Reg. & Func. of Elec

Chap. 52

QuestionAnswer
Sodium (Regulation)(Na+) Renal reabsorption or excretionAldosterone increase Na+ reabsorption in collecting duct of nephrons
Sodium (Function) (Na+) Regulating ECF volume and distributionMaintaining blood volumeTransmitting nerve impulses and contracting muscles
Potassium (Regulation) (K+) Renal excretion and conservationAldosterone increases K+ excretionMovement into and out of the cellsInsulin helps move K+ into cells; tissue damage and acidosis shift K+ out of cells into the ECF
Poatssium (Function) (K+) Maintaining ICF osmolalityTransmitting nerve and other electrical impulsesRegulating cardiac impluse transmission and muscle contractionSkeletal and smooth muscle functionRegulating acid-base balance
Calcium (Regulation) (Ca2+) Redistribution between bones and ECFParathyroid hormone and calcitriol increase serum Ca2+ levels; calcitonin decreases serum levels
Calcium (Function) (Ca2+) Forming bones and teethTransmitting nerve impulsesRegulating muscle conractionsMaintaining cardiac pacemakerBlood clottingActivating enzymes such as pancreatic lipase and phospholipase
Magnesium (Regulation) (Mg2+) Conservation and excretion by kidneys Intestinal absorption increased by vitamin D and parathyroid hormone
Magnesium (Function) (Mg2+) Intracellular metabolismOperating sodium-potassium pumpRelaxing muscle contractionsTransmitting nerve impulsesRegulating cardiac function
Chloride (Regulation) (Cl-) Excreted and reabsorbed along with sodium in the kidneysAldosterone increases chloride reabsorption with sodium
Chloride (Function) (Cl-) HCL productionRegulating ECF balance and vascular volumeRegulating acid-base balanceBuffer in oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange in RBCs
Phosphate (Regulation) (PO4-) Excretion and reabsorption by the kidneysParathyroid hormone decreases serum levels by increasing renal excretionReciprocal relationship with calcium; increasing serum calcium increases phosphate
Phosphate (Function) (PO4-) Forming bones and teethMetabolizing carbohydrate, protein, and fatCellular metabolism; producing ATP and DNAMuscle, nerve, and RBC functionRegulating acid-base balanceRegulating calcium levels
Bicarbonate (Regulation) (HCO3-) Excretion and reabsorption by the kidneysRegeneration by kidneys
Bicarbonate (Function) (HCO3-) Major body buffer involved in acid-base regulation

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
