Water
Slide 2-

Composition of the Human Body
Slide 3-

Water Makes up about 70% of total body weight. This varies and males and females differ. We need water – can survive for only a few days without it. It is found in: Intracellular fluid Extracellular fluid
Slide 4-

Composition of the Body
Slide 5-

Intracellular and Extracellular Fluid Compartments Where is Water in the Body?
Slide 6-

Functions of Water in the Body Water is a polar molecule Slight sidedness in charge (+ and -) Hydrogen Bonds Important feature
Slide 7-

Functions of Water in the Body THE Liquid in which substances are dissolved Blood Sample after Centrifugation List substances in Plasma: Proteins (albumins), ions, minerals, hormones, vitamins, fatty acids, triglycerides, lipoproteins, glucose, amino acids, O2, CO2, antibodies, enzymes, eicosanoids and metabolic waste products urea and uric acid
Slide 8-

Functions of Water in the Body Transport Nutrients throughout the body Transports O2 and hormones to cells plasma Removes Waste products for Excretion in Urine and Feces Important to Digestion – required for the breakdown (Hydrolysis) of the 3 organic macronutrients that are energy yielding.
Slide 9-

Functions of Water in the Body Maintains Tb (Body Temperature) Especially Regulation of Cooling! Important Lubricant for: Joints Eyes Mouth and Gastrointestinal Tract Lungs Urogenital Tract Tears and saliva are ~ 95% water, but also contain oils, proteins and antimicrobial agents (like lysozymes). Also in human milk and mucus.

What are the 4 Properties of Water? 1) Solvency 2) Cohesion 3) Thermostability 4) Reactivity
Slide 16-

1. Universal Solvent All substances in the body are either dissolved in water or carried by another substances in water
Slide 17-

2. Cohesion The Answer is… H Bonds
Slide 18-

Adhesion and Cohesion
Slide 19-

3. Thermostability Water Helps Regulate Body Temperature Water absorbs and releases heat generated by the body
Slide 20-

Water has a High Heat Capacity: This means it takes a lot of heat energy to change the temperature of water. Water has a High Heat of Vaporization: This means when water goes from a liquid to a gas, it takes a lot of heat energy with it.
Slide 21-

Water participates in chemical reactions 4. Reactivity a) Dehydration b) Hydrolysis Synthesis
Slide 22-

How to Maintained Balance?
Slide 23-

How do we Maintained Water Balance? Fluid Balance is a crucial part of Homeostasis “Constantly changing to stay the same” Water Balance Water Consumed = Water Excreted Our Bodies must Adapt Quickly and Effectively to Changes in Water Intake and Water Losses Key Factors: Water Intake = Diet Water Loss = Kidneys
Slide 24-

Metabolic H2O (~300 ml/day) Water generated during metabolism These sources contribute to an average daily intake of 2,550 ml (about 2 quarts). Sources of Body Water in Diet! Beverages are the largest source of Water. All foods contain some water. Fruits and Vegetables contain the most. Grains contain the least. C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + E
Slide 25-

Sources of Water and Routes of Excretion
Slide 26-

Water Excreted via kidneys, Large Intestine, Lungs, and Skin Majority of fluid is excreted via Kidneys as Urine Urine production depends water intake. (1.5 L) Water is lost through Large Intestine in the stool. Level of Fibers can effect excretion. (100 ml) Diarrhea and vomiting can increase excretion. Insensible Water Loss Evaporated from Lungs via Exhalation (350 ml) From Perspiration of the Skin (600 ml)
Slide 27-

Sweat The degree of Water Loss through Sweat Varies: Environmental factors Temperature Humidity Wind Sun's intensity Clothing worn Amount of physical activity Sweat also Contains: Lactate, lysozyme, urea, minerals (sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, magnesium + trace elements) exogenous organic compounds; pH ranges from 4.5 and 7.0.
Slide 28-

Solute + Solvent = Solution By definition, the solvent is whatever is in abundance. In the human body solvent = Water Everything else in the water are solutes
Slide 29-

= the total number of solutes (particles) in solution (1 liter). Osmolarity is a way to express the concentration of a solution
Slide 30-

Tonicity = ‘Strength’ of a Solution
Slide 31-

Osmosis - the net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from region of high to low water concentration.
Slide 32-

