I.....
have normal serum level of 3.5-5.0mEq/L
am no conserved
am needed for muscle contraction
am a major cation of the ICF
am instrumental in muscle, nerve impulse transmission
have a reciprocal action to Na+
am excreted primarily by the kidneys
I AM POTASSIUM
-
I.....
am the main ECF anion
am found in GI fluid, blood, interstitial fluid and lymph
have a normal serum level of 95-105mEq/L
pair up with Na+
am excreted or conserved by the kidney
am down, so is K+ and when i am up so is K+
help to maintain osmotic pressure
I AM CHLORIDE
-
I....
am the main electrolyte in water
have normal serum level of 135-145mEq/L
mainly regulated reasbsorption or excretion through the kidneys but may be lost through the skin and GI tract
am important to the fuctioning of nervous and muscle tissues
am a risk for alterations from my normal levels anytime fluid volumes change
assist with fluid regulation. In fact I am the primary regulator of ECF
