vedmecum Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 sodium and potassium are not present in elemental form . both are present in ionic form in body . for complete chemistry of these ions click on http://charles_w.tripod.com/arthritis4.html.

John Cuthber Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 There are lots of counterions. Chloride and bicarbonate probably top the list but the amino acids in poroteins will also figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDG Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 IIRC, you have a lot of Ca++ cations too. For anions, Cl-, PO3--, and RCOO- are probably the most abundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
