The main cation in extracellular fluid is: a. sodium b. potassium c. chloride Most sodium could be found in _____. a. intracellular space b. extracellular space c. intravascular space d. in the urine Which of th
Water in the body is divided into two main compartments. The intracellular compartment accounts for approximately two-thirds of the water in the body. It is the fluid found inside cells. Extracellular fluid is the fluid that bathes the body's cells and circulates through the body. Examples ...
Maintenance of salt and water balance in the body: The body is made of 60% water. 40% of the water is present inside cells - intracellular fluid (ICF). The rest of the water is present outside the cells in the extracellular space and between cells. This fluid is also called extracellul...
Consequently, at the physiological pH of 7.4, uric acid in the extracellular fluid is predominantly (98-99%) found as a deprotonated urate anion3). The divalent urate anion is practically nonexistent in the body because of the very high pKa2, and thus the term urate...
In summary, while there is some evidence to suggest that creatine supplementation increases water retention, primarily attributed to increases in intracellular volume, over the short term, there are several other studies suggesting it does not alter total body water (intra or extracellular) relative to...
What two body systems provide the regulation and control of all other body systems that are necessary for homeostasis? How does the water in your body help maintain homeostasis? What two organs in the lower part of the body are part of the immune system? What is e...
The focus of this review written for the thematic “Mechanisms of function and regulation of large transport membrane channels” issue of the Journal is on the protective antigen (PA) component of anthrax exotoxin, or rather on its 63-kDa fragment (PA63), which oligomerizes to form a translo...
Which endocrine gland regulates electrolyte and fluid homeostasis? What is the main cell of the nervous tissue? What tissues make up the peripheral nervous system? About 96% of the body consists of what four elements? Which component carries oxygen from the heart to all parts of ...
Extracellular fluid and intracellular fluid are terms that define the fluid outside and inside cells. Extracellular fluid is the fluid surrounding the cells, while intracellular fluid is the liquid inside the cells. These fluids are divided by a semipermeable membrane, so the fluids are not stagnant...
What is the importance of electrolytes in the body? How do we gain electrolytes, and how do we lose them? What do you think would happen to a person who suffered a severe electrolyte depletion (They might die is too easy...)? Think of something less dras Explain...
