(33 cards)
These are ions capable of carrying an electric charge
ELECTROLYTES
what is the average water content of the human body
40-75%
-decreases dues to ADVANCE AGE AND OBESITY
(1/3) one third of the total body water (16L)
Extracellular fluid
(2/3) two third of the total body water (24L)
Intracellular fluid
Composition of the Normal Plasma
93% water , 7% solute
Retention of 3L of fluid in the tissue will result to?
edema
-it also known as “natrium”
-major extracellular CATION

measurement of light emitted by atoms following by HEAT ENERGY
atomic emission spectrophotometry/ flame photometry
Color of light emitted by Na, K, Lithium
Na= yellow
k= purple
lithium- red
Measurement of the amount tight absorbed by GROUND STATE ATOMS
Atomic absorption spectrophotometry
Measurement of electrical potential (voltage) due to the activity of free ions
Potentiometry
Measurement of the current flow produced by an OXIDATION-REDUCTION REACTION
Amperometry/ polarography
Measurement of the amount electricity in coulombs at a fixed potential
Coulometry
