Electrolytes General Information Flashcards
capable of carrying electrical charges (-) (+)
Electrolytes
Electrolytes are dissolved in
water
Responsible for regulating the normal morphology of the body through various metabolic activities
Electrolytes
Electrons that carry NEGATIVE CHARGE and are attracted to ANODE
Anions
Anode attracts ______ because it contains ____
(-) ion ; POSITIVE CHARGE
examples of anionic electrolytes
CBP
Chloride
Bicarbonate
Phosphate
Electrons that carry POSITIVE CHARGE and are attracted to CATHODE
Cations
Cathode attracts _____ because it contains ____
(+) ; NEGATIVE CHARGE
Examples of Cationic electrolytes
SPMC
Sodium
Potassium

Factors that regulate electrolyte concentration
- Diet
- Intestinal absorption of electrolytes (GIT)
- Renal and skin excretion of electrolytes
- Hormonal Activity
When electrolytes are deficient then electrolytes are
reabsorbed
When electrolytes are excessive then electrolytes will be
excreted
