Having the proper balence of Sodium(Na+), Potassium(K+), Calcium(Ca2+), Magnesium(Mg2+), Chloride(Cl−), Hydrogen_phosphate(HPO42−), and Hydrogen_carbonate(HCO3−) in your body. This can be obtained by the proper nutrient intake, for example fruits such as bananas,Oranges, etc.
No receptors directly monitor fluid or electrolyte balance
electrolytes are dissolved in water of the body fluids

Water balance and electrolyte balance are interdependent because electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, help regulate the distribution of water in the body. Maintaining proper electrolyte levels is crucial for the body to effectively regulate fluid balance and prevent dehydration or overhydration. Imbalances in electrolytes can lead to disturbances in water balance, affecting overall physiological function.
An electrolyte imbalance can be an indicator of renal failure. The kidneys maintain the electrolyte balance in the body. Electrolytes are needed by the heart so it can make use of the electrical impulses it gets from the brain. They also regulate fluids and acid levels in the body.

Phosphate and calcium are stored within the skeletal system. If the body needs these substances in order to maintain electrolyte balance, they are then released into the body from the skeletal system.
Chloride helps maintain electrolyte balance by working alongside sodium and potassium to regulate fluid balance within cells and tissues. It plays a crucial role in maintaining proper hydration levels, regulating osmotic pressure, and assisting in nerve function. Imbalances in chloride levels can disrupt overall electrolyte balance and lead to health issues such as dehydration or alkalosis.

No, "libr" is not an electrolyte. Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions in solution and are capable of conducting electricity. "Libr" does not refer to any specific chemical compound or element that behaves as an electrolyte.
