About this document
Chloride (CL-) by divyanikatre474 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Chloride (Cl⁻) is a crucial extracellular anion that plays a significant role in osmotic and acid-base balance, with normal serum levels ranging from 96–106 mEq/L. It is absorbed in the intestines, regulated by the kidneys, and can lead to conditions like hypochloremia or hyperchloremia based on various health factors. Additionally, chloride channels, particularly the CFTR, are essential for chloride transport, with mutations leading to conditions such as Cystic Fibrosis.
