Roles And Relationships Flashcards
Sodium
Extracellular cation, roles include nerve conduction and impairments lead to altered state of consciousness blood osmolality
Calcium
Is an Extracellular cation, needs vitamin d for better absorption, enzyme function, muscle action potential, muscle contraction
Chlorine
Extracellular anion, meant to keep electronuetraloity with soium
Potassium
Intracellular cation, involved with muscle cell action potential inadequate excretion of this can lead to hyper known as renal failure at cause, cardiac conduction
Magnesium
Intracellular cation, cardiac conduction and muscle cell action potential like has a similar role to that of potassium and is best friends with with calcium, k, calcium as they are three involved with muscle functions
Osteoclast and blast
Calcium is being excreted from the bones faster than it can be built (blast)
Phosphate
Intracellular anion, ATP production, bones and teeth
