O, GFR AND DISTRIBUTION OF GFR IN THE KIDNEY?
How much water does our body contain (Total Body Water)?
Infant: 65-75% Young Adult: 55-60% Obese and Elderly: 40-50%
Your Total Body Water Content: 70 kg X 55% = about 40L
Where is this 40L of water distributed in your body?
Intracellular: 65%
(40L X 0.65)= 26L
Extracellular: 35%
(40L X 0.35)= 14L
25% Interstitial Water (between cells) (40L X 0.25)= 10L
8%Water in blood and Lymph (40L X 0.08)= 3.2L
2%Trancellular water (endoplymph, joints, cerebral spinal
fluid, pericardial and pleural fluids) (40L X 0.02)= 0.8L
TQ: please memorize these numbers! VIP Clinical applications!
What are the Sources of the 2.5 L/day water you normally receive?
Preformed (2.3 L/day) vs. Metabolic water (0.2 L/day)
Drinks and Food Aerobic Respiration

Water Loss Routes are varied:
Urine (1.5 L/day), Transpiration (0.4L/day), Sweat (0.1 L/day,
Breathing (0.3 L/day), Feces (0.3 L/day or 10L/day diarrhea?),
Vomiting (0-10 L/day??)
•
Insensible Water Loss: Not obvious or conscious loss
•
Obligatory Water Loss: Totally unavoidable loss
How can water loss (dehydration) become very severe very fast?
•
Consider Diarrhea or Vomiting (Water
AND IONS
can be lost!)
•
Consider Sweating on a hot dry day (up to 5 L/day or more lost!)
•
Consider Breathing rate and water loss when you are on top of
Pike’s Peak CO (up to a 1.5 L/day)
The water volume is certainly NOT static, it changes constantly!
•
What happens if you do not adapt to the water loss?
•
What happens to kidney function under extreme conditions?
•
Why is maintenance of WATER HOMEOSTASIS so critical?
Water Homeostasis is one of the most important types of balance we
must maintain. Each Day: 2,500 ml IN/ 2,500 ml OUT
HOW IS THIS BALANCE ACCOMPLISHED?
A Rough Approximation for
Water Needs in Athletes:
If you are counting
calories in a person, you
use up about 1 gram of
water for every calorie you
burn.
The digestive system consists of several organs that break
up food, swallow, enzymatically digest nutrients in chyme,
propel these materials from the mouth to the anus, and
absorb nutrients into the blood.
Overview:
Digestion starts with food ingestion, gustation, and
mastication in the oral (buccal) cavity.
•
It all starts with taste!
•
4 types of tongue taste bud: front-back/Left-right
•
Unami is the fifth “taste”
•
Sweet-energy
•
Salt-sodium
•
Sour-acidic
•
Bitter-alkaline/poison
•
Palatability and ingestion:
•
Flavor-Aroma-Texture
•
As we age we become less able to taste and smell!
Importance for hypertension and anorexia in elderly?
Mastication: We use teeth, tongue, lips and cheeks to
begin the mechanical aspects of the digestive process.
•
Mechanical function of
tongue lingual muscles,
lips and cheeks:
•
The Parts of a Tooth:
•
Enamel
•
Dentin
•
Pulp Cavity
•
Root Canal
•
Alveolar Bone
•
Occlusion:
•
Occlusal Surface:
•
Cusps:
We will normally have 20 deciduous ‘milk’ teeth.
After the age of 6, these are replaced by 32 (4X8)permanent
teeth that provide for us in adulthood.
Adults: 32 Permanent Teeth
Each Quadrant has 8 teeth:
•
2 incisors-cut
•
1 canine-hold
•
2 premolars-sheer
•
2 molars-grind
•
1 ‘Wisdom’ tooth
The last to erupt!
•
Bones: Maxilla or Mandible
•
4X Quadrants= 32 teeth
Infants: 20 Deciduous Teeth
•
As the permanent teeth
erupt, they push the
deciduous teeth out of their
sockets! “Teething”
How does a lack of oral health hamper good nutrition and
digestion? Dentition determines if you eat, grind, digest, talk, and
even sleep efficiently! Who is susceptible to problems? Why?
•
Plaque:
–
Calculus or Tartar
–
Flossing and brushing
•
Caries:
–
Digestive enzymes and acids
–
Grinding Out and Fillings as a solution
•
Root Canal Therapy:
–
Pulp replacement
–
Infection removed
•
Gingivitis can lead to Peridontal Disease?
•
How is tooth loss related to our diet in the USA, Third World,
and in Prehistoric Peoples?
