Sweat is largely water. There is no salt in human sweat. Human sweat tastes salty because it contains potassium chloride, no sodiumm chloride. Salt functions as an electrolyte and is used in muscle contraction causing calcium and potassium to shift in the muscle cells, the heart muscle cells as well, allowing for engery to be used. Salt is regulated by nephrons of the kidneys (1 million in each) and is excreeted into the urine. High blood sodium/salt levels usually result in high salt content in urine.
