Six major minerals`
Sodium, potassium, chloride, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium
If the concentration of solutes is higher______- cells - water flows inside the cell and they can burst
INSIDE
If the concentration of solutes is higher_____ cells - water will flow out of the cell and they can shrivel up
OUTSIDE
Plays critical role in bone formation as a major part of bone mineral complex
phosphorus
painful muscle cramps that develop during sessions of vigorous physical activity in the heat; can last seconds to minutes
heat cramps
heat exhaustion vs heat stroke
-in heat exhaustion there is sweating
-heat stroke the person loses ability to sweat
Do NOT contain calories and they don’t provide energy directly
vitamins and minerals
is iron needed in large amounts
no
trace mineral
Almost two-thirds of all the iron in the body is found in
hemoglobin (Hb),
protein similar to Hb but found in muscle cells - transports oxygen to muscle cells
myoglobin
A TRACE mineral that plays an important role in blood health as it is a component of ceruloplasmin
Cooper
MICROcytic anemia nutrients -
iron, copper, vitamin B6
MACROcytic anemia nhutrients
- folate or vitamin B12
Without adequate _______-, clotting time can be delayed or even fail to occur
vitamin K
Scurvy
-vitamin c xu
-Tissue hemorrhage or bleeding can occur, especially of the gums
Because vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient, we must consume it on a regular basis as any extra is usually excreted rather than stored

compact bone - very dense and is about 80% of the skeleton; the outer surface of all bones is cortical bone plus many small bones (wrist, hands, feet) are made up of entirely cortical bone
cortical bone
spongy bone - 20% of the skeleton and found within the ends of long bones
Trabecular bone (spongy)
Because it is necessary for absorption of calcium, a lack of ________- severely limits the bioavailability of calcium
vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiency in children caused by inadequate mineralization or demineralization of the skeleton
Ricketts
________ deficiency during the first few few weeks can lead to brain and spinal cord defects
folate
Micronutrient Needs During Pregnancy
-foalte
-B12
-Zinc
-Iodine (significant increase need)
-iron
If it is not controlled, it can result in a baby too large (due to too much glucose) and increase risk for early delivery, vaginal trauma during birth or need for cesarean delivery
gestational diabetes
a sudden increase in maternal BP, edema which can lead to excessive and rapid weight gain unrelated to food intake and protein in the urine
preeclampsia
