Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance".

This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance, essential functions that the body must maintain to stay healthy. These three systems work together to ensure that the bodys internal environment remains stable and functioning optimally.

Fluid balance refers to the regulation of the bodys water content. The body is made up of about 60% water, and maintaining the correct balance of fluids is crucial for many bodily functions, including regulating body temperature, transporting nutrients, and removing waste products. The body regulates fluid balance through the actions of the kidneys, which control the amount of water that is excreted or retained.

Electrolyte balance refers to the regulation of the bodys ions, including sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. These ions are essential for many bodily functions, including nerve and muscle function, fluid balance, and pH regulation. The body maintains electrolyte balance through the actions of the kidneys, as well as through dietary intake.

Acid-base balance refers to the regulation of the pH of the bodys fluids, which must remain within a narrow range for optimal function. The body maintains acid-base balance through the actions of the lungs and kidneys, which regulate the concentration of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate ions in the blood.

Imbalances in any of these systems can have serious consequences for health. For example, dehydration can lead to kidney failure, electrolyte imbalances can cause muscle cramps and other symptoms, and acid-base imbalances can lead to acidosis or alkalosis, which can be life-threatening. Proper hydration, balanced electrolyte intake, and maintaining a healthy diet are all important for maintaining fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance in the body.

Module 24.1: Fluid balance ICF and ECF compartments balance Very different composition Are at osmotic equilibrium Loss of water from ECF is replaced by water in ICF = Fluid shift Occurs in minutes to hours and restores osmotic equilibrium Dehydration Results in long-term transfer that cannot replace ECF water loss Homeostatic mechanisms to increase ECF fluid volume will be employed

Module 24.3: Water and sodium balance Sodium balance (when sodium gains equal losses) Relatively small changes in Na+ are accommodated by changes in ECF volume Homeostatic responses involve two parts ADH control of water loss/retention by kidneys and thirst Fluid exchange between ECF and ICF

CLINICAL MODULE 24.4: Potassium imbalance Potassium balance (K+ gain = loss) Major gain is through digestive tract absorption ~100 mEq (1.9–5.8 g)/day Major loss is excretion by kidneys Primary ECF potassium regulation by kidneys since intake fairly constant Controlled by aldosterone regulating Na+/K+ exchange pumps in DCT and collecting duct of nephron Low ECF pH can cause H+ to be substituted for K+ Potassium is highest in ICF due to Na+/K+ exchange pump ~135 mEq/L in ICF vs. ~5 mEq/L in ECF
Slide 28-

Figure 24.4 1 The major factors involved in potassium balance Factors Controlling Potassium Balance Approximately 100mEq (1.9–5.8 g) ofpotassium ions are absorbed by thedigestive tract eachday. Roughly 98 percent of thepotassiumcontent of thehuman body is inthe ICF, ratherthan the ECF. The K concentration in theECF is relatively low. The rateof K entry from the ICFthrough leak channels isbalanced by the rate of Krecovery by the Na/Kexchange pump. When potassiumbalance exists,the rate of urinaryK excretionmatches the rateof digestive tractabsorption. The potassium ionconcentration in theECF is approximately5 mEq/L. KEY  Absorption  Secretion  Diffusion through leak channels The potassium ionconcentration of theICF is approximately135 mEq/L. Renal K lossesare approximately100 mEq per day

Figure 24.4 3 Events in the kidneys that affect potassium balance Under normal conditions, thealdosterone-sensitive pumpsexchange K in the ECF forNa in the tubular fluid. Thenet result is a rise in plasmasodium levels and increasedK loss in the urine. When the pH falls in the ECFand the concentration of H isrelatively high, the exchangepumps bind H instead of K.This helps to stabilize the pHof the ECF, but at the cost ofrising K levels in the ECF.

Section 2: Acid-Base Balance Learning Outcomes 24.5 Explain the role of buffer systems in maintaining acid-base balance and pH. 24.6 Explain the role of buffer systems in regulating the pH of the intracellular fluid and the extracellular fluid. 24.7 Describe the compensatory mechanisms involved in the maintenance of acid-base balance. 24.8 CLINICAL MODULE Describe respiratory acidosis and respiratory alkalosis.
Slide 35-

Section 2: Acid-Base Balance Acid-base balance (H+ production = loss) Normal plasma pH: 7.35–7.45 H+ gains: many metabolic activities produce acids CO2 (to carbonic acid) from aerobic respiration Lactic acid from glycolysis H+ losses and storage Respiratory system eliminates CO2 H+ excretion from kidneys Buffers temporarily store H+
Slide 36-

Figure 24 Section 2 1 The major factors involved in the maintenanceof acid-base balance Active tissuescontinuously generatecarbon dioxide, which insolution forms carbonicacid. Additional acids,such as lactic acid, areproduced in the course ofnormal metabolicoperations. Tissue cells Buffer Systems Normalplasma pH(7.35–7.45) Buffer systems cantemporarily store Hand thereby provideshort-term pHstability. The respiratory systemplays a key role byeliminatingcarbon dioxide. The kidneys play a majorrole by secretinghydrogen ions into the urine and generatingbuffers that enter thebloodstream. The rate ofexcretion rises and fallsas needed to maintainnormal plasma pH. As a result, the normal pH ofurine varies widely butaverages 6.0—slightlyacidic.

Section 2: Acid-Base Balance Classes of acids Fixed acids Do not leave solution Remain in body fluids until kidney excretion Examples: sulfuric and phosphoric acid Generated during catabolism of amino acids, phospholipids, and nucleic acids Organic acids Part of cellular metabolism Examples: lactic acid and ketones Most metabolized rapidly so no accumulation

Figure 24.5 2 The narrow range of normal pH of the ECF, and the conditions that result from pH shifts outside the normal range The pH of the ECF(extracellular fluid)normally ranges from7.35 to 7.45. pH When the pH of plasma falls below7.5, acidemia exists. Thephysiological state that results iscalled acidosis. When the pH of plasma risesabove 7.45, alkalemia exists.The physiological state thatresults is called alkalosis. Severe acidosis (pH below 7.0) can be deadlybecause (1) central nervous system functiondeteriorates, and the individual may becomecomatose; (2) cardiac contractions grow weak andirregular, and signs and symptoms of heart failuremay develop; and (3) peripheral vasodilationproduces a dramatic drop in blood pressure,potentially producing circulatory collapse. Severe alkalosis is alsodangerous, but serious casesare relatively rare. Extremelyacidic Extremelybasic

Module 24.5: Buffer systems Buffer Substance that opposes changes to pH by removing or adding H+ Generally consists of: Weak acid (HY) Anion released by its dissociation (Y–) HY  H+ + Y– and H+ + Y–  HY
Slide 45-

Figure 24.5 4 The reactions that occur when pH buffer systems function A buffer system in body fluids generallyconsists of a combination of a weak acid (HY) and the anion (Y) released by its dissociation.The anion functions as a weak base. In solution,molecules of the weak acid exist in equilibriumwith its dissociation products. Adding H to thesolution upsets the equilibrium and resultsin the formation ofadditional molecules ofthe weak acid. Removing H from thesolution also upsets theequilibrium and results in the dissociation ofadditional molecules ofHY. This releases H.

This readilyavailable supply of HCO3 is known asthe bicarbonate reserve. Addition of Hfrom metabolicactivity The primary function of the carbonicacid–bicarbonate buffer system is toprotect against the effects of the organicand fixed acids generated throughmetabolic activity. In effect, it takes the H released by these acids and generatescarbonic acid that dissociates into waterand carbon dioxide, which can easily be eliminated at the lungs. Lungs
