21.1: Introduction
• The term balance suggests a state of constancy
• 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
3
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
4
Fluid Compartments
•
An average adult female is about 52% water by
weight, and an average male about 63% water
by weight
There are about 40 liters of water (with its
dissolved electrolytes) in the body, distributed
into two major compartments:
• Intracellular fluid – 63% - fluid inside cells
• Extracellular fluid – 37% - fluid outside
cells
• Interstitial fluid
• Blood plasma
• Lymph
• Transcellular fluid – separated from
other extracellular fluids by epithelial
layers
• Cerebrospinal fluid
• Aqueous and vitreous humors
• Synovial fluid
• Serous fluid

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

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

Regulation of Water Intake
The primary regulator of water intake is thirst.
12
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)
13
Regulation of Water Output
The osmoreceptor-ADH mechanism in the hypothalamus
regulates the concentration of urine produced in the kidney.

electrolytes the body gains equals those lost

16
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, and some are by-products of
metabolism
17
Regulation of Electrolyte Intake
• Ordinarily, a person obtains sufficient electrolytes by
responding to hunger and thirst
• A severe electrolyte deficiency may cause salt craving
18
Electrolyte Output
• The body loses some electrolytes by perspiring (more 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
19
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
• Sodium ions account for nearly 90% of the positively charged ions in
extracellular fluids

21.5: Acid-Base Balance
• Acids are electrolytes that ionize in water and release
hydrogen ions
• Bases are substances that combine with hydrogen ions
• 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
• pH number indicates the degree to which a solution is acidic
or basic (alkaline).
• The more acid the solution, the lower its pH
23
• The more alkaline the solution, the higher its pH

Strengths of Acids and Bases
• Acids:
• Strong acids ionize more completely and release more H+
• Ex: HCl
• Weak acids ionize less completely and release fewer H+
• Ex: H2CO3
• Bases:
• Strong bases ionize more completely and release more OHor other negative ions
• Weak bases ionize less completely and release fewer OHor other negative ions
25
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
26
Chemical Buffer Systems
Chemical buffer systems are in all body fluids and are based on chemicals that
combine with excess acids or bases.
•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
27
28
Respiratory Excretion of Carbon Dioxide
Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
• 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

Renal Excretion of Hydrogen Ions

body fluids by excreting hydrogen ions in the urine

21.6: Acid-Base Imbalances
• Chemical and physiological buffer systems ordinarily
maintain the hydrogen ion concentration of body fluids within
very narrow pH ranges

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

acids or an accumulation of
bases accompanied by a decrease
in hydrogen ion concentrations
