Document Summary
Our electrolytes come from minerals which are elements found in nature. Cells in our body which are used to transport oxygen (ex. Muscle cells need that oxygen for oxidation-> energy) Each red blood cell contains hemoglobin that does the carrying (binding) of that oxygen. 40-45% of your blood is red blood cells. Each rbc has 7 hemoglobin in it. 2 events: synthesis of heme (use iron, cell division. Ingredients: minerals: copper, zinc, and iron, b-vits: b6, b12, folate (b9) If you don"t have all of the ingredients: Scenario 1: folate or b12 deficiency dna synthesis too slow, interferes with cell division, cell division becomes too slow, result: large cells= fragile membrane -> cells break (macrocytic anemia) Scenario 2: deficiency in zinc, copper or iron or too much lead, heme synthesis is too slow, result: small, pale cells without enough heme (microcytic anemia) Body fluid is composed of intracellular and extracellular fluid.
