chloride

known as halides—namely, fluorides, chlorides, bromides, iodides, and astatides. Many of the halides may be considered to be salts of the respective hydrogen halides, which are colourless gases at room temperature and atmospheric pressure and (except for hydrogen fluoride) form strong acids in aqueous solution. Indeed, the

…charged ion) of plasma is chloride; sodium chloride is its major salt. Bicarbonate participates in the transport of carbon dioxide and in the regulation of pH. Phosphate also has a buffering effect on the pH of the blood and is vital for chemical reactions of cells and for the metabolism…

Chlorides (chlorine compounds) play an essential role in the electrical neutrality and pressure of extracellular fluids and in the acid-base balance of the body. Gastric secretion is composed of chlorides in the form of hydrochloric acid and salts. Chlorine is readily absorbed during digestion, and…

…of the extracellular fluid is chloride, while bicarbonate is the second most important. In contrast, the major cation of the intracellular fluid is potassium, and the major anions are proteins and organic phosphates. The marked differences in sodium and potassium concentrations between the intracellular and extracellular fluid of cells are…

in which sodium, potassium, and chloride ions are eliminated in the urine. Examples of these drugs are chlorothiazide and hydrochlorothiazide.

magnesium, sulfur, sodium, chloride, and potassium. The trace elements (microminerals or trace minerals), required in much smaller amounts of about 15 milligrams per day or less, include iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine (iodide), selenium, fluoride,

…balance, there is a positive chloride and potassium balance during pregnancy. As a result, additional water is required to maintain the balance of the solution of sodium, chloride, and potassium in the blood, in the fluid of the spaces between the tissue cells, and within the cells themselves. Not all…

…abundant ions of seawater are chloride (Cl⁻), sodium (Na⁺), sulfate (SO²₄⁻), magnesium (Mg²⁺), calcium (Ca²⁺), and potassium
