Part 2 Block Flashcards
Exists only as inorganic phosphate kr as organic phosphate ester.
Phosphate
Functions of Phosphate
- Transfer of energy during metabolism (ATP)
- Maintenance of pH of body fluids (P buffers)
- Constituents of bones
- Membrane structure (phospholipids)
4th most abundant cation
Mg
Normal Value of Mg
1.3 -2.1 mEq/L or 0.65- 1.05 mmol/L
Hormones regulates the level of Ca and phosphate
PTH, GH
Effect if there is a massive intake of solutes free fluid beer
Hyponatremia
Increase the reabsorption of phosphate in the kidney
GH
Stimulates the kidney to excretr phosphate while conserving Ca
PTH
Which of the following is TRUE in assay notes of Phosphates?
- patient must be in the fasting state, if not, inorganic P will increase
- Hemolyzed samples are avoided
- RBC are riched in phosphate
- Commercial heparin preparation is increased
- levels of P have diurnal variation
- higher values are obtained in the AM
- usually Pt with hypercalcemia have hypophosphate
ALL
Proteins involved in the transport of Fe
Haptoglobin
Hemopexin
Form of Fe found in oxyHb and reduced Hb
Fe2+
Form of Fe found in ferritin, hemosiderin, transferrin and metHb
Fe3+
Normal range of Cu in normal adult body
80-120mg
Average daily intake of Cu
2.5mg
Factors increase Serum Fe except?
- Increase RBC destruction
- Ineffective/ decrease erythrocyte formation
- Block in heme synthesis
- Increase release of storage Fe
- Increase intake/impaired control of Fe absorption
- None
None
TRUE OR FALSE.
TIBC INCREASE = PLASMA TRANSFERRIN INCREASE
TRUE
Contains Vit B12
Cobalt
Help form the active sites of certain enzymes (xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase, etc)
Molybdenum
Decreased when synthesis of transferrin is low
TIBC (TOTAL IRON BINDING CAPACITY)
Essential trace element that is important as an activator of enzymes
Zinc
Component of TH thyroxine (T4) & T3 and regulatws the basal metabolic rate and for proper growth and development
Iodine
Important for wound healing
Zinc
Stabilizes the nucleic acid structure allowing synthesis of proteins
Nickel
Essential component of the glucose tolerance factor which helps maintain the normal insulin response to a glucose load
Chromium
