Salt = NaCl; therefore, if I understand the question correctly, we are really looking at what functions sodium and chloride serve in the body, after the salt is broken down. Na, Cl, and K are components of bodily fluids, and influence water balance in the body. Sodium: -Primary extracellular cation -Regulates size of extracellular fluid compartment as well as plasma volume Chloride: -Primary extracellular anion -Part of HCl in stomach NaCl helps support: -gonadal activity -adrenal function -adequate blood volume and pressure -(and others)
Sodium helps regulate extracellular volume. Sodium such as in blood plasma and extracellular fluids in other tissues, bathe cells and carry out transport functions for nutrients and wastes.
Increased blood pressure. This is due to increased sodium in the blood, increasing the total extracellular fluid volume
The most abundant positive ion or cation in the extracellular fluid is sodium (Na+). Chloride (Cl-) is the most abundant negative ion or anion.
In the relationship between volume and pressure when volume increases pressure decreases and when volume decreases pressure increases.
Urine production stays the same but the volume of extracellular fluid increases thus, the extracellular osmolarity decreases.
Renin mediates extracellular volume (i.e., that of the blood plasma, lymph and interstitial fluid), and arterial vasoconstriction. Thus, it regulates the body's mean arterial blood pressure. It activates the renin-angiotensin system by cleaving angiotensinogen, produced by the liver, to yield angiotensin I, which is further converted into angiotensin II by ACE. Angiotensin II then constricts blood vessels, increases the secretion of ADH and aldosterone, and stimulates the hypothalamus to activate the thirst reflex, each leading to an increase in blood pressure.
The volume is constant. The pressure will increase.The volume is constant. The pressure will increase.

For a gas, pressure and volume are inversely related. If pressure decreases, volume will increase.
Pressure, volume, temperature & the amount of gas.
Compression reduces the volume without changing the amount of content it has. Pressure is inversely affected by volume. When volume increases, pressure decreases. Likewise, when volume decreases, pressure increases.
