- What are the most important extracellular and intracellular fluid ions and give the significance of each? Intracellular: Potassium ion Magnesium ion Phosphate Sulfate Extracellular: Sodium ion Chloride Bicarbonatearrow_forwardThe normal range of the sodium electrolyte in the body is 134 to 145 mEq/L. The term mEq is dependent on the charge of the ion. Since sodium is a +1 ion, 134 mEq/L is the same as 134 mmol/L. An ion that has a greater positive or negative charge; however, will have 1 mEq for each positive or negative charge of the ion for every 1 mmol. For example, for Ca+2, 2mEq/1mmol. If the standard range of Magnesium in the body is 0.70 to 0.95 mmol/L, convert this value into mEq/L for the Mg2+ ion. (Use dimensional analysis to figure this out)arrow_forwardMetabolic alkalosis refers to a process whereupon decreased hydrogen ion, or increased bicarbonate, concentrations occur in the body, and the blood pH becomes too basic. Answer the following questions: How does the body regain its acid-base equilibria/balance? What happens when that balance does not happen? Will a buffer system still work under these conditions?arrow_forward