Electrolytes Participate in Fluid Balance Electrolytes maintain Water balance between compartments. Na+ and K+ have the greatest effect on fluid balance. Osmosis Affects the movement of water across cell’s semipermeable membrane Water moves from Low concentration to a High concentration of electrolytes. Osmotic Pressure controls directional of water flow. Movement based on Osmolarity of Solutions. (# of solutes)
Slide 33-

Water moves across cell membranes by osmosis
Slide 34-

Osmosis generates a force called Osmotic Pressure
Slide 35-

Water potential same on both sides The Effect of Water and Osmosis on Animal and Plant Cells
Slide 36-

Water Balanced between Fluid Compartments Body Fluid is Located: In Intracellular Fluid (ICF): Within the cells Largest fluid compartment in the body Contains potassium, proteins, various acids In Extracellular Fluid (ECF): Outside the cells Contains NaCl and NaHCO2 (bicarbonate) 2 Types of Extracellular Fluid (ECF) Interstitial fluids: Bathe the outside of cells Intravascular (plasma) fluids: blood & lymph Water moves between ECF and ICF easily.
Slide 37-

Intracellular and Extracellular Fluid Compartments
Slide 38-

Electrolytes Participate in Fluid Balance Electrolytes Charged (+/-) minerals, conduct electrical current Potassium K+ Phosphate PO43- Magnesium Mg2+ Cations: Positive charge: Anions: Negative charge: Calcium Ca2+ Chloride Cl- Sodium Na+
Slide 39-

Electrolytes Participate in Fluid Balance The Na+/K+ Pump Maintains normal electrolyte concentrations Two Na+ ions are exchanged for three K+ ions. Keeps the cell from swelling and bursting Vital in creating and maintaining the RMP (Resting Membrane Potential) – to assist in electrical conduction in nerve and muscle cells Creates gradients for co- transport of ions and nutrient absorption Plasma Proteins Regulate Fluid Balance
Slide 40-

The Na+-K+ Pump
Slide 41-

Water and all Solutes affect Blood Pressure If the body retains too much fluid, blood volume increases and blood pressure will likely rise. Kidneys regulate blood volume & electrolyte balance. If you have too much, it’s easy –you get rid of excess! If you need to SAVE water: These 4 Hormones Help: Renin (enzyme) - triggers cascade of to save water Angiotensin – triggers thirst, ADH and Aldosterone. Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) = Vasopressin Aldosterone – triggers Na+ retention
Slide 42-

Renin Helps Conserve Water and Salts Blood Pressure falls or Na+ concentration is reduced. Renin is secreted by the kidneys. Enzyme activates angiotensin I from the inert protein angiotensinogen in the blood. In the lungs, angiotensin I is converted to Angiotensin II – this then does the following: Triggers Thirst (in hypothalamus) Stimulates release of Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) Stimulates adrenal glands to release Aldosterone Is a powerful vasoconstrictor
Slide 43-

ADH Helps Stimulate Fluid Intake and Reduce Urine Output Blood Volume Drops: Hypothalamus detects decrease in blood pressure and increase in concentration of salts. Thirst mechanism and fluid intake stimulated. Hypothalamus stimulates Pituitary gland to release ADH. ADH stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb water and decrease urine output. Blood volume increases & osmolarity returns to normal.
Slide 44-

Aldosterone and Sodium Reabsorption Renin-Angiotensin system adapts to Hydration. Too little sodium Osmolarity drops in extracellular fluid (ECF). Fluid shifts from blood to interstitial fluid. Blood volume and blood pressure decrease. Angiotensin II triggers the adrenal glands to release aldosterone. Aldosterone Signals kidneys to retain more Na+ Indirectly leads to water retention
Slide 45-

Blood Volume Regulates Blood Pressure
Slide 46-

How Much Water Do You Need? Water Needs Depend on: Physical Activity Environmental Factors Diet Note: About 80% intake from beverages and 20% from food (small % metabolic). Keep Hydrated! Use your observational skills to determine if you are over or de-hydrated.
Slide 47-

Daily Beverage Recommendations
Slide 48-

Water Sources Drink bottled or tap water, milk, and juices throughout the day. Let’s talks about this… Most foods can also contribute to meeting daily water needs. Fruits and vegetables can be 70% or more water by weight. Dry grain products provide some water. Cooking actually often adds water to food.
Slide 49-

