Sodium is indispensable for life because it is important for:
- regulation of blood pressure, pH, blood volume, osmotic pressure
- transmission of nervous impulse
- correct neuron function
The body doesn't produce sodium chloride.
The human body contain approx. 0,4 % sodium chloride.
Sodium chloride has got electron configuration of 2,8,1. Potassium chloride has got electron configuration of 2,8,8,1. They behave identically in almost all the chemical reactions. But then you have potassium chloride molecule inside the cell. You need to have sodium chloride molecules out side the body cell to make them survive. If you get intravenous injection of sodium chloride, nothing will happen to you. If you give intravenous injection of potassium chloride, you will die instantly. How body cells recognize the difference between sodium chloride and potassium chloride in no time is the big question mark.
From the added sodium chloride in foods.
The elements sodium and chlorine {note spelling} react to form sodium chloride.
Sodium Chloride Injection 0.9% is used to replace lost body fluids and salts. Other medicines which are given by injection or by a drip, may be diluted with Sodium Chloride Injection 0.9%. Sodium Chloride Injection 0.9% can also be used as a sterile irrigation solution.
Examples: calcium phosphates, sodium chloride, potassium chloride etc.
The most important is sodium chloride.
Many animal organisms contain salt.
No it is not true. It causes high blood pressure in the body.
Sodium chloride has two atoms in the formula unit (NaCl): sodium and chlorine.
Common physiologic solutions include saline (sodium chloride 0.9%), Ringer's solution (sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and sodium lactate), and Hartmann's solution (sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and sodium lactate). These solutions mimic the electrolyte composition of plasma to maintain normal body functions during medical interventions such as surgeries, dehydration, or blood loss.
