310 Values

Sodium

136-145

Muscle contraction, cardiac contraction, nerve impulse transmission

Potassium

3.5-5.0

Important for excitable tissues to depolarize and generate an action potential, influenced by magnesium levels (as magnesium goes down, potassium goes down)

Calcium

9.5-10.5

Activating enzymes, allowing muscle and cardiac contraction, controlling nerve impulses and helping blood clot

Chloride

98-106

Magnesium

1.8-2.6

Stored in bones and cartilage, skeletal muscle contraction, carb metabolism, generation of energy store, vitamin activation, blood clotting and cell growth, especially important in cardiac muscle

Osmolarity

270-300

-orrhaphy

repair of

-plasty

Repair or recunstruction
