The double layer of fatty components that create the outside of the cell membrane

Lipid Bilayer
Movement of particles or solutes from an area of high concentration to low concentration

Diffusion
abnormal elevation of serum potassium levels

Hyperkalemia
abnormally high sodium level in the blood

hypernatremia
a solution with osmotic pressure greater than that of bosy fluid

hypertonic
abnormally decreased potassium levels in the blood

hypokalemia
an abnormally low sodium level in the blood

hyponatremia
a solution with an osmotic pressure less than that of body fluid

hypotonic
fluid within cells in which most of the body's supply of potassium is contained

intracellular
protein-lined pores or transport channels, specifically sized for each substance, which allow electrolyte movements among the cells

ion channel
a solution that has the same osmotic pressure as the cells and body fluids

isotonic
the point where 2 or more bones come together, allowing movement to occur

joint
tough white bands that bind joints together, connecting bones to cartilage

ligaments
the double layer of fatty components that create the outside of the cell membrane

lipid bilayer
movement of particles or solutes from an area of high concentraition to low concentration

diffusion
salt or acid substances that become ionic conductors when dissolved in a solvent

electrolytes
negatively charged part of an atom

electron
salt or acid substances that become ionic conductors when dissolved in a solvent
