Your kidneys control the water and electrolytes in the blood.

It does not require direct brain input and will function with either transplant kidneys without innervation or in Paraplegics.

The kidneys are innervated by the Vagus nerve and the splanchnic nerves as well as the pelvic nerve. These nerves seem to provide some additional regulation.

The Vagus nerve originates in the Medulla Oblongata. As far as I can tell, the splanchnic nerve originates in the splanchnic ganglion, but I'm having troubles finding where else it goes.

What are two electrolytes that help maintain the body's water balance?

Two electrolytes that help maintain the body's water balance are sodium and potassium. They play a crucial role in regulating fluid levels within and outside cells, ensuring proper hydration and cellular function. Sodium helps retain water in the body, while potassium helps balance water levels by regulating fluid movement in and out of cells.

Why is sodium a benefit for the human body?

Salt is naturally known to absorb water and is used through out the body as a mechanism to retain water and to effectively absorb and transport it. This mechanism is shown well through a nephron ( kidney cell ) as the waste passes through the nephron the water is absorbed by the salt so we don't have to go to the toilet every 5minutes also the sodium, when working as an antagonist with potassium around a cell, stops the cell from becoming flaccid.
