Chloride Flashcards
the only anion that serves as an enzyme-activator
Cl
these electrolytes almost always exists as one
Na & Cl
It is considered to be the chief counter ion of Na in plasma
Cl
an anion that is excreted in urine and sweat
Cl
It is almost completely absorbed by the intestinal tract
dietary Cl
it maintains plasma osmolality and blood vol in conjunction with Na
Cl
It maintains electroneutrality and an enzyme activator
Cl
give the reference range of Cl in serum/plasma and urine (24hrs)
serum/plasma: 98-107mmol/L
urine (24hrs): 110-250 mmol/d
It is an amylase activator
Chloride
This is freely filtered by the glomerulus
Cl
reabsorbed in the proximal tubules
Cl
It stimulates aldosterone secretion which involves the retain of Cl- and Na+
perspiration
It passively follows Na+
Cl
when there is perspiration this hormone is stimulated because you need retain Na+
Aldosterone
Excessive loss of HCO3-
hypercholeremia