Drugs in Your Drinking Water Prescription Drugs (Prozac, Zoloft, Statins…). Antibiotics (for people and animals). Birth Control (Synthetic Female Sex Hormones). Rocket Fuel – Perchlorate Interrupt thyroid hormones, needed for pre- and postnatal development. Hypothyroidism. Heavy Metals - mercury, arsenic, chromium, cadmium, nickel and lead. These are all toxic to the human body. Chlorine – toxic cell killer! (trihalomethanes + Cl- = carcinogen). Fluoride - toxic to living organisms, leads to fluorosis.
Slide 50-

Diuretics – increase urine output Caffeine: Mild diuretic that constricts blood vessels in the kidneys. Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others. Tolerance to it’s diuretic effects.
Slide 51-

Alcohol Will Dehydrate Inhibits ADH (interfering with water balance) Can induce urination as quickly as 20 minutes after consumption Causes Dehydration Affects electrolyte concentration, especially K+ Cerebral Cortex: Uninhibited or Impaired judgment Hippocampus: Prevents short-term memories from becoming long-term; may experience exaggerated emotions and may black out Cerebellum: Individual loses hand-eye (leg) coordination Brain Stem: Impaired breathing and heart rate Alcohol is also a CNS Depressant
Slide 52-

Diuretic Medications Can Help Treat Hypertension First line of treatment for hypertension Often pharmaceutical diuretics Promote diuresis by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium Increased sodium excretion increases fluid excretion. Reduces blood volume and lowers blood pressure Some diuretics increase potassium loss and the risk of hypokalemia.
Slide 53-

Consuming Too Much Water Can Cause Hyponatremia Water Intoxication Drinking fluid too fast without adequate Na+ replacement depletes Na+ and increases the rate of urine production. Results in Hyponatremia = not enough Na+ Can cause swelling in the brain and death! Symptoms include fatigue, confusion, and disorientation, unconsciousness...
Slide 54-

Consuming Too Little Water Dehydration can be caused by: Inadequate Water Intake Strenuous Exercise in the Heat Losing Excessive amounts of water from: diarrhea, vomiting, high fever, use of diuretics As little as a 2% loss of body water can trigger: Loss of short- and long-term memory Lower attention span and cognition (lethargy) Reduced ability to maintain core temperature Increased risk of fatigue
Slide 55-

Signs of Dehydration
Slide 56-

The Thirst Mechanism
Slide 57-

Thirst often first sign of dehydration. Water lost from the body causes: Reduced Blood Volume Reduced Blood Pressure As a Consequence… if severe enough leads to Hypotension Reduced Cardiac Output Impaired Digestion Fainting or blackout Water depleted from ECF and ICF
Slide 58-

Monitor Water Intake to Avoid Overhydration and Dehydration (cont'd) Evaluate urine color to assess hydration.
Slide 59-

Structure of Three Alcohols
Slide 60-

From Sugar to Alcohol Fermentation of sugars by yeasts make Alcohol The Sugar can be from: Grains (e.g. glucose and maltose) or Fruits (glucose and fructose)
Slide 61-

From Sugar to Alcohol Yeast Metabolizes glucose into: Ethanol + Carbon dioxide C6H12O6 2 C2H35OH + 2 CO2 CO2 bubbles off & alcohol beverage is left. Wine: From grapes Beer: From malted cereal grains (barley) Fermentation stops when alcohol content reaches 11 to 14 %
Slide 62-

Anatomy of a Grain In a typical Grain Bran = 14% Germ = 3% Endosperm (Starch) = 83%
Slide 63-

Anatomy of a Grain
Slide 64-

Wine from fermentation of natural sugars in grapes. Cider is from apples; Perry from pears; Mead from honey. Brandy from distillation of fruit-fermented drinks (involves Evaporation and Concentration of alcohol content) Beer, Whiskey, and Vodka are produced by fermentation of Grain Starches converted to sugar by amylase – naturally present in the kernels of the grain that have malted (i.e., germinated). Potatoes and un-malted grain are also starches amylase will ferment; this can be added to the mixture. Whiskey and Vodka are also distilled. Gin made by adding flavoring during distillation. Sake is rice wine involves fermentation mold Aspergillus oryzae. Rum by fermentation then distillation of sugarcane (molasses).
