21.1: Introduction
• The term balance suggests a state of equilibrium
• For water and electrolytes that means equal amounts enter
and leave the body
• Mechanisms that replace lost water and electrolytes and
excrete excesses maintain this balance
• This results in stability of the body at all times
• Keep in mind water and electrolyte balance are
interdependent
2
21.2: Distribution of Body Fluids
• Body fluids are not uniformly distributed
• They occupy compartments of different volumes that
contain varying compositions
• Water and electrolyte movement between these
compartments is regulated to stabilize their distribution and
the composition of body fluids

Liters
• Of the 40 liters of water in the
body of an average adult, about
two-thirds is intracellular fluid and
one-third is extracellular fluid
• An average adult female is about
52% water by weight, and an
average male about 63% water by
weight

ions

Movement of Fluid
Between Compartments
• Two major factors regulate the movement of water and
electrolytes from one fluid compartment to another
• Hydrostatic pressure

21.3: Water Balance
• Water balance exists when water intake equals water output
• Homeostasis requires control of both water intake and water
output
8
Water Intake
• The volume of water gained each day varies among
individuals averaging about 2,500 milliliters daily for an
adult:
• 60% from drinking
• 30% from moist foods
• 10% as a bi-product of
oxidative metabolism of
nutrients called water of
metabolism

Regulation of Water Intake
10
Water Output
• Water normally enters the body only through the mouth, but
it can be lost by a variety of routes including:
• Urine (60% loss)
• Feces (6% loss)
• Sweat (sensible perspiration) (6% loss)
• Evaporation from the skin (insensible perspiration)
• The lungs during breathing
(Evaporation from the skin and the lungs is a 28% loss)

21.4: Electrolyte Balance

electrolytes the body gains equals those lost

13
Electrolyte Intake
• The electrolytes of greatest importance to cellular functions
release sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride,
sulfate, phosphate, bicarbonate, and hydrogen ions
• These ions are primarily obtained from foods, but some are
from water and other beverages
14
Regulation of Electrolyte Intake
• Ordinarily, a person obtains sufficient electrolytes by
responding to hunger and thirst
• A severe electrolyte deficiency may cause salt craving
15
Electrolyte Output
• The body loses some electrolytes by perspiring typically on
warmer days and during strenuous exercise
• Some are lost in the feces
• The greatest output is as a result of kidney function and urine
output
16
Regulation of Electrolyte Output
• The concentrations of positively charged ions, such as
sodium (Na+), potassium (K+) and calcium (Ca+2) are of
particular importance
• These ions are vital for nerve impulse conduction, muscle
fiber contraction, and maintenance of cell membrane
permeability

21.5: Acid-Base Balance
• Electrolytes that ionize in water and release hydrogen ions
are acids
• Substances that combine with hydrogen ions are bases
• Acid-base balance entails regulation of the hydrogen ion
concentrations of body fluids
• This is important because slight changes in hydrogen ion
concentrations can alter the rates of enzyme-controlled
metabolic reactions, shift the distribution of other ions, or
modify hormone actions

Strengths of Acids and Bases
• Acids:
• Strong acids ionize more completely and release more H+
• Weak acids ionize less completely and release fewer H+
• Bases:
• Strong bases ionize more completely and release more OH• Weak bases ionize less completely and release fewer OH-
20
Regulation of Hydrogen Ion
Concentration
• Either an acid shift or an alkaline (basic) shift in the body
fluids could threaten the internal environment
• Normal metabolic reactions generally produce more acid
than base
• The reactions include cellular metabolism of glucose, fatty
acids, and amino acids
• Maintenance of acid-base balance usually eliminates acids
in one of three ways:
• Acid-base buffer systems
• Respiratory excretion of carbon dioxide
• Renal excretion of hydrogen ions
21
Acid-Base Buffer Systems
• Bicarbonate buffer system
• The bicarbonate ion converts a strong acid to a weak acid
• Carbonic acid converts a strong base to a weak base
H+ + HCO3-  H2CO3  H+ + HCO3• Phosphate buffer system
• The monohydrogen phosphate ion converts a strong acid to a weak acid
• The dihydrogen phosphate ion converts a strong base to a weak base
H+ + HPO4-2  H2PO4-  H+ + HPO4-2
• Protein buffer system
• NH3+ group releases a hydrogen ion in the presence of excess base
• COO- group accepts a hydrogen ion in the presence of excess acid
22
23
Respiratory Secretion of Carbon Dioxide
• The respiratory center in the
brainstem helps regulate
hydrogen ion concentrations in
the body fluids by controlling
the rate and depth of breathing
• If body cells increase their
production of CO2…

Cells increase production of CO2
CO2 reacts with H2O to produce H2CO3
H2CO3 releases H+
Respiratory center is stimulated
Rate and depth of breathing increase
More CO2 is eliminated through lungs
24
Renal Excretion of Hydrogen Ions
• Nephrons help regulate the
hydrogen ion concentration
of body fluids by excreting
hydrogen ions in the urine

Increased metabolism
of amino acids

phosphoric acid

of H+ in body fluids
25
Time Course of Hydrogen Ion Regulation
• Various regulators of
hydrogen ion
concentration operate at
different rates
• Acid-base (chemical)
buffers function rapidly
• Respiratory and renal
(physiological buffers)
mechanisms function
more slowly

21.6: Acid-Base Imbalances
• Chemical and physiological buffer systems ordinarily
maintain the hydrogen ion concentration of body fluids within
very narrow pH ranges
• Abnormal conditions may disturb the acid-base balance

Acidosis
• Acidosis results from the
accumulation of acids or loss of
bases, both of which cause
abnormal increases in the
hydrogen ion concentrations of
body fluids
• Alkalosis results from a loss of
acids or an accumulation of
bases accompanied by a decrease
in hydrogen ion concentrations

or from a gain in bases, both accompanied by a rise in the pH
of blood
