts

     -ureters

     -kidney stone--insoluble substances--calcium oxylate

     -nephron

          -glomerulus is controlling factor

          -filter plasma into tubule

          Arcuate artery, interlobular artery, arcuate vein, interlobular vein

          -glomerulus sits on top of distal tubule

          -Bowman's capsule collects what comes out of glomerulus

          -selective permeability--

              -proximal tubule--convoluted surface--absorption, 60% reabsorbed of what is filtered across collecting duct

              -a lot of mitochondria--active transport

-thin, puny tissue, few mitochondria, descending loop, permeable to water--passive osmosis--ascending loop

-ascending loop--few mitochondria, Na+ permeable only

-mitochondria to create gradient for passive diffusion (active transport)

-distal tubule--convoluted surface, mitochondria, active transport (only movement) secretion of K+ and H+, reabsorb Na+

-collecting duct--some mitochondria, principle cells K+, intercolated cell H+ (pH), permeable to water b/c Adh

              -ascending loop controls the reabsorption of water

              -Adh present w/no osmotic gradient, no reabsorption

              -Adh lets you absorb water

              -diurease--getting rid of fluid, affect ascending loop
