• ICF = 2/3 TBW = 28L
• ECF = 1/3 TBW = 14L

Self-regulating mechanism
1.Equilibrium: IVF & ISF
– Equal amount of substance
– No net transfer of substance or energy
– No barrier to movement
– No energy expenditure to maintain
2.Steady state: ICF & ECF
– Constant amount of substance in
compartments
– Input = output
– Require energy to maintain

TRANSPORT ACROSS CELL MEMBRANE
part 1
Units
• amounts of solute: moles, equivalents, or
osmoles.
• concentrations of solutes: moles per liter
(mol/L), equivalents per liter (Eq/L), or osmoles
per liter (Osm/L) → millimoles per liter
(mmol/L), milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L), or
milliosmoles per liter (mOsm/L)
• 1 mole = 6.022 × 1023 molecules of a
substance. 1 millimole = 1/1000 or 10−3 moles.
• equivalent = the amount of charged (ionized)
solute

Units
• osmole = no. of particles into which a solute
dissociates in solution.
• Osmolarity = the concentration of particles
in solution = osmoles/L.
• If a solute does not dissociate in solution,
osmolarity = molarity.
• If a solute dissociates in solution, osmolarity
= molarity * no. of particles in solution
Electroneutrality of Body
Fluid Compartments
• Principle of
macroscopic
electroneutrality
• Each compartment:
mEq/L of cations =
mEq/L of anions
• Even when potential
difference across the
cell membrane, charge
balance still is
maintained in the bulk
(macroscopic) solutions

Importance of pumps,
transporters & channels
• Physiology processes:
- growth
- metabolic activities

Carrier-mediated transport

Carrier-mediated transport
• 3 characteristics:
1. Saturation:
carrier proteins
have a limited
number of
binding sites for
the solute
18
9
8/30/2023
Carrier-mediated transport
• 3 characteristics:
1. Saturation
2. Stereospecificity: binding sites for solute on the
transport proteins are stereospecific.
Ex: the transporter for glucose in the renal proximal
tubule recognizes and transports the natural isomer
D-glucose, but it does not recognize or transport the
unnatural isomer L-glucose
19
Carrier-mediated transport
• 3 characteristics:
1. Saturation
2. Stereospecificity
3. Competition: may recognize, bind, and even
transport chemically related solutes
Ex: the transporter for glucose is specific for D-
glucose, but it also recognizes and transports a
closely related sugar, D-galactose → the presence of
D-galactose inhibits the transport of D-glucose by
occupying the sites

Tonicity
• 2 solutions separated by a semipermeable
membrane have the same effective osmotic
pressure → isotonic
• 2 solutions have different effective osmotic
pressures, the solution with the lower effective
osmotic pressure is hypotonic and the solution
with the higher effective osmotic pressure is
hypertonic. Water will flow from the hypotonic
solution into the hypertonic solution.
