(139 cards)
electrolytes that maintain osmotic pressure and water distribution in the various body fluid compartment
Sodium, chloride, and potassium
these electrolytes that participate in catalaysis as cofactor for enzymes
Magnesium, calcium, and zinc
these are electrolytes that participate in the regulation of proper function of the heart and other muscles
Potassium magnesium and calcium
These electrolytes maintain the proper pH or acid-base balance
Bicarbonate potassium and chloride
This involved in oxidation reduction reactions
Electrolytes
This electrolyte is important in releasing of hormones and regulation of nerves found more in the ICF
Calcium
Regulate muscle and nerve actions also used in DNA synthesis found more in the ICF
Magnesium
Used as a building block in cell energy, predominant an ion in intracellular than extracellular
Phosphate
Electrolyte that regulates fluid muscle contraction and normal blood pressure
Potassium
It is predominant cation in the ICF
Potassium
This electrolyte maintains as a balance, and it can be found in the ICF and ECF
Bicarbonate
It is the biggest and major buffer of the body
Bicarbonate
Maintains pH, facilitate flows off oxygen and carbon dioxide within the cell
Chloride
Predominant anion in the ECF
Chloride
osmotically active cation in the extracellular fluid
Sodium
Fluid that fills up the blood vessel
Intravascular fluid
Fluid that fills up of the spaces between or around cells
Interstitial fluid
It is found in the lymph cerebrospinal fluid and phlegm
Interstitial fluid
Total composition of intravascular fluid
1/3 or 7%
Total composition of interstitial fluid
2/3 or 26%
Fluid that fill up the spaces of chambers formed from the lining of the epithelial cells
Transcellular fluid
The body fluid located outside the cell of an organism
Extracellular fluid
The body fluid located within the cell of an organism
Intracellular fluid
Total body water composition in extra cellular fluid
26%
