MLT Electrolytes

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
electrolytes   compounds which dissociate in solution to form ions  
🗑
non-electrolytes   molecules that remain intact in body water e.g. glucose, BUN, creatinine  
🗑
renin-angiotensin-aldosterone   system which aids in regulation of blood volume  
🗑
renin   enzyme from kidney, converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I  
🗑
angiotensin II   3 functions - vasoconstriction, acts on hypothalamus to initiate ADH secretion, acts on adrenals to secrete aldosterone  
🗑
aldosterone   adrenal hormone which acts on kidney to retain sodium (& water) and excrete potassium  
🗑
natriuretic peptides   ANP, BNP hormones which promote sodium (and water) excretion from the kidney  
🗑
osmolality   physical property of a solution based on the concentration of solutes per kilogram of solvent  
🗑
colligative properties   describes the behavior of solutions that can change based solely on the concentration of particles present  
🗑
ADH-thirst sensation   regulatory mechanisms of the hypothalamus stimulated by plasma osmolality  
🗑
bone minerals   calcium, phosphorus, magnesium  
🗑
lactate   by-product of anaerobic metabolism  
🗑
anion gap   estimation of the difference between the unmeasured anions and unmeasured cations  
🗑
ionized calcium   physiologically active form of calcium  
🗑
total calcium   total of all forms of calcium in plasma (protein-bound, anion-bound, free)  
🗑
sodium   major extracellular cation  
🗑
potassium   major intracellular cation  
🗑
chloride   major extracellular anion  
🗑
bicarbonate   extracellular anion  
🗑
ISE   ion selective electrode - measures the voltage (potential) differences between the measuring electrode and the reference electrode  
🗑
mmol/L   units for electrolyte measurements  
🗑
