water is the major fluid in the human body. It consists of 60% of body weight in men and 55% in women due to the fat composition in the women body. the fluid 60% is present in two types: Extracellular fluid (plasma (blood) and interstitial (space between cells). they compromise of 20% and the rest 40% is in the intracellular fluid (in the cells). Interstitial fluid and blood plasma are similar in their electrolyte make up. Na+ and Cl- being the major electrolytes. In the intracellular fluid, K+ and HPO4- are the major electrolytes. the electrolytes net positive ions and the net negative ions that are present in the extracellular fluid is the same as in the intracellular fluid. The most abundant ions are sodium and chloride in the extracellular fluid and potassium, magnesium and phosphate in the intracellular fluid. ELECTROLYTE DISTRIBUTION Electrolyte Extracellular

Is it true or false that electrolyte balance during exercise can be maintained by drinking water in combination with a balance diet?
yes
Which system filters the blood to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance?
Urinary
Which of the mineral is an electrolyte found in extracellular fluid?
Sodium is a mineral that acts as an electrolyte found in extracellular fluid, playing a critical role in maintaining fluid balance and facilitating nerve cell function.
What two hormones are closely involved in the regulation of the fluid and electrolyte balance of the body?

What age group most commonly has fluid electrolyte and acid's balance issues?
Infants
What does blood regulate?
blood participates in the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance, acid bas (ph) balance, and boyd temperature.
Why are problems with fluid electrolyte and acid base balance particularly common in infants?
inefficient kidneys
Which gland contributes to adjustment of fluid balance?
The adrenal glands which are found on top of the kidneys help to adjust fluid balance through electrolyte balance. The posterior portion of the pituitary gland secretes anti diuretic hormone which also contributes to fluid balance in the body.
