Fluid Balance
26. Fluid and Electrolyte Balance, Acid Base Balance / Fluid Balance / Problem 1
Problem 1

Answer the question by choosing responses from the following:  
1) Sodium: plays a crucial role in the reabsorption of H+ ions in the kidneys.
2) Potassium: Present outside the cell in 10 times higher concentration than inside. 
3) Calcium: Its concentration in the blood is increased by parathyroid hormone (PTH). 
4) Hydrogen ions: are secreted in the renal tubules to reabsorb K+ ions. 
5) Phosphate: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) acts on the kidneys to decrease phosphate reabsorption, resulting in increased urinary excretion of phosphate. 
6) Ammonium ions: helps in the formation of urea in the DCT.   


Which of the above options correctly matches the ions with their description?
