b.gastric secretion
c.jejunal secretion
d.colonic secretion

2. Max concentration of potassium in.?
a.saliva
b.gastric secretion
c.jejunal secretion
d.colonic secretion

ANSWER:

Ans :
1. A
,
2. D
Highest K+ concentration in colonic fluid (15-80 mEq/L; usually more than 40 mEq/L)- concentration in saliva 15-20 mEq/L and never more than 30 mEq/L.....Maximum K+ is secreted by saliva- volume of saliva per day 1000-1500 mL whereas volume of colonic fluid less than 100 mL
