Document Summary

Unit 4c: integrated control of fluid and electrolyte. Balance: 3 variables for homeostasis of fluid and electrolyte balance. 2 places for water gain: metabolism, food/drinks: kidney water conservation. Kidney cant restore lost water but can conserve: 2 main roles of kidney in water balance. A. produce dilute urine: reabsorbs solute without water following. B. to concentrate urine: reabsorbs water leaving solute in tubule: 2 ways water cross cell membranes, leaks through lipid bilayer, travels through water channels (aquaporins, 2 people who won nobel prize awards. Roderick mackinnon: mechanisms of water channels: 2 ways water and solute are separated and how. A. produce dilute urine: epithelial cells transport solutes but are impermeable to water. Hormone-induced changes in expression of aquaporins on apical surface: 2 hormones that regulate h20 permeability. Adh: antidiuretic hormone prevents diuresis- conserves water, makes less urine. Avp: arginine vasopressin- vasoconstrictive effect: effect of avp on collecting duct. Abundance of avp: urine concentrated because duct freely permeable to water.
