HOMEOSTASIS

Claude Bernard (1878):

animals have 2 environtments- milieu exteriur : physically surrounds the whole

organism

- milieu interieur : surrounds the tissue and cells of the organism•organic liquid

•homeostasis

HOMEOSTASISParameters of the milieu interieur that must be

tightly controlled

– - core temperatures

– - levels of oxygen

– - glucose

– - potassium ions

– - calcium ions

– - hydrogen ions

PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN EXTRACELLULAR FLUID VOLUME

Changes in the osmolality of plasma lead to AVP secretionat a much lower threshold than they lead to thirst

Very small increases in AVP lead to very large changes in urine volume

Thus – the kidney is the first line of defense against cellular dehydration

Ongoing behavior is not disrupted by thirst unless the buffering effects of osmosis and antidiureses are insufficient

Osmotic homeostasis

• Dehydration produces a need for water

• Osmolality (expression of concentration) is the ratio of the amount of solute dissolved in a given weight of water: solute (osmoles)/water (kilograms)

• Body water can decrease as a result of deprivation or sweating, whereas solute can increase as a consequence of salt ingestion

• Either water decrease or solute increase leads to an increase in osmolality

Osmotic homeostasis

Excessive loss of H2O from ECF

1 2 3ECF osmotic pressure rises

Cells lose H2O to ECF by osmosis; cells shrink

Volume homeostasis

Hypovolemia triggers not only thirst, but also salt appetite

Blood volume is corrected only by replacing both water and salt

Drinking water alleviates thirst(by reducing plasma osmolality), but triggers salt appetite, whereas consuming salt triggers subsequent thirst (by increasing plasma osmolality)
