Why must the concentration of ions in mammalian body fluids be kept constant?

if the solution outside the cells more dilute than the cell contents then water will move into the cell by osmosis, diluting the cytoplasm. the cell will swell and may eventually burst

Diffusion is important in body fluids because it tends to?
It tends to eliminate local concentration gradients.
How would you determine the best concentration of solutes to give a patient in need of fluids before you introduced the fluids into the patients body?
water or introduced oral intake
What is a solution called when it has a lesser concentration of particles?
A solution with the same solute concentration as another (e.g. human body fluids) is called isotonic.
What are glucose tests used for?
Glucose tests are used to determine the concentration of glucose in blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and other body fluids.
Why is the regulation of hydrogen ion concentration so important?
Either and acid shift or an alkaline shift in the body fluids could threaten the internal environment.
How does a common shore crab adjust the concentration of its body fluids?
Crabs like other crustacians are isotonic to marine environment ,also called osmoconformers, theydont adjust concentration of body fluids .
Which organs help regulate calcium concentration in body fluids?
Thyroid
What are marine animals that have body fluids with a solute concentration equal to that of the surrounding seawater?
Osmoconformers
What suppresses adh production?
Low concentration of water in body fluids suppresses ADH.

What is the concentration of substance in body fluids and it's significance?
Type your answer here... it is 56 percnt of total body fluid .body contains 100 trillions of cells out of these 25 trillions r rbc
Where is blood found in the mammalian body?
Blood is found within the circulatory system of the mammalian body. This system comprises the heart and blood vessels.
How many different bodily fluids can carry HIV?
The body fluids that carry enough concentration to infect a person with HIV are: blood, all genital secretions, breast milk, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and synovial fluid. Sweat, tears, urine, and saliva do not have the concentration of HIV to cause an infection.
What are glucose tests used for?
Glucose tests are used to determine the concentration of glucose in blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and other body fluids.
