What is the mineral in salt that helps control the amount of fluid in the body?
potassium
Where is Extracellular fluid found in body?
proteins and electrolytes including the liquid in blood plasma and interstitial fluid
Is potassium found in normal cerebrospinal fluid?
yes
Which cation is highest inside cells?
I would say potassium. ( unless much calcium is being stored in the ER and other places )
What is the function of Ringer's solution?
Ringer's is a sterile solution of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride in purified water, used as a fluid and electrolyte replacer and can be used as an irrigating physiologic salt solution. It is nearly the same as the fluid found in sterile areas of your body.
What is the mineral in salt that helps control the amount of fluid in the body?
potassium
Which body fluid has the highest volume in your body?
Blood. You have roughly 10 pints of blood in your body. No other fluid in your body reaches that volume so the blood wins.
What fluid in the body has the highest hydrogen ion concentration?
Gastric juice.
Is fluid retention caused by high or low potassium in the body?
It is excessive salt intake (sodium) which can place an individual at risk of fluid retention.
Where is Extracellular fluid found in body?
proteins and electrolytes including the liquid in blood plasma and interstitial fluid
What is the principal cation in extracellular fluid?
Sodium is the primary cation for ECF, potassium is the primary cation for ICF.
How does potassium affect osmotic pressure?
same as other ions. Note that in your body potassium salts within cells balances the osmotic pressure of sodium salts in the extracellular fluid.
Which body fluid has the highest pH?
Your gastric fluid is a 1 on the pH scale, being extremely acidic, blood and tears are about a 7 .
What mineral helps maintain proper fluid balance and regulates blood pressure?
There are a variety of minerals necessary to your body's health. Some of the minerals specific to blood and fluids include;Chloride: A mineral that regulates body fluid volume, concentration and acid-base balance. Balance intertwined with that of sodium.Chromium: A mineral important in regulating blood glucose.Iron: A mineral that is an essential constituent of blood and muscle and important for the transport of oxygen.Sodium: A mineral that regulates body fluid volume, concentration and acid-base
Sodium and potassium are found mostly in what part of the body?
Sodium and potassium are two very important micronutrients of the body. They are present in every cells of the body, Sodium (Na), normally outside the cells (in the extra-cellular fluid) and Potassium (K), normally inside the cell (in the cytoplasm) . By changing the balance of which of them are in a greater percentage inside and outside the cells , they are able to create membrane potential, which are necessary for the nerve impulses. (See sodium/potassium pumps, please) They are also electrolytes, maintaining the body's proper fluid balance. More info could be find on related links.
How does potassium affect your blood pressure?
Yes potassium deficiency can cause many problems such as hypertension, because potassium is a very important mineral that help us feel and be healthy everyday. Potassium is found in the body cells.
Is The most abundant cation in intracellular fluid is potassium?
No, it is potassium.
