Sodium ion is the most concentrated ion in the extracellular fluid.
A compartment within the body?
intracellular fluid compartment and extracellular fluid compartment
What is the technical name for cytosol?
intracellular fluid
Is urine from a catheter a intracellular or extracellular fluid?
Extracellular.
What way does oxygen get into the cells?
Diffusion from the intracellular fluid.
What is the Most abundant positive electrolyte in extracellular fluid?
Sodium ion is the most concentrated ion in the extracellular fluid.
Is The most abundant cation in intracellular fluid is potassium?
No, it is potassium.
Which electrolyte has the highest concentration in the intracellular fluid?
The electrolyte with the highest intracellular concentration would probably be considered to be sodium chloride (NaCl), or at least Na^+ cation.
What is the major cation in the intracellular fluid?
potassium
What is the most abundant cation in the fluid surrounding cells?
Sodium
What is the most abundant buffer system in the Intracellular Fluid and blood plasma?
protein buffer
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.
Does lymph includes extracellular fluid or intracellular fluid?
intracellular fluid
What is fluid and electrolyte balance and how is it maintained?
water is the major fluid in the human body. It consists of 60% of body weight in men and 55% in women due to the fat composition in the women body. the fluid 60% is present in two types: Extracellular fluid (plasma (blood) and interstitial (space between cells). they compromise of 20% and the rest 40% is in the intracellular fluid (in the cells). Interstitial fluid and blood plasma are similar in their electrolyte make up. Na+ and Cl- being the major electrolytes. In the intracellular fluid, K+ and HPO4- are the major electrolytes. the electrolytes net positive ions and the net negative ions that are present in the extracellular fluid is the same as in the intracellular fluid. The most abundant ions are sodium and chloride in the extracellular fluid and potassium, magnesium and phosphate in the intracellular fluid.

What is the most abundant positively charged cation in the extra cellular fluid?
What plasma membrane contains two kinds of lipids
What is the definition of intracellular and extracellular electrolyte composition?
Intracellular electrolyte composition refers to the concentration of charged ions (such as sodium, potassium, and chloride) inside a cell. Extracellular electrolyte composition, on the other hand, refers to the concentration of these ions outside the cell. Maintaining the balance of these electrolytes is crucial for proper cell function and overall health.
A compartment within the body?
intracellular fluid compartment and extracellular fluid compartment
