L2 P1 Flashcards
ions capable of carrying electric charge
electrolytes
electrolytes are classified based on
type of charge they carry and their migration in electric field
have negative charge and move toward the anode
anions
have positive charge and migrate in the direction of cathode
cations
involved in the regulation of blood volume as well as osmotic regulation
Sodium,potassium, chloride
involved in the regulation pf myocardial rhythm and contractility
Potassium,Magnesium,Calcium
acid base balance electrolytes
Bicarbonate,Chloride,and Potassium
cofactors in enzyme activation
Magnesium,Calcium,Zinc
regulation of adenosine triphosphate ion pumps
Magnesium
involve on blood coagulation
Calcium,Magnesium
involve in neuromuscular excitability
Potassium,Calcium,Magnesium
involve in production and use of atp from glucose
Magnesium,Phosphate
average water content of the body
40%-75% of total body weight
why does woman have lower water content than men
higher fat content
functions of water
Transports nutrients to cells,determines cell volume by its transport into and out of cells,removes waste products by way of urine,and acts as the body’s coolant by way of sweating
fluid inside the cell
Intracellular fluid
intracellular fluid acounts about - of total body water
2/3 of total body water
accounts for the other 1/3 of total body water
extracellular fluid
otherwise known as plasma
Intravascular extracellular fluid
fluid that surrounds the cells in tissue
interstitial cell fluid
normal plasma is 93% water,with the remaining volume occupied by
lipids and proteins
concentration of ions within cells and in plasma are maintained both by
energy-consuming active transport process, and by diffusion passive transport process.
mechanism that requires energy to move ions across cellular membranes
Active Transport
Maintaining a high intracellular concentration of K+ and a high extracellular (plasma) concentration of Ma+ requires use of energy from
ATP in ATPase-dependent ion pumps
