WATER AND MINERALS Flashcards
The two water quality
HARD WATER AND SOFT WATER
Water that contains high amounts of minerals such as calcium and magnesium
HARD WATER
Water replacing water minerals with sodium
SOFT WATER
Salt that dissolves in water and dissociates into charged particles called ions
ELECTROLYTE
Two important minerals are
SODIUM AND POTASSIUM
This is condition in which a person experiences increase fluid retention and oedema
FLUID VOLUME EXCESS
16 essential minerals are divided into two categories
MAJOR MINERALS
TRACE MINERALS
is a transport protein that works to exchange Na from within the cells to potassium.
Na-K pump
are needed daily from dietary sources in amounts of 100mg or
higher
MAJOR MINERALS
are required daily in amounts less than or equal to 20 mg.
Minerals are stable when foods containing them are cooked
TRACE MINERALS
maintained by electrolytes that include minerals and blood proteins.
Homeostasis (physiologic equilibrium)
Water is component of
BLOOD
LYMPH
SALIVA AND URINE
Water made supply trace minerals such as
FLUORIDE
ZINC
COPPER
Are minerals that carry electrical charges or ions when dissolved in water
ELECTROLYTES
The primary extracellular electrolytes in body fluids are
SODIUM (CATION)
CHLORIDE (ANION)
The primary intracellular electrolyte
POTASSIUM (CATION)
Moving electrolytes in and out of the cell membrane requires
TRANSPORT PROTEINS
A person experiences vascular cellular or intracellular dehydration
FLUID VOLUME DEFICIT
When body fluid levels full by 10% of body weight
SEVERE FLUID VOLUME DEFICIT
Provide rigidity and strength to the teeth and skeleton
Serve as storage depot for other need of the body
Allow proper muscle contraction and release
Influence nerve and muscle function
it is associated with compromised regulatory mechanism, exists fluid intake or exist sodium intake
MINERALS
What are the major minerals
CALCIUM
CHLORIDE
MAGNESIUM
PHOSPHORUS
POTASSIUM
SODIUM
SULFUR
What are the trace minerals
ARSENIC
BORON
CHROMIUM
COBALT
COPPER
FLUORIDE
IODINE
IRON
MANGANESE
MOLYBDENUM
NICKEL
SELENIUM
SILICON
ZINC
Owns the distinction of being the most abundant mineral in the body
99% is stored in the bones
CALCIUM
1% of calcium circulate in the body fluid as
IONIZED CA
Hormones that regulate calcium balance
CALCITONIN
PARATHORMONE
VITAMIN D
Decreases blood calcium levels
CALCITONIN
Increases blood calcium levels
PARATHORMONE
promotes calcium Deposit into the bones
VITAMIN D
Blood ca levels increases through
The small intestine absorbs more ca
The bones release more ca
The kidney excrete less ca
HYPOCALCEMIA
Blood calcium above normal
Muscles contract and cannot relax, hardness/stiffness
CA RIGOR
Blood CA below normal
Characterized by uncontrolled muscle contraction
CA TETANY
The most abundant source of calcium
MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS A
Most abundant mineral in the body
85% is in our bones and teeth
PHOSPHORUS
Part of the body’s buffer systems
PHOSPHORIC ACID
What are the rda of phosphorus
700 MG PER DAY FOR MEN AND WOMEN 19 YEARS OLD AND OLDER
Rda of magnesium
420 MG PER DAY FOR MEN
320 MG PER DAY FOR WOMEN
Is easily lost from food during processing so unprocessed foods are the best choices
MAGNESIUM
An extreme and prolonged contraction of the muscles similar to Ca Tetany
SEVERE MG DEF. - TETANY
Present in all chon and place it’s most important role in shaping strands of CHON, thiamine and biotin
SULFUR
