Question
Chapter 18, Problem 1CA
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which electrolyte balance and water balance are interdependent.
Introduction: To maintain the homeostasis in the body, two substances, namely, water and electrolytes, are essential. The water, as well as electrolyte balance, should be maintained for homeostasis.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The electrolyte balance and water balance are interdependent as electrolytes are dissolved in the water contained in the body fluids. Anything that changes the electrolyte concentration alters water concentration. Similarly, anything that alters the water concentration also alters electrolyte concentration either by diluting or concentrating them.
