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)
