Mineralocorticoids help regulate both water and electrolyte balance in body fluids?
false
Which mineral is critical to keeping the heartbeat steady and plays a major role in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance?
potassium.
What are five ways your body maintains homeostasis?
sweating, shivering, fluid flow, blood flow, and blood spreading
What are two electrolytes that help maintain the body's water balance?
Potassium and Sodium. Sodium is the main electrolyte involved in maintaining water balance within the body. When the sodium level becomes too high, an urge to drink water, (I.E. Thirst) develops increasing water intake. When the sodium level becomes low, the kidneys produce more urine to help maintain the balance.
Which hormones maintain salt and water balance in the extracellular fluid?
Aldosterone (a mineralocorticoid) regulates water and electrolyte (salt) balance in the extracellular fluid, mainly by regulating sodium ion reabsorption by kidney tubules. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes the distal and collecting tubules of the kidney to reabsorb more water from the urinary filtrate, thereby reducing urine output and conserving body water.
Explain how water balance and electrolyte balance are interdependent?
electrolytes are dissolved in water of the body fluids

Is it true or false that electrolyte balance during exercise can be maintained by drinking water in combination with a balance diet?

Mineralocorticoids help regulate both water and electrolyte balance in body fluids?
false
What are the receptors for directly monitoring electrolyte balance?

Is sugar water an electrolyte or non electrolyte?
Its a non electrolyte.
Is the kidney also a major homeostatic organ because it maintains electrolyte balance?
The kidney, among other systems, helps to maintain electrolyte balance.
Which hormones in the adrenal gland function to control water and electrolyte balance?
Aldosterone is excreted from the adrenal gland to control water and electrolyte balance in the body. Aldosterone is a considered a steroid hormone which is produced by the outer section of the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland.
