Document Summary

Post-midterm ii material: osmoregulation 1: fish osmoregulation, osmoregulation 2: terrestrial water balance, endocrine regulation, neural regulation, plant movement (plants, muscles and movement (animals) Osmoregulation 1: fish osmoregulation (cid:862)wate(cid:396) balance in aquatic animals(cid:863) Interstitial fluids fluids between cells (mostly water, some blood plasma) Inorganic ions (na+, k+, cl-: provide electrical charge across membranes, organic solutes (amino acids, glucose, urea, proteins. Ionic and osmotic properties are important: have properties beyond biological function they serve. Cells regulate volume by altering concentrations of organic solutes (eg. amino acids) rather than ions. Cell sizes change by tonicity, specifically osmoticity: change in tonicity change in cell size cells adjust by changing solute content. Cells compensate by changing internal solute content. If cell gets too small, crowding occurs (organelles and all that) Cell swells too much they burst (but not plant cell, they have cell wall) If a normal cell is (cid:373)o(cid:448)ed to a(cid:374) e(cid:374)(cid:448)i(cid:396)o(cid:374)(cid:373)e(cid:374)t that is .
