what is the formula for measuring electrolyte reactivity

mEq/L =mg/100 ml 10 Valence _______________________ Atomic weigh

Plasma and interstitial fluid are subdivisions of what major body fluid compartment?

extracellular fluid (ECF) compartment.

Abnormally excessive water can lead to what?

Abnormally excessive water losses produce a decline in the volume of body fluid and can lead to dehydration or hypovolemia

elevation of the plasma sodium concentration higher than 145 mEq/L. It is usually indicative of a body water deficit relative to sodium but can also result from grossly elevated sodium intake.

Cause of hyperka-lemia is kidney disease, but other factors such as vomiting, diarrhea, potassium-conserving diuretics, extensive tissue damage as in burn or trauma patients, severe infections, and Cushing syndrome are also cited.

occurs when blood calcium levels rise above normal limits. The condition may be caused by excessive input or by increased absorption that may occur following an overdose of vitamin D.

chloride ions move into f red blood cells as bicarbonate ions move out, vice versa

Identify the two major types of buffer systems in the body. Which buffer system is the most rapid-acting?

Chemical Physiological and organ physiological

Name the type of chemical compound that breaks up, or dissociates, in solution to form ion	electrolyte
Plasma and interstitial fluid are subdivisions of what major body fluid compartment?	extracellular fluid (ECF) compartment.
List the mechanisms that regulate movement of solutes and water between the ECF and ICF space	water and solute
Abnormally excessive water can lead to what?	Abnormally excessive water losses produce a decline in the volume of body fluid and can lead to dehydration or hypovolemia
Hypernatremia	elevation of the plasma sodium concentration higher than 145 mEq/L. It is usually indicative of a body water deficit relative to sodium but can also result from grossly elevated sodium intake.
hyperkalemia	Cause of hyperka-lemia is kidney disease, but other factors such as vomiting, diarrhea, potassium-conserving diuretics, extensive tissue damage as in burn or trauma patients, severe infections, and Cushing syndrome are also cited.
Hypercalcemia	occurs when blood calcium levels rise above normal limits. The condition may be caused by excessive input or by increased absorption that may occur following an overdose of vitamin D.
