______ is a vital electrolyte for muscle function, neuron function, blood pressure regulation, and blood volume regulation. Over 99% of the ______ ions passing through the kidneys are reabsorbed into the blood from tubular filtrate. |
Sodium |
|
|
Just like sodium, __________ is a vital electrolyte for muscle function, neuron function, and blood volume regulation. Unlike sodium, however, only about 60 to 80% of the _________ ions passing through the kidneys are reabsorbed. |
Potassium |
|
|
________ is the most important anion (negatively charged ion) in the body. ________ is vital to the regulation of factors such as pH and cellular fluid balance and helps to establish the electrical potential of neurons and muscle cells. |
Chloride |
|
|
The proximal convoluted tubule and ascending loop of Henle reabsorb about 90% of the ________ ions filtered by the kidneys. |
Chloride |
|
|
Most of the reabsorption of __________ occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule and ascending loop of Henle. |
Potassium |
|
|
Most of the reabsorption of ______ takes place in the proximal convoluted tubule and ascending loop of Henle. |
Sodium |
|
|
_______ is not only one of the most important minerals in the body that composes the bones and teeth, but is also a vital electrolyte. Functioning as an electrolyte, is essential for the contraction of muscle tissue, the release of neurotransmitters by neurons, and the stimulation of cardiac muscle tissue in the heart. The proximal convoluted tubule and the ascending loop of Henle reabsorb most of the _______ in tubular filtrate into the blood. Parathyroid hormone increases the reabsorption of _______ in the kidneys when blood _______ levels become too low. |
Calcium |
|
|
_________ ion is an essential electrolyte for the proper function of enzymes that work with phosphate compounds like ATP, DNA, and RNA. The proximal convoluted tubule and loop of Henle reabsorb most of the _________ that passes through the kidney. |
Magnesium |
