Under normal conditions, the intracellular potassium content is much ___________ than that of the extracellular fluid.
Definition
Greater
Term
In acidosis the extracellular hydrogen ion content increases and the hydrogen ions move into the intracellular fluid. To keep the intracellular fluid electrically neutral an equal number of potassium ions ___________ leave the cell, creating ____________________
Definition
Potassium ions LEAVE the cell, creating RELATIVE HYPERKALEMIA
Term
In Alkalosis, more hydrogen ions are present in the intracellular fluid than in the extracellular fluid. Hydrogen ions move from the intracellular fluid into the extracellular fluid. To keep the intracellular fluid electrically neutral, potassium ions move from ________________ into the _________________ creating _________________
Definition
Potassium ions move FROM THE EXTRACELLULAR FLUID into the INTRACELLULAR FLUID creating A RELATIVE HYPOKALEMIA