We produce saliva (1.5 L/day) for 3 reasons:
1) Lubrication/moisture of food during mastication
2) Mix enzymes for digesting bacteria, starch and lipids
3) Addition of NaCO
3
-
for control of acidity/tooth decay
•
Parotid
(20%): Serous
•
Sublingual
(5%): Mucous
•
Submandibular
(70%): Mixed
•
Minor glands (5%)
•
Saliva Contents:
•
Water: Main Content!
•
Electrolytes:K+, Cl-, NaCO
3
-
Proteins: Mucin and IgA
•
Enzymes
active only at pH 7:
Lingual amylase
Lysozyme
•
Lingual Lipase
active in stomach
•
Bites often bring infection! WHY?
Deglutination
: the tongue presses a food bolus against the palate,
through the fauces, into the pharynx, past the epiglottis and into
the esophagus. Then peristaltic waves of smooth muscle squeeze
it into the stomach as the cardiac sphincter relaxes.
•
Activity coordinated by swallowing center of medulla:22
muscles
•
Three Stages to Swallowing:
•
1) Buccal > 2) Pharyngeal > 3) Esophageal
Entry into esophagus (skeletal then smooth muscle) creates a
peristaltic wave in the muscularis externa that generates
propulsion by shortening and narrowing the tube right-behind the
bolus!
Enteric Nervous System allows for conduction of depolarization
along smooth muscle cells resulting in a wave of contraction!
Finally: Lower esophageal sphincter must relax (dilate) before bolus
can pass through the cardiac orifice into the stomach!
Gastro Esophogeal Reflux Disease (GERD)is a huge
problem for many people!
Have you seen adds for the “
Purple Pill called Prilosec
”?
Stomach: Provides for Mixing, Acidification and Sterilization
There are several important anatomical structures on the
stomach that you should be aware of.
•
Why are these clinically significant?
•
Location inferior to the diaphragm and left lung
•
Esophageal sphincter and diaphragm
•
Pyloric sphincter
•
Pyloric Canal
•
Fundic, Cardiac and Pyloric Regions and the “Body”
•
Greater and Lesser Curvatures
•
Converting ingested material into Chyme:
•
Gas and the cause of indigestion:
The layers of the stomach are all responsible for specific
functions,,,what are these layers?
•
Serosa:
(formerly called adventitial layer on esophagus)
•
Muscularis Externa
: three smooth muscle layers
–
Longitudinal
–
Circular
–
Oblique
–
Provide mixing across three different orientations
Submucosa:
Contains blood vessels and nerves
Mucularis mucosa
: tiny muscle layer under mucosa
Mucosa
: Contains arterioles, venules, capillaries, lymphatics,
gastric pits/ducts, stomach does huge amount of work here! (
ATP
production required!)
Epithelial layer
protection!

How do we bring information, oxygen, nutrients, and blood
into or out of the stomach?
Blood:
Enters via gastric branch of celiac trunk artery
•
Exits via hepatic portal vein for cleaning of blood toxins in liver
Information:
•
Enters via two nerves:
–
Vagus Nerve: parasympathtic info to stomach
–
Vagus Nerve also carries sensory info from stomach to brain
–
Sympathetic fibers of celiac ganglion
Hormones:
Gastrin: output hormone to blood
CCK, GIP and Secretin: Input hormones from blood
Lymphatics
are also very important for fluid drainage/inflammation!
What digestive materials are secreted by the stomach and
how do we protect ourselves against them?
•
Stomach makes acids, pepsin and huge amounts of mucus
•
Importance of mucus: PROTECTION OF EPITHELIUM!
•
Importance of stomach acid:
Antibacterial
Digestion
Nutrient availability
•
Problem with stomach acids:
Potential self digestion: stomach, esophagus, duodemum
Potential enzyme de-activation due to pH
•
Importance of Pepsin:
Break up proteins and Deactivate potential hazards
Potential to autodigest your own body
Solution: activation only in acidic pH
What happens to pepsin activity if “Tums” are taken?
Small Intestine: Three sections
•
Duodenum
-First 5% Section (12 fingers-12
inches) from pyloric sphincter PAST sphincter
of oddi: Goal-neutralize stomach acid
•
Jejunum
-”empty” Second 35% Section: Goal-
enzymatic degradation and nutrient absorption
•
Ileum
- Third 60% Section: goal nutrient
absorption before passage into cecum
•
Ileocecal Valve-
passage into Large Intestine
•
Key Intestinal Items from Outside->Inside
Serosa-Longitudinal SCM-Circular SMC-Submucosa-Mucosa-Villi
and Lacteals-Columnar epithelial tissue-Microvilli-BrushBorder
