Plasma contains more sodium than chloride. How can this be if individual ions of sodium and chloride exactly balance each other out, and plasma is electrically neutral?
The 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)
In the Nernst equation [V = 62 log10 (Co/ Ci)], the term Co represents:
the intracellular concentration of potassium
the intracellular concentration of chloride
the membrane potential (in millivolts)
the extracellular concentration of sodium
the extracellular concentration of potassium
