  2. Sodium bisulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bisulfate

    Sodium bisulfate, also known as sodium hydrogen sulfate, [a] is the sodium salt of the bisulfate anion, with the molecular formula NaHSO 4.Sodium bisulfate is an acid salt formed by partial neutralization of sulfuric acid by an equivalent of sodium base, typically in the form of either sodium hydroxide (lye) or sodium chloride (table salt).

  3. Blood vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_vessel

    Blood vessels function to transport blood to an animal's body tissues. In general, arteries and arterioles transport oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body and its organs, and veins and venules transport deoxygenated blood from the body to the lungs. Blood vessels also circulate blood throughout the circulatory system.

  4. Circulatory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulatory_system

    In vertebrates, the circulatory system is a system of organs that includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood which is circulated throughout the body. [1] [2] It includes the cardiovascular system, or vascular system, that consists of the heart and blood vessels (from Greek kardia meaning heart, and Latin vascula meaning vessels).

  5. Sodium in biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_in_biology

    The sodium–potassium pump, a critical enzyme for regulating sodium and potassium levels in cells. Sodium ions (Na +) are necessary in small amounts for some types of plants, [1] but sodium as a nutrient is more generally needed in larger amounts [1] by animals, due to their use of it for generation of nerve impulses and for maintenance of electrolyte balance and fluid balance.

  6. Sulfite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfite

    Sulfites that are allowed to be added in food in the US are sulfur dioxide, sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfite, potassium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite, and potassium metabisulfite. [32] Products likely to contain sulfites at less than 10 ppm (fruits and alcoholic beverages) do not require ingredients labels, and the presence of sulfites ...

  7. Extracellular fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracellular_fluid

    Homeostasis regulates, among others, the pH, sodium, potassium, and calcium concentrations in the ECF. The volume of body fluid, blood glucose, oxygen, and carbon dioxide levels are also tightly homeostatically maintained. The volume of extracellular fluid in a young adult male of 70 kg (154 lbs) is 20% of body weight – about fourteen liters.

  8. Blood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood

    Blood is circulated around the body through blood vessels by the pumping action of the heart. In animals with lungs , arterial blood carries oxygen from inhaled air to the tissues of the body, and venous blood carries carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism produced by cells, from the tissues to the lungs to be exhaled.

  9. Sodium bisulfite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bisulfite

    Sodium bisulfite (or sodium bisulphite, sodium hydrogen sulfite) is a chemical mixture with the approximate chemical formula NaHSO 3. Sodium bisulfite is not a real compound, [ 2 ] but a mixture of salts that dissolve in water to give solutions composed of sodium and bisulfite ions.
