Osmoregulation Chapter 44
Osmoregulation • Balance of water & solute concentration • Intracellular & extracellular • Ions (solutes) • Na+1, Cl-1
Osmolarity • Hyperosmotic • Hypoosmotic • Isoosmotic • Normal saline (0.9%) • 5% dextrose
Selectively permeablemembrane Solutes Water Hypoosmotic side: • Lower solute concentration• Higher free H2O concentration Hyperosmotic side: • Higher solute concentration• Lower free H2O concentration Net water flow
Osmoregulation • Osmocomfomers • Body fluids have same concentration as environment • Ocean invertebrates • Osmoregulators • Constant blood osmolarity • Vertebrates
50 µm (a) Hydrated tardigrade (b) Dehydrated tardigrade
Nitrogenous wastes • Proteins, DNA & RNA contain nitrogen • Break downs-waste (NH2) • Aquatic animals • NH3 • Mammals, amphibians • Urea • Birds, reptiles, insects • Uric acid
Urea • Uric acid
Most aquatic animals, including most bony fishes Many reptiles (including birds), insects, land snails Mammals, most amphibians, sharks, some bony fishes Nitrogen wastes Ammonia Urea Uric acid
Excretory process • Excretory systems • Regulate solute concentrations • Produce urine • Refine filtrate from body fluids
Excretory process • Filtration • Blood (body fluids) is filtered • Forms filtrate (urine) • Reabsorption • Ions & nutrients are recovered • Returned to body from filtrate
Excretory process • Secretion • Wastes/water from capillaries to filtrate (urine) • Excretion • Release filtrate (urine) from body • Release nitrogenous metabolites

Anatomy • Kidney • Ureter • Bladder • Urethra • Renal artery/vein • Blood supply of kidney
Anatomy • Renal cortex • Outside of kidney • Renal medulla • Inside of kidney (hypertonic) • Renal pelvis • Funnel shaped • Ureter meets kidney
Anatomy • Nephron: • Functioning unit of kidney • 1 million in each kidney • Glomerulus • Bowman’s capsule • Proximal (convoluted) tubule • Loop of henle • Distal (convoluted) tubule
Pathway through kidney • Blood forced into glomerulus • Bed of capillaries • Blood cells & proteins are too large • Plasma goes through with minerals & water • Filtrate • Enters Bowman’s capsule • Proximal tubule • Located in renal cortex
Pathway through kidney • Enters loop of Henle • In the loop goes deep in the renal medulla • Fluid returns • Distal tubule • Drains into collecting duct • Goes into renal pelvis (urine) • Ureter
Juxtamedullary nephron Cortical nephron Nephron Renal cortex Collecting duct Renal medulla To renal pelvis (c) Nephron types
Pathway through kidney • Capillaries surround the loop • Reabsorb water & ions

Pathway through kidney • 1000-2000L of blood flow through a day • 180 L of water a day • Urinate only 1.5 L per day • Reabsorb glucose, aa, vitamins & water • Excrete wastes, harmful substances, H+ & water • Maintain homeostasis (blood volume, pH electrolytes & BP)
Closer look • Proximal tubule • Most nutrients reabsorbed to blood • NaCl, H2O, HCO3-1 reabsorbed to blood • NH3, H+1 secreted into the tubule from blood
Closer look • Loop of Henle • Descending loop water is reabsorbed • Ascending loop NaCl is reabsorbed • Longer loop-more NaCl is absorbed
Closer look • Distal tubule • Regulation of K+1 & NaCl here • Depends on body’s needs • K+ is secreted into tubule • NaCl reabsorbed into tubule
Closer look • Collecting duct • NaCl can be reabsorbed here • Some urea diffuses out of tube • Remaining filtrate passes as urine

Regulation of kidney • ADH (antidiurectic hormone) • Vasopressin • Released by posterior pituitary gland • Released in response to increased solute concentration in plasma • Dehydrated or eating salty foods • Distal tubule/collecting duct become more permeable to water • Decreases the amount of water in urine • Reabsorbs more water
Osmoreceptors in hypothalamus trigger release of ADH. Thirst Hypothalamus Drinking reduces blood osmolarity to set point. ADH ADH Pituitary gland Increased permeability Distal tubule H2O reab- sorption helps prevent further osmolarity increase.

Regulation of kidney • Low blood volume • Juxtaglomerular apparatus • Tissue located near artery supplies blood to glomerulus • Secretes renin (enzyme) • Angiotensinogen to angiotensin I • Angiotensin I to angiotension II • Causes blood vessels to constrict • Causes release of aldosterone
Regulation of kidney • Aldosterone • Released by the adrenal cortex • Due to low sodium levels • Due to low blood volume • Stimulates distal tubules/collecting ducts to reabsorb sodium • Chlorine & water follow • Stimulates potassium to be excreted
Regulation of kidney • Aldosterone • Increases serum sodium levels • Increases water (blood volume) • Decreases serum potassium levels • ACE inhibitor • Blood pressure medication • Blocks the affects of aldosterone
