Is the major extracellular cation?
Sodium
What is the major anion in the extracellular fluids of the body?
Major Intracellular cation - K+ (Potassium) Major Extracellular cation - Na+ (Sodium) Major Intracellular anion - PO4+ (Phosphate) Major Extracellular anion - Cl- (Chloride)
The major electrolytes in extracellular fluid are?
chloride?
What separates the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments?
The barrier that separates the interstitial fluid from the intracellular fluid is the plasma membrane. The interstitial fluid is a major component of the extracellular fluid.
What is the major cation in the intracellular fluid?
potassium
What is periymph?
Perilymph is an extracellular fluid located within the cochlea (part of the ear) in 2 of its 3 compartments; the scala tympani and scala vestibuli. The ionic composition of perilymph is comparable to that of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. The major cation of perilymph is sodium.
Identify the three major subdivision of extracellular fluid found in the body?
The body is made up of three major extracellular materials. These materials are; body fluids, cell secretions and extracellular matrix.
Most important electrolyte for maintenance of osmotic pressure and volume?
The most abundant positive ion or cation in the extracellular fluid is sodium (Na+). Chloride (Cl-) is the most abundant negative ion or anion.
What are some uses for extracellular fluid?
Extracellular fluid is the body fluid outside the cell that is composed of blood plasma, interstitial fluid, lymph and transcellular fluid. It resides outside the cells and transports mmaterials to and from the cells
What are the two major types of extracellular fluid?
hypovolemic shock and edema
