Across 2. (2 words with a space in between) 95% of this molecule is bound in bicarbonate. 5. Liver enzyme known as alanine aminotransferase or serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) 7. Formed by carbohydrate digestion. Regulated by glucagon and insulin. Levels greater than or equal to 126 may indicate diabetes. 8. Plays an important role in nerve conduction, muscle function and acid-base balance. Mostly in the intracellular fluid as compared to the extracellular fluid. 10. (2 words with a space in between) Made up of albumin and globulin. 12. Fairly specific and sensitive test for the evaluation of renal function. 13. Forms in the liver and is the final product of protein metabolism. Used as an index of glomerular filtration.

Down 1. (2 words with a space in between) Results from the breakdown of hemoglobin in the red blood cells and is a byproduct of hemolysis. 2. Blood electrolyte. Maintains cellular integrity through it's influence on osmotic pressure and acid-base and water balance. It has the reciprocal power of increasing or decreasing in concentration in response to concentration of other anions. 3. Liver enzyme also known as serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) 4. Found in the blood, cartilage and within the cell itself. Regulates neuromuscular irritability. Deficiency of this can lead to decreased bone mineral density by causing calcium to drift out of the bones.. 5. An enzyme originating mainly in the bone, liver and placenta. Used as an index of liver and bone disease. 6. Makes up 90% of the electrolyte fluid. Primary functin in the body is to chemically maintain osmotic pressure and acid balance. 9. The most abundant plasma protein in the body. Used for maintaining oncotic pressure and used as a carrier protein. 11. Mostly stored in the bones and teeth. Participates in vital processes such as muscular contraction, cardiac function, transimssion of nerve impulses and blood clotting. 50% of it is ionized and the rest is protein bound.
