Excretion to external environment (through kidneys, lungs, gills, digestive tract, or body surface, e.g., sweat, tears, sloughed skin) Input from external environment (through ingestion, inhalation, absorption through body surface, or artificial injection) Storage depots within body (no function other than storage) Metabolically produced by body Metabolically consumed in body (irretrievably altered) Inputs to internal pool Outputs from internal pool (Inside body) Internal pool (extracellular fluid concentration) of a substance Reversible incorporation into more complex molecular structures (fulfills a specific function) Fig. 13-1, p.573
Difference between ECF and ICF • Cellular proteins • Cellular organic osmolytes • Unequal distribution of Na+ and K+
Osmotic and volume balance Osmotic problems threaten cells and animals • Evaporation of body water into air (eg. sweating or breathing) • Osmosis into or out of environment (eg. fresh water or saline water) • Freezing (locks up water in ice crystals and concentrates ions in unfrozen water) • Excretion (require water for waste removal) • Diseases (eg. Diabetes)
Medium <5 mOsm Absorbs water through gills and skin Body fluids ca. 300 mOsm Obtains salts through “chloride” cells in gills and with food Removes much water and some salt via dilute urine Salts lost via feces Fig. 13-11, p.586
Adaptation of Freshwater Animals • Active transport of ions • Hypotonic urine • Lower internal osmolarities • Low permeability of integument
Terrestrial animals Dietary H2O NaCI H2O retention H2O lost via respiration NaCI retention H2O NaCI lost via excretion Fig. 13-12, p.587
ECF Hypertonicity • Insufficient water intake (eg. Drought, desert) • Excessive water loss (heavy sweating, panting, vomiting, diarrhea, diabetes, breath in dry air, exposed to salt water) • Drinking hypertonic saline water • Alcohol inhibits vasopressin secretion
ECF Hypotonicity 1. Intake of relatively more water than solutes 2. Retention of excess water without solute
