• Total amount of fluid in the human body is approximately 70% of body weight

• Body fluid has been divided into two compartments – – Intracellular fluid (ICF)

• Inside the cells• 55% of total body water

– Extracellular fluid • Outside the cells• 45% of total body water

Extracellular fluid includes: • Interstitial fluid

» Present between the cells » Approximately 80% of ECF

• Plasma » Present in blood » Approximately 20% of ECF

• Also includes » Lymph » synovial fluid » aqueous humor » cerebrospinal fluid» vitreous body » endolymph » perilymph » pleural, pericardial and peritoneal fluids

• Plasma membrane • Separates ICF from surrounding interstitial fluid

• Blood vessel wall • Separate interstitial fluid from plasma

Barriers separate ICF, interstitial fluid and plasma

Inorganic substances Sodium Potassium Calcium Magnesium Chloride Phophate Sulphate

Composition of body fluids

10

• Most abundant cation - Na+,– muscle contraction – Impulse transmission– fluid and electrolyte balance

• Most abundant anion - Cl- – Regulates osmotic pressure– Forms HCl in gastric acid

• Most abundant cation - K+

– Resting membrane potential– Action potentials – Maintains intracellular volume– Regulation of pH

• Anion are proteins and phosphates (HPO4

2-)

Na+ /K+ pumps play major role in keeping K+ high inside cells and Na+ high outside cell

Difference

11

• In health the volume and composition of various body fluid compartments are maintained within physiological limits even in face of wide variations in intake of water and solutes .

Navier-Stokes equations

16

• The viscosity and elasticity determine the pressure required to produce bioflows.

• Viscosity is an assessment of the rate of energy dissipation

• Elasticity is an assessment of the elastic storage of energy

• How is relations between shear stress and deformation?

Blood is a concentrated suspension of Red Blood Cells; outside the range of dilute suspension

Particles change their shape in response to the fluid forces

The nature of RBC membrane and its deformation stress/strain is much less established

RBC tends to form agregates known as rouleaux

Plasma is the straw-colored liquid in which the blood cells are suspended.

Composition of blood plasma:

Component PercentWater ~92Proteins 6–8Salts 0.8Lipids 0.6Glucose (blood sugar) 0.1

Plasma

26

• Water : 90%• Solids: 10%• organic constituents: proteins, lipids,

carbohydrates , hormones, enzymes,Ketone bodies , and other organic compounds.Inorganic compounds: Na, K Ca,Cl,and CO2.

Plasma

27

Comparison of Newtonian plasma and blood viscosity

28

• Clear and colorless fluid• 96% water and 4% solids• Solids –

– Proteins • 2-6% of solids• albumin, globulin, fibrinogen, prothrombin, clotting factors, antibodies,

enzymes– Lipids

• 5-15% • Chylomicrons• Lipoproteins

– Carbohydrates• Glucose mainly

– NPN• Urea and creatinine

– Electrolytes• Sodium, calcium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonates

Lymph

29

• Return protein from tissue spaces into blood• Redistribution of fluid• Removal of bacteria, toxins and other foreign bodies from

tissues• Maintain structural and functional integrity of tissue• Route for intestinal fat absorption• Transport lymphocytes

Functions of lymph

30

• What is it? It is a fluid that resembles plasma but with a much lower concentration of suspended proteins

• Functions? Transports hormones, nutrients, and waste products

from peripheral tissues to the general circulationReturns fluid and solute from peripheral tissues to the

bloodMaintains blood volume and eliminates local variations

in the composition of the interstitial fluid

Lymphatic fluid

Newtonian fluid: constant viscosity at all shear rates at a constant pressure and temperature. Relationship between shear stress and shear rate is linear.
