Study Notes
- Human body contains 40-75% water.
- Water is located in intracellular and extracellular compartments.
- Concentrations of ions in cells are maintained by active and passive transport.
- Osmolality is a physical property based on solute concentration.
- Hypothalamus responds to increased osmolality by stimulating thirst and ADH secretion.
- Normal plasma osmolality is 275-295 mOsm/kg of plasma H20.
- Osmolal gap indicates presence of substances other than Na+, urea, or glucose.
- Electrolytes are required for various bodily processes such as volume and osmotic regulation, myocardial rhythm and contractility, enzyme activation, ATPase ion pumps, acid-base balance, blood coagulation, and neuromuscular excitability.
- Specific electrolytes required for each process include sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, zinc, bicarbonate, and phosphate.
- ATP production from glucose also requires magnesium.
