<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The abundant inorganic elements act as [[electrolyte]]s. The most important ions are [[sodium]], [[potassium]], [[calcium]], [[magnesium]], [[chloride]], [[phosphate]] and the organic ion [[bicarbonate]]. The maintenance of precise [[ion gradient]]s across [[cell membrane]]s maintains [[osmotic pressure]] and [[pH]]. Ions are also critical for [[nerve]] and [[muscle]] function, as [[action potential]]s in these tissues are produced by the exchange of electrolytes between the [[extracellular fluid]] and the cell's fluid, the [[cytosol]]. Electrolytes enter and leave cells through proteins in the cell membrane called [[ion channel]]s. For example, [[muscle contraction]] depends upon the movement of calcium, sodium and potassium through ion channels in the cell membrane and [[T-tubule]]s.</div>FuzzyBot
