Electro Uses
Pharm quiz 4, Electro Uses
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Potassium (K+) | Vital for transmission/conduction of nerve impulses and contraction of cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle, Promotes glycogen storage in liver and helps in regulation of osmolality of cellular fluids |
| Sodium (Na+) | Regulates body fluids, promotes transmission and conduction of nerve impulses, participant in Sodium-Potassium pump that causes cellular activity, combines with chloride and bicarbonate to promote acid-base balance |
| Calcium (Ca+) | Promotes nerve and muscle activity, increases contraction of heart muscle, maintains normal cellular permeability, promotes blood clotting & needed for formation of bone and teeth |
| Magnesium (Mg+) | Promotes the transmission of neuromuscular activity, Is reponsible for transportation of NA+ and K+ across cell membrane. |
